A Robot is a mechanical or virtual, artificial agent. It’s usually an electro-mechanical system by its appearance or movements. Robots convey a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. The word Robot can refer to both physical robots and virtual software agents, but the latter are often shortened to bots. 

Robotics is the science and technology of Robots, their design, manufacture, and application.
