Intelligent machines have the potential to improve people's lives. Combining robotics and artificial intelligence/machine learning creates robots that adapt to different situations. They improve their performance as they collect information from sensors, process that information to understand patterns, and make decisions based on those patterns.
This helps us create robots that can assist us in various tasks, from exploring space to helping with healthcare. It's a fascinating field that is constantly advancing and shaping the future of technology.
The Robotics Concentration is only for Electrical or Computer Engineering majors. Other majors can choose the Robotics Minor.
