The branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing is known as robotics.
This discipline applies scientific, computer, electrical and mechanical engineering to create a machine that can be, usually, programmed to undertake and perform often complex tasks automatically.
As robot technology has developed over the last thirty years, we are experiencing a greater demand for the technology to be integrated into the automated material handling and logistics sector driving cost saving and greater supply chain efficiencies. Repetitive tasks that were once labour intensive can now be completed in a fraction of the time and accurately every single time.
