Robotics as a scientific discipline deals with the control and development of robots in order to relieve humans and perform complex (partial) tasks automatically. For this purpose, it is necessary to establish a controlled cooperation between the robot mechanics and the robot electronics. Robotics is an interdisciplinary field, as it combines sub-fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science (especially with regard to artificial intelligence).
With the increasing degree of automation and the associated increase in the intelligence of autonomous robot systems, robot ethics is also coming more and more into focus. This field deals with philosophical questions that an intelligent system brings with it.
