'''Adaptable Robotics''' refers to a field of [[robotics]] with a focus on creating robotic systems capable of adjusting their hardware and software components to perform a wide range of tasks while adapting to varying environments. The 1960s introduced robotics into the industrial field.<ref name=":02">P. Thomson, “An Exhaustive History of Robotics,” G2, Aug. 30, 2019. <nowiki>https://www.g2.com/articles/history-of-robots</nowiki> (accessed Oct. 30, 2023).</ref> Since then, the need to make robots with new forms of [[Actuator|actuation]], adaptability, [[Peripheral|sensing and perception]], and even the [[Artificial intelligence|ability to learn]] stemmed the field of adaptable robotics. Significant developments such as the PUMA robot, manipulation research, [[soft robotics]], [[swarm robotics]], [[Artificial intelligence|AI]], [[Cobot|cobots]], bio-inspired approaches, and more ongoing research have advanced the adaptable robotics field tremendously. Adaptable robots are usually associated with their [[Robot kit|development kit]], typically used to create autonomous mobile robots. In some cases, an adaptable kit will still be functional even when certain components break.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2015-05-27 |title=Adaptable robots 'on their way' to the home |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-32884768 |access-date=2023-11-09}}</ref>
Adaptable robotics systems successfully adapt to their environment using techniques such as [[modular design]], [[machine learning]], and [[sensor]] feedback. Using this, they have revolutionized various industries and can address many real-world challenges in the [[medical]], [[Manufacturing|industrial]], extraterrestrial, and [[Experiment|experimental]] fields. There are still many challenges to overcome in adaptable robotics, which presents opportunities for growth in the field.
