Robotikou

Robotikou is a term used in Greek-speaking contexts to refer to robotics, the interdisciplinary field concerned with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The word derives from the Greek ρομποτική (rompotikí), formed from ρομπότ (robot) and the suffix -ική (-ikí) indicating a branch of study.

Scope and key subfields include mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science, and cognitive science. Core topics cover robot kinematics and dynamics, sensing and perception, planning and control, manipulation, and human-robot interaction. Research in robotikou also addresses ethics, safety, and regulatory aspects of robotic systems.

Applications span manufacturing and automation, healthcare and surgery, service robots for homes and workplaces, autonomous vehicles and drones, agriculture, logistics, and exploratory or hazardous environments.

Academic and industry activity: Greek universities and research centers contribute through laboratories, theses, and startups; international collaboration and standardization efforts shape development. As a field, robotikou aligns with broader trends in artificial intelligence, mechatronics, and automation.
