If you want to know how robots work behind the scenes and advancements like the Mars exploration rovers, self-driving cars, 无人机对你来说很令人兴奋, 学习机器人技术可能是你职业生涯的下一步.
What is Robotics?
科学与工程遇上计算机科学与人工智能
机器人技术是一个致力于设计的工程领域, producing, operating, and improving robots — intelligent machines with human capabilities or characteristics. 机器人程序包括几个学科:机械, electrical, computer, 工业与制造工程, computer science, system design, and data analysis. As a robotics student, 你还将学习计算机视觉, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality.
Robotics is creating new possibilities across industries and fields: they are essential components of assembly lines, 他们在战斗中帮助保护军事人员, 他们甚至协助手术. Robots are found harvesting crops, automating warehouses, and performing search-and-rescue missions. While early robots had mostly repetitive applications and were primarily limited to manufacturing within the automotive industry, today’s sophisticated robots are more autonomous and can assist in foodservice and transportation. 例如，达美乐和Nuro最近测试了一个 自动驾驶披萨外卖机器人.
