Robotics is concerned with the study of those machines that can replace human beings in the execution of a task, as regards both physical activity and decision making. The goal of the introductory chapter is to point out the problems related to the use of robots in industrial applications, as well as the perspectives offered by advanced robotics. A classification of the most common mechanical structures of robot manipulators and mobile robots is presented.

Particulate based reinforced MMCs are attractive and much need materials because they exhibit good specific properties and can be produced by conventional metal working processes. Hence, they are being increasingly used in the automotive sectors and aircraft sectors. The applications of MMCs are well established in the space industry and they are now applied due to improved mechanical strength of various light weight components. The wide availability of natural fibre has encouraged the researchers to develop natural fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites. Global development depends on effective utilization of resources such as natural materials and its products. However, natural materials possess lower mechanical properties such as strength, flexibility, durability and so on. Hence, the natural fibres are combined with some of artificial materials to produce composites.

Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches. Mechanical engineering requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, design, structural analysis, and electricity. In addition to these core principles, mechanical engineers use tools such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product life-cycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and others.
