"Robotics is the discipline which combines computer programming, mechanical engineering, esthetics, and specifics from the industry or other applications in which the robots function. Its purpose is to design machines that can perform functions similar to those done by humans but more efficiently, safely, and effectively. Robotics also allows these functions to be performed in environments in which humans cannot operate."
