Hi, i am a singapore student and i took robotics as a cca. To me i learnt quite a lot of stuff in robotics. Not only engineering part but also some soft skills. \nRobotics description: A excellent place for any one to work in and to learnt skills and in another hand, to gain alot of experience. You could also learnt how to build robots, to program it and a lot of mechanical skills. Not only playing with RCX, NXT and you can play with lego and metal robots.\nIf you learn robotics, you can gain experience and also be a engineer. However some competitions requires softskills and research so you can also learnt quite a lot of knowledge during the process.\nI am in a rush so i would not be able to answer the other 2 qn. sorry

Well, it depends on what part of robotics you would like to get into.\n\nRobots are essentially mechanical devices that are controlled by electrical components/processes.  If you want to be on the side of robotics that deals with the links, joints, etc. then mechanical might be the way to go.  Also, some industrial grade robots use hydraulic or pneumatic actuators to move (which I believe a ME major would know about).  Finally, ME majors touch on linear systems and control theory (needed to create high-end robotics).\n\nOn the other hand, robots are usually controlled by microprocessors and software.  Also, knowledge of linear systems and feedback control theory is very helpful when creating accurate or fast-moving robots.  Finally, electric motors and power supplies are often used for certain robot designs.  All these would be covered in an electrical or comptuter engineering major.\n\nSo, choose whichever you side you like.  I happen to be an EE, so my experience in my studies might make this view a bit skewed towards the EE side of robotics, but it is accurate to the best of my knowledge.\n\nOh, and look for a school that has an engineering team/club that designs robots (something like FIRST).  If you are really want to do robotics, that kind of experience would be invaluable.

You might want to look up some of the companies presenting at this symposium.\n\nhttps://www.aatcc.org/workshops/CAD_CAM_Symp.cfm

I had to check your other questions to figure out what you may be asking.  Machine code and assembly language are used to control machines and write hardware instructions and drivers.  There are sometimes software toolkits used relative to the hardware/OS environment you're working with.\n\nUsing C/C++, you can control machines through embedded systems.  It's quite prevalent for factory machines and robotics.  \n\nYou will find subject books by looking for the terms: embedded systems, machine code, assembly language.

Yes indeed.  The field is already sufficiently advanced to have many commercial applications, such as the "Tell Me" voice response systems on telephone menus, and speech-to-text software where you can speak into a microphone, and watch your words get typed into a word processing document by the program.  I've seen these work, and although they make some errors, especially the kind you'd expect (mixing up 'there', 'their' and 'they're', but then, so do humans) they really are pretty good.

There is an ooPic group in Yahoo where something is always going on and if you Google "oopic" you will find anything you want to know about hobby robots.

I think that referrs to the computur programs that mimic biological entities.\n\nFor example, programming many small robots to behave like ants is one (source 1).\n\nOr a computer program that models behavior of bacteria or another single celled organism. (source 2)\n\nIt might help to know what context it was written in, or where you hear it used.

you have to be really good at something about robots to do that. Doing that is quite advanced.

this might sound more like an advertisement..\n\nbut go to gorobotics.com and roboticsindia.com for some good stuff on robotics.

You can use nano-technology to have robot's teach themselves. This is true. But they will be teaching themselves things like, "Don't weld at that angle, too much splatter" or "There's an object there, don't vacuum there." Humans must limit the initial programming that is given to the robot. If you limit their logical rules to never try to rationalize ethical actions, there won't be any issues. I promise. (Yes, I know, "No takebacks!")

You should try reading "Flesh and Machines" by Rodney Brooks.  He does a nice cursory overview of the history of robotics and the implications on society of their existence.

Video games are the source of most of the pioneering work in AI, and continues to be the biggest developer.  However, one of the more exciting things would be to monitor highly complex systems more closely and more accurate than humans could do (like a nuke reactor, or a shuttle launch).  \n\nJust to name a few off the top of my head.

I dont know about that.\n\nBut there are AI softwares to recreate various\n human behavioural patterns.
