Topic 1:
Definition of Robotics: Type of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. This technology allows us to deal with hazardous problems without putting ourselves in danger. For example, N.A.S.A uses robotics to safely explore space without having to send a real person. Robots are also used in a variety of other ways too, like doing things that we usually do like vacuuming. We probably are too busy to do this, so the robots can do it.

Topic 2:
Types of Robotics:
Pre-programmed robots operate in a simple, controlled environment so that they do not require a great deal in the way of intelligent control systems ("artificial intelligence") to operate successfully.
· Autonomous robots operate independently of human operators in environments that are not as tightly controlled as pre-programmed robots. They have "autonomy" because it is ultimately the machine's responsibility to detect changes in the environment and to adapt to it.
· Teleoperated robots are controlled remotely by a human being. The underwater robots that helped fix the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico were teleoperated.
· Augmented robots are connected directly to the human user's body, either by the user gripping the controls in their hand or by having it in contact with the user's body in some other way. Movements of the users’ body (sometimes it is only the mental activity of the user's brain) ultimately control a robotic effector of some kind.

content requirement: B. What are the effects of your issue/topic on individuals,
businesses, government, etc?
Robotics help businesses, organizations, companies, or government organizations by doing things more efficiently or doing jobs that the ordinary human worker cannot accomplish. But, while there are many positive effects of robotics, these robots
sometimes take jobs that humans normally do, because it is cheaper than hiring a person.
