 The Role of AI in Advancing Robotics

How AI is Fueling the Robotics Revolution?
Published on: 

The Artificial Intelligence(AI) revolution in robotics makes robots smarter, faster, and more efficient. Industries worldwide are using AI-driven robots to increase efficiency and cut expenses.

The AI and Robotics — the Killer Combination

Robots have existed for decades, but they were limited to pre-programmed tasks. Machine learning and automation are making robots learn and adapt.

A 2023 report by McKinsey found that robotics powered by AI could increase global gross domestic product (GDP) growth by up to $4.4 trillion annually. This demonstrates the growing dominance of AI in the robotics space.

How AI is Improving Robotics

1. Smarter Decision-Making

Traditional robots operate from set commands. AI robots are capable of data processing and decision-making, which helps them prepare for the unknown.

For example, AI robots deployed in the warehouse optimize storage and search for quick delivery routes. Amazon deploys such robots to increase efficiencies.

2. Enhanced Automation

AI makes automation intelligent. Human contribution has become greatly limited since robots can do much of our dirty work. AI-powered robots manufacture products, point out defects, and manage inventory in manufacturing plants.

According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), there should be 3.5 million industrial robots by 2025. AI is driving this growth.

3. Enhancing Human-Robot Collaboration

AI allows robots to work safely alongside humans. For example, in the manufacturing industry, Cobots (collaborative robots) can detect human movement and adapt their behavior based on this feedback.

Cobots assist workers in various industries, such as healthcare and manufacturing. This saves labor and improves workplace safety.

4. Natural Learning and Adaptation

AI-powered robots learn from experience. And it gets better the more it is used, using machine learning.

Self-driving cars, for example, use AI to study traffic patterns and improve navigation. Companies like Tesla and Waymo also utilize AI to enhance the experience with self-driving vehicles.

5. Growth in Service Robotics

Service robots are becoming increasingly common in homes and help businesses run smoothly. AI powers personal assistants, cleaning robots, and even robotic chefs.

According to a recent Statista report, the global market for service robots is predicted to reach $50 billion by 2030. This expansion in growth is largely due to AI.

The Future of AI in Robotics

The robotics industry will continue to develop. AI will allow robots to perform increasingly difficult tasks and communicate with people better.

Due to advancements in deep learning and computer vision, robots are becoming more independent. This will lead to new applications in agriculture, medicine, construction, space exploration, and more.

Final Thoughts

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing robotics. It is making robots intelligent, adaptive, and efficient. From industrial automation to service robots, AI is changing the face of the world.

With the growing technology, the applications of AI in robotics will grow excessively. Automaton is the future, and there is no looking back.

Drone radar facilitates agricultural monitoring

-

  In agriculture, drones distribute seeds or fertilizers with precision, saving both time and money. When combined with sensors and artificial intelligence, they can perform remote sensing, similar to satellites and airplanes, monitor large crops, conduct detailed analyses of soil’s chemical elements, and identify issues such as erosion. One of the most advanced techniques in this field, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), has been enhanced by Radaz, a startup founded in 2017 at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and now based in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. “It’s an innovative technology with enormous potential to generate a wide variety of products, serving various market segments,” says electrical engineer Hugo Enrique Hernández Figueroa from UNICAMP’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC), who led the team responsible for developing a radar mounted on a small drone. To achieve this, the team had to miniaturize the radar’s electronic hardware and antennas. The id...

Japan to increase reliance on nuclear energy

-
Image
  Japan’s Cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan emphasising nuclear power and renewables as its primary carbon-free sources to ensure energy security and achieve net-zero emissions. The government revises its energy plan about every three years. The plan is based on the Basic Energy Policy Law enacted in June 2002. The new 7th Basic Energy Plan reverses the government’s earlier resolve to minimise reliance on nuclear energy following the 2011 Fukushima crisis. Nuclear power will account for about 20% of the Japan’s total energy output in fiscal 2040, similar to the fiscal 2030 target of 20-22% and a significant increase on the 8.5% in fiscal 2023. Electricity demand is expected to rise due in part to the prevalence of artificial intelligence and data centres. The government aims to meet high demand by easing requirements for replacing old reactors with new ones. When rebuilding at a plant site is not possible, power companies will be allowed to establish replacement reactors...
