Robots have already ceased to be characters in science fiction films. Today, they clean apartments, assemble cars, perform surgeries, guard buildings, and even participate in the Olympics. Robotics is not just about creating iron mechanisms. It is a complex and rapidly developing science, at the intersection of engineering, programming, mathematics, physics, and even biology.

Robotics is the science and technology related to the development, production, and control of automated robotic machines that can perform tasks in place of or with humans.

Robot = "mechanics" (body) + "electronics" (brain) + "program" (thinking)

Modern robots are:

·         Industrial — in factories, logistics, construction

·         Service — vacuum cleaners, medical assistants, robot waiters

·         Educational — Lego Mindstorms, Arduino, robots for the Olympics

·         Scientific and military — drones, rovers, autonomous systems

In order for the robot to "live" and act, it combines several key systems.:

Robots free humans from monotonous or dangerous tasks: – in a factory, – in a mine, – in orbit, – in a disaster zone.

The development of robots requires high-precision technology and innovation — it pushes forward electronics, mechatronics, AI, and energy.

Robotics is a learning tool. Working with robots helps to develop:

· logical thinking,

· Teamwork,

· Programming skills,

· Interest in science.

 Research shows that children participating in robotics clubs are 30-40% more likely to choose STEM professions.

Robotics is not just the "iron hands" from the movies. It is a vibrant, relevant and powerful industry shaping the future: from schools and hospitals to factories and space. It requires an interdisciplinary approach, creativity, and a desire to change the world.

The future is not just about those who use robots. These are the ones who create them.
