The Robotic Industry

Background

The human mind has always made enormous advances in learning new things from the beginning of time. Every part of the human body now has a very good understanding of its own function because to man's scientific advancements. Science of today teaches us that the human heart lacks the capacity to desire anything and The brain is the area of the human body that is responsible for all of our desire and diswanting. Man has created a wide variety of new things with the help of this brain, and this process is continuously ongoing. Using the same creative approach, man has advanced science through numerous inventions since the Stone Age till todate. Particularly in the last century, he has achieved great feats in the development of inventions like aeroplanes, mobile phones, computers and robots etc. Today we will focus on one of the best and most famous inventions in the world which is a robot۔

An electromechanical device called a robot is made to help with the duties or activities for which it was programmed. In our childhood days, our ancestors used to tell us stories based on concepts that, at the time, were impractical and hypothetical. However, thanks to scientific advancements, those stories have become reality. One of these stories predicted the creation of a machine that, given the identical instructions, would function just as efficiently and rapidly as a human. At the time, everything looked to be a dream, but scientific advancement has since shown it to be true. This device is today referred to as a robot. Every element of human existence, including health, education, agriculture, etc., has benefited greatly from the use of robots.

Introduction

The term "robot" evokes a wide range of images, including the Star Wars characters R2D2 and C3PO, humanoid machines that serve their creators (possibly in the form of the cooking and cleaning robot Rosie from the hit animated series The Jetsons), and the Rover Sojourner, which travelled to Mars as part of the Mars Pathfinder mission. Robots may also be seen as risky technological innovations that will eventually lead to the extinction of the human race, either by outsmarting or outpacing us and conquering the globe, or by making us wholly reliant on technology, causing us to passively sit by and programmed robots to perform all of our work. In actuality, a play contained the first usage of the word "robot." Another word that was created by a writer is "robotics.". The term was originally used in 1942 by Russian-born American science fiction author Isaac Asimov in his short tale "Runabout." Asimov held a far more positive and upbeat view of the robot's place in human civilization than did Capek. In his short stories, he typically portrayed robots as helpful human servants and thought of them as "a better, cleaner species." Additionally, Asimov established three ".

Egyptian water clocks from around 3000 B.C. were among the first examples of mechanical devices intended to perform a specific physical activity on a regular basis. The pulley was created by Archytus of Taremtum. inventions were at their relative pinnacle in the 1700s, when innumerable brilliant but useless automata (robots) were produced. The 19th century also saw the development of many new robotic devices, such as Thomas Edison's talking doll and a Canadian steam-powered robot. 

The first modern robot

George C. Devol, a Louisville, Kentucky-based inventor, built the first robots as we know them in the early 1950s. He created and received a patent for a manipulator that can be programmed, known as "Unimate" from "Universal Automation." He tried unsuccessfully for the following ten years to market his goods in the sector. He subsequently established Unimation as a business to create and market the robots. Compared to the original Unimate, which was created for specialised, industrial uses, Shakey was much more advanced.

Laws of Robots

There are main three Laws of Robots including:
Law 1: It states that no robot shall harm a person or, by doing nothing, let a person to be harmed. 
Law 2: A robot must follow instructions provided to it by people unless doing so would violate the First.
Law 3:If it does not go against the first and second law, the robot has to protect its existenceSecond Law.

Types of Roboots

To effectively complete the purpose for which they were created, mechanical bots come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Each robot is unique in terms of its design, purpose, and level of autonomy. Robots are being developed to perform activities that humans can't, ranging in size from the 0.2 millimeter-long "RoboBee" to the 200 meter-long robotic freight vessel "Vindskip." There are typically five main categories of robots:

1. Pre-programmed Robots

Pre-programmed robots carry out routine, easy duties in a controlled setting..

2. Humanoid robots

Humanoid robots are those that mimic human behavior or look like people. These robots typically carry out the actions associated with humans (such as running jumping, and carrying goods), and occasionally they are created to resemble us, down to having human faces and expressions. 

3. Autonomous Robots

Robots with autonomy work without human supervision. These robots are typically made to complete duties in public spaces without human supervision.

4. Teleoperated Robots

Semi-autonomous robots that can be controlled by humans from a safe distance are known as teleoperated robots. These robots generally work in challenging environments with challenging weather, topography, and other conditions.

5. Augmenting Robots

Robotic augmentation either improves human talents already present or replaces lost human abilities. Science fiction could soon become reality in the realm of robotics for human enhancement, where robots with the power to make people faster and stronger could completely rewrite what it means to be human.

The main parts of a Robots

Robots are made to serve a variety of functions and to address a wide range of human needs. The robot is constructed from several parts. These are the five general categories into which robotics parts can be divided.

1. Control system

2. Sensors

3. Actuators

4. Power Supply

5. End Effectors

Robot's Usage in Everyday Life 

Most people believe that robots are artificial beings with characteristics that mimic those of living things, including imitation, flexibility, obedience, understanding, interacting with emotions, and developing their capabilities. Let's examine the assistance provided in the fields. Household 

Robots assist with domestic chores including cooking, mowing the lawn, petting dogs, picking up toys, or vacuuming while also alleviating human labour and acting as a useful helper to complete tasks efficiently.

Industrial Work Robots

They can take the place of humans in hazardous jobs, which eliminates the need for a workforce in an industrial setting. They offer benefits including enhanced productivity and speed, decreased human error, preventing accidents, and assembling heavy parts to create high-tech machines.

Health 

Medical science has been revolutionised by robots. Hospital robotic equipment can increase the surgical area's size by 10 times and provide a 3D vision. Another development in robotics technology is the use of a robotic arm to replace a human arm that has been damaged. This shows how effective robot can be. Now a days, surgeons undertake robotic surgery in many different nations. 

Education 

Like other disciplines, education has benefited from the use of robots. Robot performed a significant role by supporting the teaching staff in online classes during the worst COVID-19 era. By providing hints and educational courses, robot also assisted the teaching staff of students with mental disorders like autism. Defense and security

It assists in arming and disarming explosives for the Army, closely observes all enemy activities, and informs their forces of all enemy movement information. Monitoring those who live close to your home aids in surveillance. It aids in remote monitoring of the heavens, earth, and water.

Automated Transportation

The introduction of self-driving cars by Audi, Mercedes, and Google recently made the transfer of goods and raw materials incredibly simple and the advancement of autonomous self-driving vehicles has made modern robotic automobiles effective and risk-free. Self-driving robots are not autonomous vehicles; rather, they are robots with artificial intelligence that were included into the design of the vehicle. 

Statistics on the use of robots

Three million Industrial robots were working in 2021 globally..

In 2025, the global market for military robotics will be worth $16.5 billion.

Around 150,000 individuals are already employed globally in engineering and assembly roles within the robotics business.

There were 435,000 robotic units sold in 2021.

Shipments of robots would rise by 12 percent globally between 2020 and 2022.

By 2025, sales of collaborative robots (cobots) will account for 34% of all robot sales.

Around the world, 88 percent of organisations intend to integrate robotic automation into their infrastructure into their infrastructure.

Robotics orders from businesses in North America increased by 32% in 2021.

Conclusion

With all of the aforementioned information for robotics in our daily lives, it has made routine jobs simple and convenient to complete, saving human energy and effort while occasionally lowering human errors and ignorance.
