Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2019, Vol 117, Issue 4
Abstract
Robot comes from the check word Robota which means forced work or labour. We use the word robot to mean any man made machine that can perform work or other actions normally performed by human, either automatically or by remote control. Robotics is the science and study of robots. The repetitive works done by humans for months and years are better done by robots; when these types of works are considered to be dengerous for humans. They are used in factories to built things like candy bars and electronics. Robots are now used in medical world, for military tactics, for finding objects under water and to explore other planets. Robotic technology has helped people who have lost arms or legs. Robots are a great tool to help mankind.
