Robotics is the
study of robots or machines that can be used to do repetitive jobs.
Companies like Google, Amazon, McDonald's, Nike and Chipotle are exploiting the power of robotics to be competitive and reduce costs.
In future robots
are going to do our day to day work. Imagine if you can rent a robot for 1 hour
to do some shopping for you? Or like Drones it can go to the disaster sites to
help humans and can be controlled from the far distance to avoid any more human
injuries.
Healthcare &
process manufacturing like drugs, auto etc. are fastest growing industries for
robotics.
Today there is lot of concern about unemployment robots can bring. Still there are plenty of positive ways like Iron Man, that robots will help us. They can work in conditions hazardous to humans.
- Fanuc is largest industrial robots manufacturing company.
- Amazon is already using robots in their warehouse to move products to workers for further scanning and processing.
- Some of the bomb squads in USA use robots to dispose of the bombs to minimize the risk to human life.
- Roomba, the vacuum cleaner robot has been around for a while.
- NASA uses 3D printing robots to help do research.
- In farming robots are used for weed control, moving, pruning, seeding and spraying the crops.
Unlike in the
Terminator movies, robots are unable to think or make decisions; they are only
tools to help us get things done. Robots are machines with programmed movements
that allow them to move in certain directions or sequences. Artificial intelligence has given robots more ability to process information and to
“learn.”
This science is
in the early stages, but robots are being developed that can make decisions in
order to serve food, translate words from one language to another, and get
information from outside resources to solve problems.
The robotics market spend
is going to be in billions to help mankind.
It is really a nice article. Hats off to you. Would really like to know something more about the same. Take care. Thanks a million times.
