The Futuristic Globe
Scientific and technological advancements have facilitated the imaginable to become a reality today. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence have engendered a revolutionary era, which was not even conceivable twenty years back. Clearly, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence have strongly embedded themselves in various parts of human existence and are anticipated to further transform the course of life in the forthcoming. While the majority concur that Robotics and Artificial Intelligence extends an influential industry with boundless resources and extensive welfare, others perceive it as a potential threat to the human race.
Robots have not only infiltrated daily hustle and bustle of an individual but also suffice as supportive allies in automating abundant industry tasks. Within the boundary of a household and a workplace, virtual assistants and chatbots, like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa effortlessly accomplish functions like setting up alarms and reminders for meetings, hence steadily diminishing the need for human assistants. Moreover, the IoT (Internet of things) enables the virtual assistant to smoothly operate other machines in a house for example turning on the AC or reducing the sound of music. Similarly cooking bots, lawnmowers and vacuum cleaners are readily used to assist humans in performing certain everyday chores with ease.
Another extensive application of robotics is in manufacturing and production-based industries. About half a century ago, it took an entire team’s labor to execute a job in such industries, however nowadays, the existence of a manufacturing company without CNC machines, assembling and disassembling robots, automatic conveyor belts, steel robotic arms etc. sounds irrational. Such automatons help tackle the ultimatums of industrial safety, production rate, market competitiveness, reduced costs and insufficient manpower while also simplifying fabrication processes with improved adeptness.
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are excessively becoming an irrefutable part of healthcare. Since robots are constructed and calibrated to operate immaculately, their purview in the field of medical is tremendous. They not only serve as nurse’s subordinates but also aid surgeons in performing operations with improved precisions. During the pandemic, robots accommodated the medical staff by indulging in tasks that involved interacting with people suffering from the infection. Hence, robots have clearly demonstrated to not only succor humans with medical services but also execute missions that are unfeasible for individuals. Similarly, robotics and artificial intelligence have successfully engaged to deliver medical supplies to remote as well as flood infected areas unapproachable to man.
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is also reported to reign over agriculture, which is an immensely widespread primary industry throughout the world. The dawning of the age of robot farmers is evident from the escalated indulgence of agricultural robots, for example Dino is operated to weed large fields, Mamut treks field and tracks diseases, SmartCore accumulates soil samples, Ecorobotix scans and sprays weed on a farm, Agerris herds cattle. Artificial Intelligence has facilitated these robots to function extra productively by monitoring soil conditions, analyzing weather situation and predicting denouements. Hence, these advancements not only bring down the demand for human labor but will permit mankind to smoothly satisfy the requirement for sustainable agricultural growth and increased food production.
Risks of unemployment for man due to the rise of machines is a pressing concern for many. However, robots are designed to ease the order of things for humans by completing procedures in a rather safer and efficient manner. This issue is further contradicted by the fact that due to the growth of the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence industry alternative variety of employments will become available as humans are needed to design software for robots as well as to maintain and fix machines. Hence the authorities should provide understanding and training of machines, assist research by issuing grants and investing in innovations to create an environment where every human can benefit from this futuristic globe.
The robot future has already emerged, and further evolutions are inevitable.
