ROBOTICS Introduction Robotics is the branch of mechanical, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the pattern, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies are very useful and deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, and/or cognition.

He specifically aimed at refuting the functionalism claim that, just like people, machines with the ability to run programs are presumed to have consciousness and a brain. In Searle’s argument, he creates
