Robotics is the science and technology of
robots, their design, manufacture, and application. Robotics requires a working knowledge of
electronics,
mechanics, and
software, and is usually accompanied by a large working knowledge of many subjects. A person working in the field is a
roboticist. The word robotics was first used in print by
Isaac Asimov, in his
science fiction short story "
Liar!", published in May
1941 in
Astounding Science Fiction. Before the coining of the term, however, there was interest in ideas similar to robotics (namely
automata and
androids) dating as far back as
400 BC, with the work of
Archytas of Tarentum and his mechanical
Pigeon. Robotics are used in industrial, military, exploration, home making, and academic and research applications.
