Applications of Robots
Applications of Robots
Robots have a wide range of applications, making them an ideal technology for the future. We will soon see robots almost everywhere. They'll be in hospitals, hotels, and even on the roads.
ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS
- Fighting forest fires for conservation.
- Manufacturing includes working in factories as well as finding and transporting items in warehouses.
- Companionship: providing company to the elderly.
- Assisting with surgical procedures in healthcare.
- Complete food delivery and last-mile fulfilment.
- Vacuuming and mowing the lawn are household chores.
- Performing search-and-rescue missions in the aftermath of natural disasters.
- Landmine detection in war zones is a military operation.
Manufacturing Robotics
Manufacturing is probably the oldest and most well-known application of robots. These robots and co-bots (bots that work alongside humans) test and assemble products such as automobiles and industrial machinery. More than three million industrial robots are currently in use, according to estimates.
Robots for Logistics
Shipping, handling, and quality control robots are quickly becoming essential for most retailers and logistics firms. Logistics companies use robots in warehouses and even on the road to help maximize time efficiency because we now expect our packages to arrive at lightning speed. Currently, robots are removing your items from the shelves, transporting them across the warehouse floor, and packaging them. Furthermore, the rise of last-mile robots (robots that will autonomously deliver your package to your door) ensures that you will come face-to-face with a logistics bot in the near future.
Household Robots
It's no longer science fiction. Robots can be found throughout our homes, assisting with chores, reminding us of our schedules, and even entertaining our children. Roomba, the self-driving vacuum cleaner, is the most well-known example of a home robot. Furthermore, robots have evolved to do everything from autonomously mowing grass to pool cleaning.
Robots that travel
Is there anything more science fiction-like than self-driving cars? These self-driving cars are no longer a pipe dream. Self-driving vehicles are taking the world by storm, thanks to a combination of data science and robotics. Companies such as Tesla, Ford, Waymo, Volkswagen, and BMW are all working on the next generation of transportation that will allow us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Uber and Lyft are also developing autonomous rideshare vehicles that do not require humans to operate them.
Robotics in Healthcare
In the healthcare industry, robots have made enormous strides. These mechanical marvels are used in almost every aspect of healthcare, from robot-assisted surgeries to physical therapy bots that help humans recover from injury. Toyota's healthcare assistants, which help people regain their ability to walk, and TUG, a robot designed to autonomously stroll through a hospital and deliver everything from medicines to clean linens, are two examples of robots at work in healthcare.
Pharmaceutical companies have used robots to aid in the fight against COVID-19. These bots are now being used to fill and seal COVID-19 testing swabs, and some manufacturers are also using them to produce PPE and respirators.
