Its mostly all in Mathematics and Physics – thats why we call them mechanical robots

Robots are machines that supplement or enhance human activities. This can be achieved through what we call automation of activities. to automate something, you need to develop a computer programme that can will give it instructions. so be able to make robots therefore you need a good background in mathematics and physics which will give you entrance to engineering where robotics is done.
