Automated mechanisms are systems or devices that operate automatically without human intervention. They use technology, such as sensors and software, to perform tasks efficiently and accurately. Common examples include robots in manufacturing, self-driving cars, and smart home devices that adjust lighting or temperature based on user preferences. These mechanisms can enhance productivity and safety by reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing human error. They are widely used in various industries, including healthcare, transportation, and agriculture, to streamline processes and improve overall performance.
