We already have a robot article, so this robotics one needs to be about robotics as the field of human study, employment, and research rather than the robots themselves. Made some edits and moved some content about robots themselves over there. Likewise, some of the content from robot which concerns the human field could be moved over here too.

I was wondering if reference should be made to the subject of mechatronics in the initial description where the related sciences are listed? I debated just adding it to the list but don't know if it can be listed as a science. I will leave the judgement to the regular editors of this article. Slink pink ( talk) 16:28, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

User Danim removed a link to Plastic Pals, an English website with a comprehensive listing of more than 450 robots. It is far more educational than Razor Robotics, which was allowed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamsSSessions ( talk • contribs) 02:38, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Well Plastic Pals has articles on more than 450 robots last I checked, most of them are humanoid, which is why I placed the link on the pages for Humanoid and Humanoid robot. Yes I placed them in a short time frame, because I feel they are highly relevant to anyone interested in them. Instead of treating links as spam maybe you should actually look at the content of the linked web page and make a decision based on that? -- WilliamsSSessions ( talk) 13:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps stelarc should be mentioned, see http://stelarc.org/?catID=20247
Perhaps the Mae-robot/LTLMoP can be mentioned ? It seems to be made based on the NAO robot. See http://www.azorobotics.com/News.aspx?newsID=2270 91.182.116.161 ( talk) 08:37, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
This article has had a swathe of new editors making ungrammatical and tonally inappropriate edits ("as we all know,the idea of robots will go back to ancient times of over 3000 years ago in India’s legend of mechanical elephants") over the past couple of days. Is this a school assignment whose teacher was unaware of the WP:INSTRUCTORS guideline? -- McGeddon ( talk) 11:25, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
The teacher User:Ollydbg has now left a message on my talk page apologising and suggesting that the article be reverted to what they see as the last good version, prior to the first student edit. I've gone ahead and done this. -- McGeddon ( talk) 17:47, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified 2 external links on Robotics. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Under the heading "Robotic aspects", it lists three basic similarities shared by all robots. This is accompanied by a photograph of a WWII tank track and bogie mechanism bearing the caption "robotic construction". In my opinion, this is both poorly conceptualized and poorly expressed. If the objective is to express that robots typically have mechanical and electrical components, why is so much focus being placed upon a purely mechanical system such as a tank track? And labeling the photograph "robotic construction" is absurd; it is neither robotic, nor was it constructed by robots, nor does it depict a construction comprised of robots. Then there's the fact that the vast majority of robots today do not use a Caterpillar-type locomotion; most are stationary, and those that are mobile are predominantly wheeled. I think that this section needs to be thought-out more fully to find an example that is relevant to robotic technology, rather than century-old tractor technology. Bricology ( talk) 08:53, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
Most robots in use today have no means of following these laws, or prioritize them differently. For example, many industrial robots will crush a human if they get in the way, or crush another person if instructed by a human operator, so they are constructed with safety fencing to keep this from happening. They may or may not damage themselves in response to human commands depending on what safeguards have been put in by the manufacturer. The laws in the way Asimov was thinking about them generally only apply to robots powered by artificial intelligence, and are more relevant to writing fiction than modern robot design. I'm pretty sure they don't belong in the intro, but there also doesn't seem like a more appropriate section, so I was thinking of just removing mention entirely, except for maybe a "See also" link? Any thoughts? -- Beland ( talk) 01:16, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
The photo of the SCORBOT-ER 4u educational robot has got to go. Due to the angle of the photo, it looks as if the robot is injecting something into someone's neck. And the person is even reaching back and grabbing at his upper back. What a disastrous photo!
Alot of people love robotics and many think that robots will take over the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:7F8C:D200:F81F:6E25:2B07:7F1B ( talk) 21:34, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
The paragraph:
Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots. This field overlaps with electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence, mechatronics, nanotechnology and bioengineering.[3]
Seems to be just saying what is said in the very first paragraph of the article with another words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.195.182.198 ( talk) 15:30, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi
A recent edit changed the very definition of "robotics".
Can we please remember we have to stick to the most widely adccepted definotions, and any such major change would need consensus.
I do not agree, so it has not, and I suspect others will also agree it is not a good definition.
Why? Because definitions should define things, not make them more word-salad that no one understands, and is incomprehensibly indirect. Chaosdruid ( talk) 23:52, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
