## Summary
Robotics engineering is the branch of [[Engineering|engineering]] focused on the design, construction, and operation of robots and automated systems. It integrates mechanical, electrical, control, software, and artificial-intelligence engineering to create machines that can sense, decide, and act, often autonomously. Core topics include kinematics and dynamics, actuators and sensors, embedded control systems, and the software that coordinates perception and motion. Because a robot is itself a tightly coupled multi-domain [[System|system]], robotics engineering is inherently interdisciplinary.
## Key points
- Integrates mechanical, electrical, control, software, and AI engineering
- Covers kinematics, dynamics, actuators, and sensing
- Relies on embedded control systems and real-time software
- Combines perception, [[Decision-making|decision-making]], and motion control
- Inherently interdisciplinary, since a robot is a coupled multi-domain system
## Relation to Systems Engineering
Robotics engineering is essentially applied systems engineering: it requires the integration of many disciplines into a single coordinated machine, exactly the orchestration problem systems engineering addresses.
