Sensors allow robots to receive information about a certain measurement of the environment, or internal components

The mechanical structure of a robot must be controlled to perform tasks. The control of a robot involves three distinct phases – perception, processing, and action

Precision control is vital to the success of robotic systems, enabling robots to move in safe, effective, and predictable ways

Machine-learning techniques to model human behavior and develop new discovery, recognition, and planning technologies for intelligent machines

Interface and processing of communication between human and robots to command activities
