Title: Define robotics, automation, and control systems.
Course: Technology of Robotic Design (21009-36) > Section: Exploring Control Systems and Robotic Systems

Definition should include the following terms and a description of how they are interrelated:

- Robotics—the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture, human-robot interaction, and application of robots
- Automation systems—the method of control that offers sensory feedback and information processing through control systems, reducing the need for human intervention
- Control systems—device(s) that work with other applications of information technology to manage, command, direct, or regulate the behavior of mechanisms and processes

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is a robotics system?
- How are control systems used in robotics?
- How might robotics, automation, and control systems be used in the future?
