ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are
programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The term may also be applied to any
machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving.

The ideal characteristic of artificial intelligence is its ability to rationalize and take actions that have
the best chance of achieving a specific goal. A subset of artificial intelligence is machine learning
(ML), which refers to the concept that computer programs can automatically learn from and adapt
to new data without being assisted by humans. Deep learning techniques enable this automatic
learning through the absorption of huge amounts of unstructured data such as text, images, or
video.
 Benefits of AI

• AI drives down the time taken to perform a task. It enables multi-tasking and eases the
workload for existing resources.
• AI enables the execution of hitherto complex tasks without significant cost outlays.
• AI operates 24x7 without interruption or breaks and has no downtime
• AI augments the capabilities of differently abled individuals
• AI has mass market potential, it can be deployed across industries.
• AI facilitates decision-making by making the process faster and smarter.
 What Is Robotics?
Robotics is one of the application area of AI .Robotics is the intersection of science,
engineering and technology that produces machines, called robots, that replicate or
substitute for human actions. The objective of the robotics field is to create intelligent
machines that can assist humans in a variety of ways.
WHAT IS A ROBOT?
A robot is a programmable machine that can complete a task, while the term robotics
describes the field of study focused on developing robots and automation. Each robot has
a different level of autonomy. These levels range from human-controlled bots that carry
out tasks to fully-autonomous bots that perform tasks without any external influences.
Robotic systems can be defined as interconnected, interactive, cognitive and physical
tools that are able to perceive the environment using sensors, reason about events, make
plans using algorithms implemented in computer programs, and perform actions enabled
by actuators’.
HOW DO ROBOTS WORK?
A basic typical robot has a movable physical structure, a motor of some sort, a sensor
system, a power supply and a computer "brain" that controls all of these elements.
Essentially, robots are human-made versions of animal life — they are machines that
replicate human and animal behavior.
Robot arms move through the action of rotating and sliding joints, while mobile
robots move through locomotion and steering. Robot tasks, on the other hand, are
done with tools (end effectors) on the robot. Tasks may be manipulative, as when using a
gripper, or they may be sensory, as when positioning a camera
 Areas of Application and Benefits of Robotics

COBOTS
Collaborative robots or cobots are becoming increasingly
important. In a growing number of areas in industry,
conventional industrial robots are being replaced by or backed
up with collaborative robots. Cobots work together with
humans in production processes and are no longer kept
separate from their human co-workers with protective
devices, like typical industrial robots. Compared to traditional
industrial robots, collaborative robots are smaller, can be used
more flexibly, and are easier to program
 Industrial robots
• Industrial robots are programmable machines that are used to
handle, assemble, or process workpieces in the industrial
environment. Most of these robots consist of a robot arm, a
gripper, various sensors, and a control unit. They can also carry
out actions autonomously depending on how they are
programmed. Global robot density has increased significantly over
the last years: In 2015, on average there were 66 units per 10,000
employees, but this has now risen to 74 units. In Europe the
average robot density is 99, in the US it is 84, and in Asia it is 63.
 Service robots
Service robot is a machine that provides services for humans. A
distinction is made between use for private individuals and
professional applications. Vacuum cleaner and lawn mower robots
have become established in the private sphere. Here are the
different types of service robots:
• Security robots
• Robots in the hospitality industry
• Robots in the agriculture industry
• Robots in medicine
• Robots in surgery
• Toy robots
 Humanoid robots
Humanoid robots are machines that are
designed to look like humans. Joint
positions and movements are inspired by
the human locomotor system. This is also
clear by the fact that humanoid robots
usually move on two legs in an upright
position. The main motive for research
and development in the field of
humanoid robots is artificial intelligence
(AI).
 FUTURE OF ROBOTICS
• Robots are already all around us, whether it’s the automated machines that
assemble our vehicles or the virtual assistants that use conversational interfaces
to help us around the house. Yet as we’ve seen, they’re not currently suitable for
all areas of life. But will that change in the future?
• Despite fears of an AI takeover, where machines replace humans as the dominant
intelligence on the planet, such a scenario seems unlikely. However, business
network PwC predicts that up to 30% of jobs could be automated by robots by the
mid-2030s.
• Other reports suggest that the stock of robots worldwide could reach 20 million
by 2030, with automated workers taking up to 51 million jobs in the next 10 years.
So, while they may not take over the world, we can expect to see more robots in
our daily lives.
