robotics

The field of computer science and engineering concerned with creating robots. Robotics is a branch of artificial intelligence.

Historical perspective: By 2015 the development of AI and robots is  proceeding so rapidly that, according to robotics expert David Levy, he claims people will begin tohave sex with robots and by 2050, people will be having full-blown romantic relationships with them. It may seem grotesque to fall in love with a robot, but Levy says that for people with psychological problems or physical deformities, it could be a huge consolation as there are millions of people in the world who have nobody. Enter Sophia.
