Robots perform tasks
that are inaccessibles to man. In industry and in particular, in
the automobile sector, they have revolutionized the
manufacturing process.Robots
have led to the conquest of space and the exploration of the ocean
depths.
Robots will soon be capable of assisting and replacing the actions of
the surgeon. They have already transformed our daily life, our
professional life and probably our civilization itself will
change drastically tomorrow.
Today's youth should be sensitive to the various possibilities
offered in this field as they will have to live, work with and
understand these machines.
A specialist in robotics should have
a general scientific background and multidisciplinary technical skills in:
Mechanical and electronics engineering,
computer sciences, physics, computer-aided manufacturing, management.
Learning robotics with the help of small robots is hence an ideal method to
initiate the young to these techniques and to awaken their curiosity in all
spheres of science.
