INTRODUCTION

Robots are already a part of our lives. They are becoming more and more common in
our society and more integrated into our lives. This is due to the fact that they are becoming
smarter, smaller, cheaper, faster, more flexible, and more autonomous than ever before,
largely due in part by incorporating artificial intelligence. The six major types of robots are
autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), robotic arms,
robots, humanoid robots, and hybrids. Robots are being used in a variety of areas such as
manufacturing, healthcare, entertainment, military and defence, service industries, law
enforcement, education, shopping, and agriculture. Today, there are robots that can
autonomously sense, reason, plan, act, move, communicate, and collaborate with other
robots. The robot revolution is going to change us as humans. Although robots are poised
to displace millions of humans in various industries, they are nowhere close to behaving
like humans

[1]. Robotics is the study of robots, which includes designing and making robots. It is the
discipline of creating robots. It may also be regarded as the process of manufacturing,
designing, and operating robots. It is a multidisciplinary field where computer science,
engineering, and technology all meet. It has come out from fictional movies to real-world
settings, performing intricate tasks and changing the world we live in. As the field of
robotics advances, more intelligent machines become part of our society.

The use of robotics in various areas of our lives will lead to fundamental changes in society
and increase the quality of life of everyone, especially the elderly

[2]. It will also bring many social and cultural challenges.

The robotics industry worldwide keeps innovating, combining artificial intelligence and
vision and other sensory technologies. There are numerous predictions for the future of
robotics. After decades of research, it is now possible to make predictions about the future
evolution of robotics and the robotics industry. Integrating recent developments in
machine learning and artificial intelligence in robotics means that we may see an increase
in human-to-robot interactions in the future. Here are some ways we can expect robotics to
transform our future.

Robotics in Manufacturing:
Technologies are gradually moving away from replacing manual labor and toward
improving the efficiency of existing manufacturing processes, thereby making industrial
processes safer and more efficient. The possibilities of collaboration between humans and
robots will expand due to advanced AI. Changes in customer behavior have emerged as a
significant driver of the industry’s development. The use of robotics will increase
productivity and has the potential to bring more manufacturing production work back to
developed countries. Most robot adoption has occurred in manufacturing, but with
continued innovation, robot use is spreading to other sectors. In the early 21st century,
robotics is becoming increasingly important in many industries. US manufacturers are
making concerted efforts to drive down operational costs in order to be competitive
worldwide. Figure 2 shows the future of automation
Robotics in Business Industry:
Robots have the potential to reshape the way businesses are done. Robotic adoption will
likely be a critical determinant of business productivity. An increasing number businesses
are employing delivery robots, adding robotics to various aspects of restaurant operations,

Robots in Education:
Since education is one of the leading sectors of human development, the use of robotics
can be beneficial. But our educational system is not adequately preparing students for
workplace of the future. Robotics foresee robots as tutors or teachers of children. In the
education sector, the line between classrooms and individual learning settings is already
starting to blur. Computer-based learning is boosting personalized learning and enabling
students to learn at their own pace. Learning with educational robotics provides students
with opportunities for them to stop, question, and think deeply about technology. NAO, the
humanoid robot, is already forming bonds with students from around the world. It comes
with important senses of natural interaction, including moving, listening, speaking,and
connecting. In the future, robots could be with college students throughout all of their
years in school
Robotic Engineering:
This is the study of robots through designing, assembling, and programming of robots.
Engineers are needed to be trained so that they can create and design robots and robotic

systems. Mechanical engineer is among one of the most qualified to become a robotics
engineer. Robotics engineers should keep an eye on telepresence robots. In today’s world,
robotic engineers are in high demand due to advances in technologies such as artificial
intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision. Robots require a large amount of data
to guide its decision-making and help engineers design more detailed behavioural models.

Robotics in Construction:
Robots are now making their way into a variety of construction tasks, using brick-laying
robots, street-laying robots, drones, autonomous vehicles and large-scale 3D-printing
robots. Construction projects often take place in unstructured, outdoor environments, and
work sites are always changing. Construction robots usually have to be mobile and be able
to respond to variables in their operating environment. They are beginning to disrupt the
industry due to the many benefits they offer
Autonomous Car:
Self-driving cars still require some human intervention. Every automobile producer is
pursuing this technology, with Uber being one of the strongest players. Driving an
automobile is deceptively simple. It requires little skill.

Robotics in Space:
Commercial space robots have been designed for servicing satellites and

performing construction on the moon. The goal is to allow for space-based manufacturing,
which will reduce the complexity and cost of building large structures that can support
human life. Some robots will effectively eliminate some of the problems that have limited
our exploration of space. Robots would enable the repair and construction of simple
structures being built in space [15]. NASA’s Johnson Space Centre is designing the next
generation of autonomous robots that will help humans explore the solar system. While
autonomous robots have conducted
BENEFITS

In the last two decades, robotics has exploded, both in terms of research and applications.
Robots are transiting from repetitive tasks machines to cognitive partners. Sensor-driven
revolution is transforming robots from rote machines into cognitive collaborators.
Automation and robotics will boost the overall standard of living. They will also help to
solve social problems of health and safety. Humans no longer need to worry about
hazardous environments due to the ability of robots to handle those jobs. Since they are
custom-designed for exact, repetitive tasks, they hardly commit errors. Robots can offer
increased productivity, efficiency, quality and consistency in certain settings. Unlike
humans, robots don’t get bored. They can be very accurate. Robots can work in
environments that are unsafe for humans, such as with dangerous chemicals or in areas of
high radiation. Robots will free human workers for more complex tasks, but also eliminate
jobs for an estimated 120 million workers globally. Perhaps the main benefit of humans
operating with robots is that everyone can carry out what they do best: the robots perform
repetitive tasks, while people carry out complex tasks. Today, the field of robotics is
transforming and evolving at a very fast pace. The impacts of robots will likely differ
between developed and developing economies.
