Click For Summary
The discussion highlights a perceived lack of dedicated threads on robotics within PhysicsForums, prompting a suggestion for a separate sub-forum specifically for robotics topics. Participants express uncertainty about where to post questions related to robotics theory, questioning whether PhysicsForums is suitable for such discussions. The conversation emphasizes that robotics encompasses both electrical and mechanical engineering, as robots are defined as electromechanical machines, integrating electrical systems and control theory with mechanical systems.

Hi,

I needed some help with robotics but, strangely, found only a small number of threads about robotics topics. I don't know the reason for this but I think it'd nice if PhysicsForums had a separate sub-forum for robotics. Anyway, which sub-forum should be used to post questions about robotics theory, or PhysicsForums is not for discussions about robotics theory. Thank you!

Robots are electromechanical (yes, that's a real word) machines. The electrical systems and control theory fit nicely into electrical engineering, the mechanical systems fit into mechanical engineering.
