Robotics – Robot Technology
Robotics combines mechanics, electronics, sensors, software and artificial intelligence to create machines that can interact with the physical world.
Robotik verbindet Mechanik, Elektronik, Sensoren, Software und künstliche Intelligenz, um Maschinen zu schaffen, die mit der physischen Welt interagieren können.
Robots can move objects, assemble products, inspect machines, transport goods, assist doctors and perform tasks in places that are difficult or dangerous for humans.
Roboter können Objekte bewegen, Produkte montieren, Maschinen überprüfen, Waren transportieren, Ärzte unterstützen und Aufgaben an Orten ausführen, die für Menschen schwierig oder gefährlich sind.
Modern robots are also becoming more flexible as better sensors and artificial intelligence allow them to understand their environment and adapt their behaviour.
Moderne Roboter werden außerdem flexibler, da bessere Sensoren und künstliche Intelligenz es ihnen ermöglichen, ihre Umgebung zu verstehen und ihr Verhalten anzupassen.

What Can You Learn About Robotics?
A robot is much more than a machine that moves automatically.
Ein Roboter ist viel mehr als eine Maschine, die sich automatisch bewegt.
A modern robot needs a physical structure, motors or other actuators, sensors, a control system and software that tells the machine how to respond to information.
Ein moderner Roboter benötigt eine physische Struktur, Motoren oder andere Aktoren, Sensoren, ein Steuerungssystem und Software, die der Maschine sagt, wie sie auf Informationen reagieren soll.
Robotics is therefore an excellent subject for learning technical English because it connects engineering, electronics, automation, computer science and artificial intelligence.
Robotik eignet sich daher hervorragend zum Lernen von technischem Englisch, weil sie Maschinenbau, Elektronik, Automatisierung, Informatik und künstliche Intelligenz miteinander verbindet.
