Welcome

Robotics is an area which has a significant amount of potential to change the way we live and work. Even today robots play an important role by performing tasks which would be dangerous or monotonous for humans. In this blog I would like to explore some of the ways that robotics is currently being used to help people, what work is being done and obstacles that need to be overcome.

Starting out, I'm going to focus on how robotics could help people directly. This would include things like advanced prosthetics, robot assisted surgery and robots used in daily life. The application of robotics on this level is for the most part very new and limited. One of the few and probably most well known examples is the Roomba, which is a robotic vacuum cleaner.
