Robotics      Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer science, which deals with the design, construction, operation, structure, manufacture, and application of robots.1​2​ Robotics combines various disciplines such as mechanics, electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence, control engineering and physics.3 Other important areas in robotics are algebra, programmable automata, animatronics and state machines, and is also used as a teaching aid.4 The term robot was popularized with the success of the work R.U.R. (Universal Robots Rossum), written by Karel Čapek in 1920. In the English translation of that work, the Czech word robota, which means forced labor or worker, was translated into English as robot.5 Advances in robotics have shown that there are robotic devices that can move and interact with their environment based on the enormous availability of precise sensors and high-performance motors, and the development...

Cybersecurity      Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attack. It is also known as information technology security or electronic information security. The term is applied in different contexts, from business to mobile computing, and can be divided into some common categories. Network security is the practice of protecting a computer  network from intruders, whether they are targeted  attackers or opportunistic malware.      Application security focuses on keeping software and devices free from thgeats. An affected application could provide access to the data it is intended to protect. Effective security begins at the design stage, long before a program or device is deployed. Information security protects the integrity and privacy of data, both in storage and in transit.
