• Applications – There are creative uses of robots all around us in fields such as:

• Space exploration
• Undersea mapping
• Manufacturing
• Medicine
• Navigation
• Military applications

• Communicate with external devices – A robot is little more than a specialized computer used to read input devices (sensors) and to control output devices (motors, relays, servos, lights, sirens, etc.) It is challenging and fun to use computers to accomplish tasks and the applications are unlimited.

• Common usage – A large number of introductory engineering courses around the country include robotics projects. Students are also commonly involved in robotics-based team competitions, such as the FIRST Robotics Competition or the Sumo Bot Competition. Additionally, later engineering courses deal with more advanced robot control and applications.
