Just the names.
Automation is a larger context. Robotics could be sub set of automation. Automation exists with or with out robotics.
It is often referred to as either "robotics" or "automation".
Nothing! Animatronics is Biomorphic Robotics.
Automation refers to the use of technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. It involves software, hardware, or a combination of both to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and reduce errors. Automation can be as simple as a rule-based script performing repetitive data entry or as complex as AI-driven document processing. Robotics, on the other hand, is a subset of automation that involves the use of physical machines (robots) to perform tasks traditionally done by humans. Robotics typically involves hardware equipped with sensors, actuators, and AI to interact with the physical environment. Key Differences: Scope: Automation applies to both digital (software automation) and physical (mechanical) processes. Robotics specifically refers to machines performing physical tasks. Form: Automation can exist purely as software (e.g., robotic process automation, RPA). Robotics involves tangible machines performing physical actions (e.g., robotic arms in manufacturing). Use Cases: Automation: Data processing, customer service chatbots, AI-powered document processing. Robotics: Industrial robots, autonomous vehicles, robotic surgery. Human Interaction: Automation may require some human supervision for handling exceptions. Robotics often involves autonomous machines but may still need programming and oversight. Technology Involved: Automation relies on AI, machine learning, and rule-based workflows. Robotics incorporates sensors, actuators, and mechanical components, often combined with AI for intelligence. Conclusion: While all robotics involves automation, not all automation involves robotics. Robotics is a specialized form of automation that deals with physical tasks, while automation broadly applies to both digital and mechanical processes.

robots are artificial devices that replicates human work while robotics an art of how to develop a robot.
Robotics generally refers to things created of a size that is visible by the human eye. Nanotechnology on the other hand, refers to things created that are microscopic.
Computerization refers to the process of converting manual processes and tasks into digital formats using computers, enhancing efficiency and data management. Automation, on the other hand, involves using technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention, often including computerization as a component but extending to various technologies, such as robotics or software systems. While computerization focuses on digitizing information and processes, automation emphasizes the execution of tasks automatically.
