Automation

Automation is when machines do tasks that used to be done by people. There are lots of different types of machines used for automation. Some examples are robots in factories that make things, computers that can help us do things quickly and accurately, and self-driving cars. Automation makes it so we don't have to do certain tasks over and over again, and can make the tasks faster and even more accurate than a human can.
