**First, a short introduction on Robotics and Robots.

Robotics is the engineering science and technology of robots, and their design, manufacture, and application. Robots can either help or take away human jobs[1] Robotics is related to electronics, mechanics, and software.[2] The word robot was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), published in 1920.

Robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial agent. In practice, it is usually an electro-mechanical machine which is guided by computer or electronic programming, and is thus able to do tasks on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.
