Approach
Hardware,
in the computer world, refers to the physical
components that make up a computer system. Like body of
computers, designs, working capabilities, etc.
Robotics

is the branch of technology that deals with the
construction,
operation,
structural
disposition, manufacture and application of robots and
computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and
information processing.

Aristotle’s Idea, The Greek philosopher Aristotle imagines the great utility
of robots, writing, "If every tool, when ordered, or even of its own
accord, could do the work that befits it … then there would be no need
either of apprentices for the master workers or of slaves for the lords.“[
