THE FUTURE OF ROBOTICS

          THE FUTURE OF ROBOTICS AND ROBOTS

What Is Robotics?

Robotics is the branch of engineering and computer sciences where machines are built to perform programmed tasks without further human intervention.Robotics is the engineering branch that deals with the design ,conception, construction, application,operation and usage of robots. That’s a pretty broad definition and covers everything from a simple, mechanical arm that assembles cars, all the way to something out of science fiction like Wall-E or Amazon’s upcoming Astro ‘Alexa on wheels’ home robot.

Normally , robots don't have to resemble humans,but some robots do.Robots that apperas humans are referred as 'Androids'.A robot will happily do the same exhausting task over and over again each day. A human will get bored, fatigued or both and that’s when mistakes slip in.

What Role Will Robots Have in our Future?

Robotics will unquestionably have a dramatic impact on both our personal and professional lives. But in both instances, robotics can make our lives much easier by handling tasks we may not be able to do ourselves or support us when we need help doing tasks.

While it’s likely that robotics will make some careers obsolete and narrow the job market in certain sectors," The Researches has shown that Robotics will Actually  create more jobs" in the long run. Many of these new jobs will be in the IT industry, which is known to be "Future Proof" thanks to its continual evolution and reliance on forward-thinking professionals to continue driving it to new heights. By obtaining an IT degree and specializing in robotics, you’re creating an everlasting career path that challenges you as much as it rewards you for innovating your way into the future.

How Advances in Robotics Are Shaping the Future

In 2030, robots could be exploring alien worlds and performing surgeries from halfway around the globe. Robotics is one of the fastest evolving fields of technology, and it’s shaping the future of travel, work and exploration. Peripheral advancements in AI, computing and IoT are helping elevate things even further. Robotics holds some exciting innovations that will play a central role in daily life worldwide. 

 Are AI and  robotics  the same things? 

It may be obvious, but robotics and artificial intelligence are two very different disciplines.

While you can have robots with artificial intelligence, it’s equally possible for robotics to flourish without AI, and indeed most systems currently do.

Artificial intelligence is where systems emulate the human mind to learn, solve problems and make decisions on the fly, without needing the instructions specifically programmed. whereas ,Robotics is where robots are built and programmed to perform very specific duties.

In most cases, this simply doesn’t require artificial intelligence, as the tasks performed are predictable, repetitive and don’t need additional ‘thought’.

Examples of Robotics for Households

The most obvious example of robots for households using AI is Amazon upcoming Astro bot 

Essentially an Echo Show on wheels, the robot uses artificial intelligence to navigate autonomously around the home, acting as eyes and ears when you’re not around thanks to a periscope camera.

This isn’t entirely new, as robot vacuums can also navigate around furniture. But here, too, AI is playing a greater role.

Pros/Advantages :

1. The first and the foremost advantage of having robots in workplaces is their cost. Robots are much cheaper than humans and their cost is now decreasing.

2. It’s a fact that we cannot compare human abilities with robots but "robotic capabilities are now growing quickly". For example, if you run an essay writing service, you can use robots to perform every kind of research related to any subject.

Cons/Disadvantages :

1. Where robots are increasing the efficiency in many businesses, they are also increasing the unemployment rate. Because of robots, human labour is no longer required in many factories and manufacturing plants.

2. Robots can certainly handle their prescribed tasks, but they typically cannot handle unexpected situations.

Conclusion:-

Today we find most robots working for people in industries, factories, warehouses, and laboratories. Robots are useful in many ways. For instance, it boosts economy because businesses need to be efficient to keep up with the industry competition. Therefore, having robots helps business owners to be competitive, because robots can do jobs better and faster than humans can, e.g. robot can built, assemble a car. Yet robots cannot perform every job; today robots roles include assisting research and industry. Finally, as the technology improves, there will be new ways to use robots which will bring new hopes and new potentials.

“The Three Laws of Robotics:

1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm;

2: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law;

3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law;
