ROBOTICS - HISTORY

                              Robotics is undoubtedly the science of today’s era. Robotics can be defined as the branch of science that deals with robots, its working, automation and control. I think it can be best described as a new generation branch of science. This mention doesn't mean that this was developed in the present century. It points out to the current relevance of this branch of science.
ISAAC ASIMOV
                                 While searching for the origin of the word “Robotics” we need to go back to the starting of 20th century, where the concept of robots and the word “Robotics” was first used in print by the famous writer Isaac Asimov in his science fiction, ‘Liar’. Even though, contradictions exists about the origin of this word, the better official confirmation according to Oxford dictionary states that it was first used by Isaac Asimov. Whatever be the fact, Isaac Asimov has made much contributions in this field of Robotics. He put forward the wonderful idea about how it looks like, if a piece of machine can do exactly the same thing that a human can do.
                              The concept of robots gets along with the idea of artificial intelligence. It’s an interesting fact that a controlled machine, which may or may not having resemblance to a human body or any of our organ, can thinks similar to that of a human being in its limited domain, acts according to it and performs actions that looks like  how a human can do the same. Thus, Robotics is always a field of amazement and wonder and an ever interested field for scientists.
