The branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing is robotics.
A robot is a machine especially one programmable by a computer capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may be embedded within. Robots may be constructed on the lines of the human form(humanoid bots), but most robots are machines designed to perform different types of tasks.
Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids.
Some robots of this century are:
Vyommitra:
Vyommitra is a female-looking spacefaring humanoid robot being developed by the Indian space research organization (ISRO) to function onboard the Gagayanyaan, a crewed orbital spacecraft. Vyommitra was first unveiled on 22 January 2020 at the Human Spaceflight and Exploration symposium in Bengaluru.
It will accompany Indian astronauts in space missions and will also be a part of uncrewed experimental Gaganyaan missions prior to the crewed spaceflight missions.

C-Astra is a semi-automatic robot that is also being used to fight coronavirus. It used UVC light to disinfect buildings and thermal cameras to record the temperature of the body.
JIVAKA:
Patient Care Mobile Robot With intelligent patient monitoring with two-way communication for seamless patient care, Jivaka assists doctors and nurses by reducing direct interaction with patients. Jivaka can be deployed at hospitals and dispensaries to assist in gathering healthcare data.
KP BOT:
The KP-Bot will be deployed to perform the duties of the front office of the police headquarters which means that it will receive visitors and direct them to different places as and when required.
