Memory Alpha

Robotics was the study of robots (and by extension, Drones). A scientist involved in this field was called a robotics scientist. (TNG: "Datalore")

The subject of robotics was available for study by cadets at Starfleet Academy at least until the late 2360s. Cybernetics was a closely related field.

In 2365, Commander Bruce Maddox argued against allowing Data to resign his Starfleet commission, as it would "destroy years of work in robotics." (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man")

B'Elanna Torres learned about robotics while attending the Academy. She later found that these teachings paled in comparison to the experience she gained when repairing the systems of Automated Personnel Unit 3947 in 2372. (VOY: "Prototype")
