Summary/Abstract: In a technologically advanced society focused on innovation and development of cutting-edge products, the future translator must have written and oral communication skills in the technical field in both Romanian and German. Recognizing the peculiarities of technical texts in a foreign language, consulting technical material written in a foreign language (reports, technical specifications, projects, specifications, etc.), developing the ability to use technical terminology in a foreign language are a must. Robots are an integral part of our everyday life. Whether they can help older people to maintain their mobility and independence for as long as possible, or whether they replace human labor in the automotive industry, or both at the same time, almost nothing is impossible anymore. Machines make a decisive contribution to maintaining the quality of life and thus they have also made room for themselves in everyday life. Their description, their components, their functionality is transferred to us humans, shape our actions and speech. The means they use, technology, industrialization and medicine, are to be explained in this article.
