Today we're going to talk about robots! Robots are often seen as the technology of the future, but they are already present in the millions in the workplace, in our homes and soon on the road. We discuss the origins of robotics and their spread, and even look at some common control designs that have been implemented to make them more useful in the workplace. Robots are often seen as a threat or danger to society, and while there is certainly a tendency for malicious use, robots also have the potential to drastically improve the world.
