Semi-Automatic

Semi-automatic refers to a process or system that combines both automated and manual elements. In this context, it typically means that certain functions are performed automatically, while others still require human intervention. For example, in a semi-automatic firearm, the weapon automatically cycles after each shot, but the shooter must pull the trigger for each round fired. This concept can also apply to various technologies where some tasks are handled by machines, providing efficiency, while humans are needed for oversight, decision-making, or specific actions that require human judgment or creativity.
