What is robotics? 🤖

"Robots will someday, or maybe, wake up. They may be really smart. They may be as creative, smart and capable as human beings, and fully conscious, and self discerning with free will. "   

                                                                           -David Hanson


Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots. This field overlaps with electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence, mechatronics, nanotechnology and bioengineering.

Robotics are used in a lot of applications for more accurate consistency in manufacturing, and the other upside is the time. People get tired and need breaks and it may be hard to find staff to cover all shifts. Robotics can allow for longer manufacturing runs with a smaller staff. You just need to consider the initial investment vs the long term maintenance and savings.

Aspects of Robotics

·      The robots have mechanical construction, form, or shape designed to accomplish a particular task.

·      They have electrical components which power and control the machinery.

·      They contain some level of computer program that determines what, when and how a robot does something.


  Top robotic applications that will surprise you

 

Remote Robotic Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery has changed the face of the medical world as we look today. The healthcare domain has undergone a revolution expanding the surgeons’ capabilities in multiple ways. Like for instance, in complex surgical procedures, robots direct the human surgeons having the controls of the computer console to move instruments attached to robot arms. The surgeon’s movements are translated by a computer which are then performed on the patient by the robot. The medical procedures of today are so advanced that it is possible to perform medical surgeries by specialists who are located at different geographical domains. Such is the power of robotics.


Warehouse Logistics

Robots are essentially used in the logistic supply chain management as opposed to historically being limited to assembly-line operations. As industrial robots become more sophisticated and capable of handling more responsibility, manufacturers have begun to explore their deployment into the warehouse.



Space

Robot controlled machines give astronauts the chance to explore space in the most mind-boggling ways. The most commonly deployed space robots are the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and the Remote Manipulator System (RMS), both of which are used in a number of space missions. Robotics controlled ROVs can be unmanned spacecraft that orbit freely or land when it contacts an outer space surface to explore the terrain.



Robotic Painting
Professional painters are difficult to find and the job is a highly toxic one. This makes it perfect for robots, because the paint job needs to be highly consistent over a large area of paint, and reducing the amount of wasted material can add up to quite a bit of savings over time.

All About Quantum Computing Source:- Shutterstock | Published by:- Investorplace Quantum computing is the area of study focused on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory, which explains the nature and behavior of energy and matter on the quantum (atomic and subatomic) level. Development of a quantum computer, if practical, would mark a leap forward in computing capability far greater than that from the abacus to a modern day supercomputer, with performance gains in the billion-fold realm and beyond. The quantum computer, following the laws of quantum physics, would gain enormous processing power through the ability to be in multiple states, and to perform tasks using all possible permutations simultaneously. Quantum computing is the study of a non-classical model of computation. Whereas a classical computer encodes data into fundamental units called bits, where each bit represents either a one or a zero, a quantum computer encodes data int...

ABS ,CBS & EBD

What is ABS ,CBS & EBD ? Here’s a fact: India has the highest road fatalities in the world. Road accidents in India have claimed 147,913 lives in 2017 and left 470,975 injured. While the numbers are simply shameful, there is hope that our roads could get a bit safer thanks to the new two-wheeler and four-wheeler safety norms that came into effect from April 1,2019 . All four- and two-wheelers manufactured in the country will have to be compulsorily fitted with ABS or an Anti-Lock Braking System. As per the norms, all new two-wheelers with an engine displacement over 125cc will have to be equipped with ABS while models with engine displacement of 125cc or below will need to have compulsory fitment of combi-braking system (CBS). Let's have a look ,what does this ABS ,CBS & EBD terms actually means . What Is ABS ? Anti-Lock braking System system or ABS is a safety system which prevents the wheels on a moving vehicle from locking up(or cease while rotating) while braking. A...
