Automation is the use of machines or systems to perform tasks with little or no human input. It is used in many industries and technologies. Automation helps carry out repeated or complex tasks.

Factories use automated machines to assemble products, and some vehicles use automated systems to assist driving. Digital systems can also automate tasks such as sorting emails or processing information. These systems are designed for efficiency and consistency.

Automation is applied in manufacturing, services, and technology. It is part of modern engineering and production systems.
