Robotics
As a foundational pillar in modern engineering, Robotics initiated a profound transformation in the manufacturing, logistics, and automation worlds with its rapid acceleration in the late 20th century. It single-handedly democratized automated physical tasks by migrating the technology from high-cost, fixed-purpose industrial manipulators to much more accessible, programmable, and flexible systems. This pivotal shift dismantled previous barriers of manual labor and production inefficiency, placing powerful, intelligent automation tools into the hands of countless engineers, manufacturers, and innovators globally.
