Electronic Engineering Applications
Robotics
Robotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture, and application.
Although the appearance and capabilities of robots vary vastly, all robots share the features of a mechanical, movable structure under some form of autonomous control. Electronic engineers design the electronics and software that allow the robots to operate.
