Robotics is a branch of information technology which includes computers, robots and computers, which currently deals with systems composed of mechanical parts automatic and controlled by integrated circuits, making mechanical motor controlled manually or automatically by electrical circuits. The machines can be said to be alive, but at the same time are an imitation of life, no more wires together and mechanisms, all together it conceives a Robot. More and more people use the robots to their tasks. Soon, everything can be controlled by robots. Robots are just machines, no dream or feel much less get tired. This technology, now adopted by many factories and industries, has had a generally successful on questions raised about the cost savings, increased productivity and the various labor problems with employees.

The term robot was first used by the Czech Karel Capek (1890-1938) in a play – RUR (Rossum’s Universal Robots) – premiered in January 1921 . Robotics The term was popularized by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in his fiction, “I, Robot”, 1950. In this same book, Asimov created laws, which he said would govern the robots in the future: Laws of Robotics:

- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow harm happen to you.
- A robot must obey human orders except when they contradict the First Law.
- A robot must protect its physical integrity, since, with it, does not contravene the First and Second laws.

The idea of ​​building robots began to take power in the early twentieth century with the need to increase productivity and improve product quality. It is at this time that the industrial robot found its first applications, the father of industrial robotics was George Devol. Currently, due to the many resources that offer us microcomputer systems, robotics through a season that will allow continued growth in a short time, the development of intelligent robots and making a fiction of the old man becomes the reality of man current.

Robotics has enabled companies to reduce costs with the working class and a significant increase in production. The country that has invested in robotic automation of industrial activities is Japan, an example can be seen on Toyota

But there is a downside to all this. While robotics benefits the companies by reducing costs and streamlining processes, it creates the structural unemployment, which is not one that generated by economic crisis, but by the replacement of human labor by machines.

It is noteworthy that there are some branches of robotics that generate positive social impact. When a robot is actually a tool to preserve the human being, like robots firefighters, submarines, surgeons, among other types. The robot can help re-integrate some professional who had part of their limited motor skills due to illness or accident, and from using the tool to be reinstated to the robotics market. In addition, these tools allow life to be preserved by the operator.

Robotics is used in several areas. We can cite for example: Nanotechnology (for the construction of nano-robots to perform operations on humans without anesthesia), industrial production (robots that are created for development and production of goods) and advanced productions as “dummies “made for transcription of car crashes, so-called” crash tests “.
