Robotics is among the EU priority areas and among the top 10 digital startups domains. Robotics is a domain of technology that produces programmable machines. Robotics encompasses different areas of science and engineering to design, construct, operate and use robots. Main goals of robotics are to create robots that assist humans. Robots can replace humans when performing work in hazardous environments, when repetitive operations are performed or high accuracy is required. AI has given a new impetus to the development of robotics. Robotics relies on a multiply technologies, tools and scientific principles like: Mechanical engineering; Sensors; Motors and mechanisms that allow robots to move and manipulate objects; Software and hardware that control robot movement, interpret sensor data, and make decisions based on programming; AI; Machine learning (ML); Computer vision; Natural language communication, etc. Robotics has a large range of applications across variety of industries: Industrial automation, Logistic and warehousing, Healthcare, Agriculture, Search and rescue, Home appliances.
