Robotics, Cybernetics, and Artificial Intelligence

The difference between robotics cybernetics and artificial intelligence is that robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback and information processing. cybernetics is an approach for exploring regulatory systems, their structures, constraints, and possibilities. artificial intelligence is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software.

what type of energy do they use?

robotics- batteries

cybernetics- batteries, etc

artificial intelligence- voltage
