Robots in Exploration

Introduction to robots in explorations      “A robot is defined as a self-controlled device consisting of a combination of electronic, electrical or mechanical units that can function in place of a living agent.”                Exploration Robotics is a field where mobile robots are deployed into natural or artificial situations where humans are unable to go to collect useful data and, in some cases, execute physical activities. It is basically concerned with the utilization of a robot to enhance knowledge over a specific region.  Defense and Security, Search and Rescue, Archaeology, Environmental monitoring, nuclear decommissioning, Space exploration, and the Oil and Gas sector are just a few of the many situations and applications where exploration robotics has the potential to impact a lot.
