LIVING WITH ROBOTS

FERDINAND J. SORIANO, MPS

The field of robotics combines engineering, science, and technology. The creation of intelligent machines is the main goal of robotics. The mechanical construction of the required structure is the first step in creating a robot. Electrical circuitry provides energy to this structure, which is then governed by computer code. These tools are employed in a variety of applications and are the ideal assisting hand. Robots are made expressly to lessen human labor. We now have access to several fully automated and practical equipment thanks to the advancement of technology. Robotic household helpers like lawnmower, vacuum, and culinary bots have shown to be quite useful. They make customers feel very comfortable and at ease by finishing the task at hand promptly and without difficulty. Artificial intelligence, a technique that enables these robots to exercise machine learning for better operation, supports them. Manufacturing products used to be a laborious process that needed a sizable crew. Every task was carried out manually in the past, making it challenging to control production speed. However, as technology advanced, many jobs that required physical labor were replaced by machines. One of the most well-known uses of robots is this. There are several benefits to using robots in the workplace, including accelerating output, lowering human error, preventing accidents, etc. In order to create high-tech cars, robots are widely used in the assembly of automotive components. Robotic arms are also used in situations where a task must be repeated, such as when wrapping brand labels or tightening nuts on bolts. Robots are used extensively in the defense industry as well as in adjacent fields like logistics and supply management, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, cyber operations, etc. These sophisticated tools are used to direct missiles, find snipers, scout out the hostile territory, etc. The most common robots utilized in military applications are surveillance bots. They are sturdy, adaptable, and compact. They are typically built with a security camera that records and notices the erratic behaviors and, if necessary, alerts the controller. Doctors may find robots to be a very useful tool. In a hospital, robotic equipment offers a three-dimensional perspective, ten times the size of the operating room, and devices that are more mobile than human hands. The medical industry demands high levels of accuracy and precision. Traditional surgeries are being replaced by robotic operations in the current day because robots are less prone to human errors like the surgical blade slipping from hands during an operation that could endanger the patient's life. Another legitimate use of technology in medicine is the replacement of a damaged or non-functional body part with a robotic body part. a person with a robotic arm, as an illustration. Many students are forced to abandon their studies after contracting disease-causing bacteria. A ill child is given the option of attending school remotely with the help of robots. Many autistic children find it difficult to talk to humans, so in these circumstances, a robot is seen to be quite helpful because it fosters a welcoming environment and helps the child interact and learn more effectively. The robotic delivery systems operate more quickly, more efficiently, and with less manual effort. The delivery robot has face recognition and object detection features that enable it to avoid barriers and deliver the package to the appropriate custodian. By transitioning from manual to robotic package delivery systems, Amazon and other comparable shopping websites have improved the quality of their services. Robots are advantageous because they can be utilized without restriction in hazardous environments and prevent the risk to human life. Generally, they are utilized in places that are difficult to access or that are prone to accidents and health risks. An region containing landmines, for instance, is dangerous for people to investigate; yet, if the same area is assessed with the aid of a dead robot, it is relatively safer and more pleasant.
