So what is Robotics?
Industrial robot commonly known as PUMA classification.
DEFINITION.
The Real Academia Española defines robotics as:
"La robótica es la técnica que aplica la informática al diseño y empleo de aparatos que, en sustitución de personas, realizan operaciones o trabajos, por lo general en instalaciones industriales."
Translation: "Robotics is the technique that applies informatics to the design and implementation of devices that substitute people doing operations or jobs, usually with industrial purposes."
The Robotics Institute of America (RIA, Instituto de Robótica de América) defines robotics as: "Programmable manipulator designed to move materials, parts, tools or specialized devices through variable programmed movements to perform a wide variety of tasks.".

BASIC CONCEPTS.
A robot is a functional reprogrammable manipulator with the capabilities to move material, pieces, tools or specialized devices through variable programmed movements with the goal of performing a varied set of tasks. In order to be a robot it must possess at least three things:
They are classified in the following two categories:
Robotics is a multidisciplinary science that combines a wide range of disciplines like: mechanics, electronics, artificial intelligence, control engineering, physics, psychology, neurology, etc.
The term robot comes from the Czech word "robota" which means "obligatory work" used for the first time in the play Rossum's Universal Robots (R.U.R.) from the Czech writer and playwrighter Karel Capek in 1921.
