ROBOT ROB

ROBOT ROB
ROBOTROB
DEFINITION
A type of automated machine that
can execute specific tasks with
little or no human intervention and
with speed and precision
HISTORY
Industrial Revolution, humans developed the structural engineering
capability to control electricity so that machines could be powered
with small motors
Early 20th century, the notion of a humanoid machine was developed.

Less human work

Digitally programmed industrial robots with artificial


intelligence have been built since the 2000s.

CAD software allows engineers to create 3D models of the robot

Physical prototyping involves creating a physical model of the robot

Materials: metals, plastics, composites and electronic components

Writing Code: Robots need to be programmed so that they can


carry out their intended tasks
APPLICATIONS OF ROBOTS IN
DIFFERENT FIELDS
Heathcare
Doctors and robots work together
Eg: Da Vinci Robot to microscopic bots, a.k.a microbots
unclog arteries, clear blood vessels, etc...
Cleaning, changing linen, moving things, keeping track, arranging
medicines, updating patient health records in real-time
Social robots that assist patients dealing with trauma by empathizing
and boosting their spirits.
Education
Classrooms teaching students and conducting workshops

Eg: Engkey
Engkey
The Intelligence center of South
Korea has developed a robot
called Engkey. This robot teaches
elementary school students about
the pronunciation of words and
their meaning in engaging ways. It
comes at an affordable price.
Education
Classrooms teaching students and conducting workshops

Eg: Engkey

Personable robots that can monitor a session


while a human teacher takes the class

Facilitating examination centers


Space
Space exploration, operation, astronomical assessment

Work on uneven and unstructured terrain

Evaluate an image clicked, recognise an obstacle


and model a terrain for better mobility

Carry out various experiments in real-time to


ensure better real-time results.
Robots can do almost all kinds of domestic household tasks

Chopping vegetables to watering plants, folding laundry,


and arranging things
Easier for people, especially for older people and ill people

Various sizes and shapes to suit the given tasks


Personal robots can take care of elderly persons when their
families are not around

Emerging Technologies
Swarm Robotics

Soft and Biohybrid Robots

5G and IoT: Robots increasingly communicate


in real-time and connect with other devices,
useful in smart factories and logistics for
efficiency.
Societal &
Ethical Impacts
Employment and Economy: Displace jobs in certain
sectors. New roles in tech and robot maintenance are
emerging, but reskilling programs are essential.

Privacy and Safety: Personnal robots collect data, raising


privacy concerns. Autonomous systems also need rigorous
safety standards to operate responsibly in public spaces.
Robot Rights &
Autonomous Weapons
Robot Rights: Ethical debates arise on potential “rights” for advanced AI
if they reach higher autonomy .

Military Applications: raising global calls for regulation


due to risks of misuse and accountability concerns.
Future Challenges

Social Integration: Robots will need human-friendly design and


communication skills, especially in healthcare and service roles.

Ethical Decision-Making: Efforts to embed ethical rules into AI continue,


focusing on robots that can make safe and responsible choices in complex,
real-world scenarios.
