Optics, electro-optics, and lasers are significant fields and Israel produces [[fiber-optic]]s, [[electro-optics|electro-optic]] inspection systems for printed circuit boards, [[thermal imaging]] [[Night vision device|night-vision]] systems, and electro-optics-based robotic manufacturing systems. Research into [[robotics]] first began in the late 1970s, has resulted in the production of robots designed to perform a wide variety of [[computer aided manufacturing]] tasks, including diamond polishing, welding, packing, and building. Research is also conducted in the application of [[artificial intelligence]] to robots.
