Robotics

Robotics integrates sensing, planning, and actuation so machines can interact with the physical world.

Building machines that perceive and act in real environments.

Robotics integrates sensing, planning, and actuation. Learning methods (including imitation and RL) increasingly complement classical control and motion planning.

Physical automation differs from pure software AI. Buyers evaluate safety, reliability, and integration with industrial environments.

• Warehouse and logistics robots
• Industrial manipulators
• Inspection and mobile robots

• Automates physical repetitive work
• Can improve consistency in structured environments

• Sim-to-real gaps
• Safety certification and environment constraints

• Humanoid demos are not the same as deployed industrial robots

Is every robotics company an AI company?

Brel tags Robotics when learning/perception AI is a disclosed core capability, not only scripted automation.

• NIST Robotics

• Classical robotics textbooks and modern learning-for-control surveys
