Robotics has fascinated me for the longest time. So much so that four years 7 years ago I switched my field to robotics and then went into research a while ago. Although robotics capture the fancy of many but few understand the simplicity (and the daunting complexity at the same time) that goes into designing a machine of such caliber.

Automated processes have been a part of our lives for so long that we forget that robotics and automation go hand in hand and even marge at some points of application. From our cars to underground railways, the applications are there and functioning to make iyr daily lives easier.

From Military, industrial to medical advancements - robotics is now an integral part of them all. One of the more interesting applications is the food industry - and like a lot of other production lines, they too have a deep involvement of automated processes.

On the other hand a I have never eaten a pizza made by a manipulator (robotics arm) and would love to have some :-)
