Robotics implies an entity that can deal with certain real world conditions on its own. Robots are either autonomous (independent) or semi-autonomous. In most cases, they are semi-autonomous as they are controlled or directed in one way or another by systems or people. The term semi-autonomous implies that a machine can make decisions or navigate situations it encounters without help.
