AI and Robotics: The Perfect Duo for the Future

-

 The current Buzzword in our world is AI, but what exactly is AI? 

AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines. These systems are designed to think and act like humans. They are programmed to make decisions based on data and learning from their experiences. You’ve most probably encountered AI in various forms, such as virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa which are personal assistants, recommendation systems on Netflix, and even your Instagram and X feed. AI can analyse a large amount of data quickly and accurately, this ability of AI makes it really useful and important in today's digital age.

So, how exactly does AI affect Robotics?

When AI is integrated into robotics, it gives robots the ability to learn from their surroundings and previous actions, and make decisions autonomously. This integration results in AI-powered robots that are more versatile and capable than robots which do not have AI integrated in them. Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang has stated that "The next wave of AI is physical AI" and "Robotics is here. Physical AI is here. This is not science fiction, and it’s being used all over Taiwan. It’s just really, really exciting". This shows how even the biggest companies all around the world are focusing and are optimistic about AI. 


What are the benefits of integrating AI in Robotics?

1. Increased Productivity and Efficiency - AI robots can help companies perform repetitive and monotonous activities, this frees up workers for more important task. Ai can help automate the data entry and processing tasks such as scanning documents and extracting information. Because of the presence of artificial intelligence, robots can learn progressively and make changes to their behavior and actions.


2. Precision and Accuracy - AI robots are capable of performing intricate jobs like quality-control inspections on assembly lines because they can see and comprehend their surroundings. In industries like electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, where tiny components require precise placement and alignment, AI robots ensure consistent quality and reduce defects. 

3. Enhanced worker safety - By automating risky jobs like handling hazardous materials and heavy lifting, artificial intelligence in robots improves worker safety by lowering the chance of injuries from repetitive exposure to hazardous circumstances. Artificial intelligence-enabled robots can operate in hazardous or remote locations and carry out emergency response duties. One such example of this is a robot called "Sparrow" which uses computer vision and AI in Amazon warehouses to replace the current manual jobs. According to TechHq, nearly half of the warehouse injuries in the US occurred at Amazon. This step taken by Amazon shows us that AI and robotics can help with safety of the workers

 Many people ask the question, "How does robotics affect our life?". Well, in this blog I'll answer that question for you! Robots are utilised in many different industries, from manufacturing to logistics, and robots have become an integral component of our lives. Robots can carry out activities that humans find risky, repetitive, or challenging save time, and make our lives much easier!  Domestic uses: The demand for domestic robots has been increasing rapidly. The most popular domestic robot is a robot vacuum cleaner, also known as a 'Roomba'. It is an extremely useful device that helps save time and does a monotonous task and does it efficiently. It has a plethora of sensors such as a cliff sensor and an infrared sensor which allows the Roomba to prevent falls and navigate safely without causing damage to the house or to itself, Roomba are equipped with inertial sensors and accelerometers that help determine the robot's orientation and changes in motion.

What is robotics? Well, it is amalgamation of science, engineering, and technology and has changed and revolutionised a countless number of industries such as healthcare, manufacturing and agriculture. For these machines to work, the core is the electronics which run and bring these machines to life. Understanding the basics of electronics is crucial before trying to learn the depths of Robotics. Voltage, Current and Resistance: These are the three most fundamental concepts of electricity which is essential for the working of a machine. Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points. Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes electrons through a conducting loop, which enables them to do work. Voltage is measured in Volts. Current on the other hand is the movement of electric charge through an electric conductor. Current is measure in amps. Resistance is the measure of opposition to the flow of charged(current) in an electric co

Welcome back to the blog on the electrifying world of robotics! In this part of Basic Electronics for Robotics, we will further explore the fascinating world of electronic components and some fundamental concepts that you should know! First up are the laws by Kirchoff, it is a fundamental principle that helps us understand current and voltage, it shows how electric currents behave in a circuit. It might sound intimidating, but in this article, I will walk you through each and every concept in detail. I hope that by the end of this, you will understand the fundamentals. Kirchoff's Current Law - the law states that the current entering a junction in a circuit should be equal to the total current leaving the junction. It reinforces the principle of conservation of electric charge within a circuit. It helps us understand how currents behave at junctions in electrical circuits, which can help us design advanced robotic systems Kirchoff's Voltage Law - it states that in any clo
