What is machinic?

Machinic refers to the field or study of machinery, or machines, and their functioning. The term is often used in relation to automation and robotics, as well as other aspects of modern industrial and technological systems. Machinic design involves the development of machines that are efficient, reliable, and cost-effective, and that can perform a wide range of tasks, from manufacturing to transportation to communication. In addition to physical machines, machinic systems also involve software and algorithms that control and coordinate their operation. The field of machinic thus intersects with areas such as mechatronics, computer science, and artificial intelligence, and is central to many aspects of modern life and economy.
