2.  Robotics is the branch of technology dealing with design,
construction, operation, and application of robots and computer
systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information
processing.
 Automation is an extension of robotics and can be termed as the
next phase of industrial revolution.
 The latest application of robotics and automation can be seen in
technologies such as autonomous or driverless cars, 3D printing
and chat bots.

3. AUTOMATION
 Automation is the use of various control systems for operating
equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, stabilization
of ships, aircraft and other applications with minimal or reduced
human intervention.

4. ROBOTICS
 The Robot Institute of America designates a robot as “a
reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move
material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various
programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.”
 Robotic process automation (RPA) is the application of
technology that allows employees in a company to configure
computer software or a “robot” to capture and interpret existing
applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data,
triggering responses and communicating with other digital
systems.

8. ROBOTICS ANDITS APPLICATIONS
 Neurorobotics-AI technique that mimics the operation of the human
brain (nerves and neurons), and comprises of densely interconnected
computer processors working simultaneously.
 Medical Robotics-Replacing humans with robots in personal
assistance tasks.
 Surgical robots in computer/robotically assisted surgery to aid in
surgical procedures.
 Automated Mining

9. Cont….
 Industrial Robotics- The field of robotics involving the study,
design and use of robot systems for manufacturing with robots
automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose
manipulator programmable in three or more axes.
 Military robotics to carry out many risky jobs that cannot
be handled manually by soldiers. E.g.-packbot,
MARCbot to inspect suspicious objects
 Social robots

10. LATEST TRENDS IN ROBOTICS
 Astrobee- It is a semi-autonomous machine. It will float around in
3-D space, uses blasts of air to steer itself assisting astronauts
in a range of tasks.
 Robot pills- A capsule contains a magnet, camera, wireless chip,
and set of mechanical legs. Tracking device: Camera, wireless
telemetry system
 Microbotics- They are miniature robotics, very cheap. Swarm
robotics useful in applications such as looking for survivors in
collapsed buildings after an earthquake, or crawling through the
digestive tract. Magnetic Microbots to Fight Cancer.

11. Cont….
 SALTO-means saltatorial locomotion on terrain obstacles. one-
legged robot mostly designed in disaster and rescue situation.
 Robot spiders- Swarm of robot spiders can be used in 3D
Printing. The problem with most 3D printer’s design-limited
capacity.
 Drones- “parcelcopters”—Delivery with quick speeds.
 Domino’s delivery robot heats Pizza on Its Way to Your House.

12. Cont…
 Nanorobots-play a crucial role in the field of Bio-Medicine,
particularly for the treatment of cancer, removal of kidney stones,
surgery and for some other treatments that need utmost support
to save human lives.
 EMILY- Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard -A remote-
controlled robot lifeguard designed to be thrown out of a
helicopter (or from a boat or a bridge) and then driven up to a
person in the water.
 Origami robot- Unfold in Stomach and making ingestible
microscopic robots that can enter human organs. Outside
magnetic forces are used to steer the robot through intestines.
