It is the science in charge of studying, designing and manufacturing machines that are capable of performing human tasks that require reasoning, logic and intelligence, all with the purpose of partially or totally replacing the tasks that human beings perform, they are capable of receiving and analyzing the information of the environment where they are, in this way they carry out the tasks satisfactorily.
Robotics uses different disciplines such as computer science, electronics, mechanics, among others to carry out its practice, many have been scientists who over the years and as a result of trial and error have led robotics to where An example of these is found today is Leonardo Torres Quevedo who built a command to control a torpedo, another of his achievements was to manufacture an air shuttle, among other engineering works. Another character who has been of great importance in robotics is the writer Isaac Asimov who has been one of the authors who has described in detail the possible behaviors that machines can adopt, that is why the term "robotics" was coined to him, at the age of 22 he wrote about the well-known “Laws of robotics” which are mentioned below.
Robots cannot inflict harm on humans, nor must they allow harm to be done to them by failing to avoid such an act. The robot must obey the orders of its owner at all times, as long as said order does not violate the first law. robot must protect itself, as long as that protection does not imply breaking any of the above laws.
The advances that this science has had in the last three decades have been amazing, so much so that today it has given rise to practices such as robotic surgery, which consists of the performance by a robot of a highly complex surgery, also in the area In the military, an endless number of instruments have been developed in order to preserve the lives of soldiers, for that reason and more it is considered a science of great importance for man since it seeks to facilitate and improve the lives of human beings.
