4. Life Science Research 01

5. Life science research consists of all sciences that involve the scientific study of living organisms and their life processes . 

6. Life science research consists of all sciences that involve the scientific study of living organisms and their life processes . 

7. Covering a wide array of subjects from genetics and microbiology to botany and astrobiology, new breakthroughs are happening daily all over the world. The study of life science leads to a better understanding of life’s molecular building blocks, disease processes, and allows for the development of new medical devices and therapeutics, thereby increasing human health. 

8. They also allow for new insights into the environment, climate, and animal and plant life, guiding our efforts in conservation , preservation , and animal welfare .

10. Physical Science Research 02

11. Physical science research consists of all sciences that deals with the systematic study of the inorganic world, as distinct from the study of the organic world, which is the province of biological  science . 

12. Physical science is ordinarily thought of as consisting of four broad areas:  astronomy ,  physics ,  chemistry , and the  Earth sciences . Each of these is in turn divided into fields and subfields.

13. Robotics 03

14. Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of  robots . The objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways.

15. Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that involves the conception , design, manufacture, and operation of  robots . The objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways.

16. Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that involves the conception , design , manufacture, and operation of  robots . The objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways.

17. Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that involves the conception , design , manufacture, and operation of  robots . The objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways.

18. Robotics is a branch of engineering and computer science that involves the conception , design , manufacture, and operation of  robots . The objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways.

19. Robotics can take on a number of forms. A robot might resemble a human or be in the form of a robotic application, such as  robotic process automation , which simulates how humans engage with software to perform repetitive, rules-based tasks.

20. The early history of robotics : The term  robotics  is an extension of the word  robot . One of its first uses came from Czech writer Karel Čapek, who used the word in his 1920 play,  Rossum's Universal Robots .

21. However, in the 1940s, the Oxford English Dictionary credited science fiction author Isaac Asimov for being the first person to use the term. In Asimov's story, he suggested three principles to guide the behavior of autonomous robots and smart machines: 1. Robots must never harm human beings. 2. Robots must follow instructions from humans without violating rule 1. 3. Robots must protect themselves without violating the other rules.

22. Today, industrial robots, as well as many other types of robots, are used to perform repetitive tasks. They can take the form of a robotic arm, a collaborative robot (cobot), a robotic exoskeleton or traditional humanoid robots.

23. Computational Science 04

24. Computational Science is a branch of study that deals with using computing systems to apply mathematical models, with the purpose of describing and solving natural systems and ultimately finding answers to scientific problems.

25. As mentioned earlier , mathematical models have the capability to describe any natural system. With computers, understanding, processing, and simulating these behaviors using mathematical models become easier than by human capability alone. The increasing and ever-advancing capabilities of today’s computers are what makes computational science possible and practical.

26. Computational science is often thought of as an integration of three disciplines: Mathematics ,  Computer Science , and Science . Here the word science describes both the theoretical and experimental part of science– in most cases a particular b ranch of science.
