Robotics:
Definition: Machines that are built to do complex programmed tasks without human
intervention, created with the branch of engineering and computer science to ease humans, is
known as robotics. It has changed every facet of our lives, AI in robotics creates an intelligent
environment which leads to better automation. Using vision techniques, and programming a
machine can execute tasks in dynamic conditions.
For example, A robot launched by Amazon “Astro bot” uses AI, plenty of sensors, as well
programming for home monitoring. It uses advanced navigation technology to find its way
around the home, by this it can also move to its charging station for charging, when needed.
Using its app “Amazon Astro” one can view a live location of their home, can also move around
with just a tap, and can see anything you want by adjusting its periscope. Coming to privacy,
Astro users can also disable its mics, cameras, and motion sensors with just a single click and
restrict its entrance to a certain area, or a room.
Robotics in manufacturing:
With the help of AI as well as robotics, humans can do work much faster and more efficiently.
With the help of CNG machines workers can not only cut the metal sheets for the making of
cars with precise measurements but also can create very complex shapes and designs in metals.
According to the roboticscareer.org, by 2025 almost 75% of cars will be made on robot
production lines
Robotics in Agriculture:
The worker fatigue and scarcity of labor would be eliminated by AI tools used for farming. In
the future, farmers will be able to grow crops with higher yields just because of the fully
automated tools.
Benefits and drawbacks:
Benefits:
Reduction of human error: AI is such a great tool for humans, and its biggest advantage is that it
improves accuracy and precision. The decisions taken by AI in every step is determined by a set
of algorithms and information gathered previously. The da Vinci robot or the da Vinci surgical
system, is used for surgeries. It gives more precise control for a range of procedures and offers
better control to surgeons. Also, just because of it, surgery is less painful as well as it heals
faster.
Availability: Everyone knows that humans remain productive for about 5-6 hours in a day. On
top of it, they need breaks in between to work efficiently. But, AI can do work not only faster,
but also more efficiently without having any breaks. Nowadays, some companies have also
launched Chatbots, which is a tool totally depends on AI. The main motive of this tool is to
provide instant customer service to customers, 24X7. It can resolve users’ queries, common
questions, ensuring seamless service around the clock.
AI in Automobile: AI is taking part in almost everything, and it has come to automobiles, which
not only reduces human errors, but also it enhances safety. AI drives the car completely with
the assistance of sensors, pedestrian detection camera systems and so on. According to Apple
Insider, Apple is secretly working on a self-driving car called “Project Titan”, which will be
launched by late 2025 or early 2026. Their reports also state that it will definitely impact Tesla
and other EVs sales
Drawbacks of AI:
Make humans lazy: No doubt, AI is extremely helpful in our day-to-day life. Without AI, life
would be impossible. However, while helping humans, it makes them lazy also. Even for the
smallest job individuals use AI tools such as ChatGPT. Moreover, the addiction of AI would
definitely make the future generation less intelligent and lazy.
Job Displacement: From the few years, numerous jobs have been taken by AI, which results in
unemployment. Even, AI work is perfect, but it is creating scarcity of jobs. Its transition can be
very painful for the affected workers. For example, humans are generally replaced by robots in
some more technologically advanced nations like Japan, to boost the production of
manufacturing goods.
Copied content- Because of AI, all kinds of sources are available on the internet, and with a
single click one can find information on any topic. Owing to this, some students prefer to copy
the content from the internet, rather than doing their research, and it makes them less
studious. They are using someone else’s resources for their benefit, which is a serious offence.
