What is/are robotics? The word robot originates from the Czech word ‘robota’ which means forced labour or slave. Robotics is the use of machinery (robots) to perform and complete tasks that would regularly have been completed by human beings, this purpose lends example to the origin of the word and links it to its purpose in today’s world. This is what our group project aims around, and whether or not these constantly developing forms of technology are a good thing or not. We will explore different fields where robotics have an important part to play and look at whether or not the impact they are having is good or bad.
