INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS


 


 “Researchers estimate that by 2040 robots might become as smart as humans”. From the above meme and the fact let’s head on to our topic. Yes, it’s all about robotics. In simple robotics is an intersection of computer science, electronics and mechanical engineering. It deals with design, construction, use of robots that are widely used in many industries which replaces human work. Not only in industries robotics have potential to transform lives and work practices. The term “robots” was coined from a short story by Issac Asimov in 1940. Robots may take any form but most of the robotics engineers give the human appearance. By giving human appearance they can walk, talk and do all the activities which are done by humans. By doing so robots are reducing the work of humans and thus creating the unemployment stage for humans in automobile industries. Issac has given three laws to guide these robotics machines they are:

·         Robots will never harm human beings.

·         Robots will follow instructions given by humans with breaking law one.

·         Robots will protect themselves without breaking other rules.

Robotics has intellectual and mechanical properties. While the overall world of robotics is expanding,


ESSENTIAL  CHARACTERISTICS OF ROBOTS:

1.   MECHANICAL:  A robot needs to be able to move around its environment either through walking on legs or rolling on wheels.

 2.   ELECTRICAL: A robot should be able to power itself. It might be powered through battery, solar power or through electrical circuits so that it gets energy to perform tasks.

 3.   COMPUTER PROGRAMMING: Here intelligence comes into picture. Without the set of code given, a robot will just stay as a simple machine. so the programmer should insert a code of a program so that it gains the ability and knowledge of the task.

 


LATEST INNOVATION IN ROBOTICS:

Google is planning to produce worker robots with personalities. The technology giant recently won a patent for the ambitious project. Engineers will enable the machines to download personalities from a cloud-based system. The robots have the capacity to store and display multiple personalities when interacting with humans. We will now have a look on;

 Types of robots:

Robots come in all sizes ranging from millimeter to meter long to efficiently carry out tasks which humans can’t do. Generally, there are five types of robots:

 

·         Pre-programmed robots

·         Humanoid robots

·         Autonomous robots

·         Tele-operated robots

·         Augmenting robots

 Technology is playing a vital role in helping humans work more effectively. It is the 21 st century and we cannot work without machines. So there are advantages, but there are disadvantages as well. Lets see.

              PROS                                                                                                 CONS

Robots are fast and work at high speeds                   They create unemployment

Can be used repetitively                                                       Expensive to maintain

They are independent                                                            Dangerous if not controlled

They are accurate and saves time                                       Need power to work

 

APPLICATIONS OF ROBOTICS:

From the above pros, there are many applications of robots nowadays in almost all the industries you can imagine because of their precision and convenience. Let's see some applications…!!

1.       Military

2.       Underwater exploration

3.       Security

4.       Healthcare

5.       Agriculture

6.       Entertainment

7.       Space exploration

8.       Food preparation

 

The utilization of robots will bring more technological advancements and profit to certain industries. If ultimately robots would do all the work and the humans will just sit and monitor them, health hazards will increase rapidly. So, till the robots are unable to reach the level of human intelligence, humans will still have a vital role in every workplace. Taking the pros and cons into consideration, use the technology effectively.

Think of the future, will robots rule our daily life??Keep exploring…Hope you liked this blog, share your thoughts and stay engaged for more blogs.

INTRODUCTION TO KSS

INTRODUCTION TO KSS:                       KSS is the abbreviated form of Knyle Style Sheet. It can be simply described as CSS documentation. Documentation for any flavor of CSS that you’ll love to write. It is in the form of human readable, machine parsable and easy to remember. KSS is a documentation specification and styleguide format. It is not a preprocessor, CSS framework, naming convention, or specificity guideline.It is hierarchical in nature. Why KSS? If we have added a new member to the medieval of our project, he/she would have coped up to our styles. He/she can’t start anything from scratch. This may increase the time to develop our project. Suppose, we have already documented our CSS, a new member can just refer to the styles and start doing their works. This will increase the efficiency of our project.  If you’ve ever been a new developer on a team with weak documentation, you know how confusing it can b...

LEARN TO CODE(Beginners)

SELECT * FROM WORLD WHERE “SOMEONE” LIKE ’%YOU’ ….Can you all guess what is the result of above few lines??,,or simply what does it mean? Explorers in computer science background may have slight   guess going on in your mind. The result of above query is “no results”. I admire the sayings of Maria Klawe which is “Coding is today’s   language of creativity, All our children deserve a chance to become creators instead of consumers of computer science. Thats the reason I started the article with few lines   of code, so learn to code easily and quickly with right the right learning strategy. WHAT IS CODING?           Coding is all about writing a computer program to solve a specific program.           Computer code is used to program the websites, apps, and other technologies we interact with every day.                  Depending about the software developed, the coder...

Machine learning approaches

Image
  MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES: Machine learning: Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that uses the data and provide the analyzed results. Machine learning algorithms would build a data model which uses the dataset called trained data.   These datasets have been trained based on the algorithms that we need. Machine learning is used in many fields such as medicine, aerospace technology, government-related works, email filtering, speech recognition, etc.,  Machine learning approaches are categorized into various types like Supervised learning Unsupervised learning Semi-supervised learning Reinforcement learning In this blog, we will see about supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Supervised learning: Supervised learning can be defined easily by its use of labeled data. This way of approach is used for building a mathematical model which takes input and gives predicted output. This approach is usually used to build the model for predictions and class...
