Artificial Intelligence in Robotics
By Vishakha Thakur
Do Robots fascinate you?
The extraordinary field of Robotics is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing innovations in the history of technology.
Robots have been around for a while, but the improved versions have emerged ever since the field started using Artificial Intelligence.
In this article, we will delve into the interesting aspects of Artificial Intelligence in the field of Robotics and understand some important applications.
What is this ‘popular’ field of Robotics?
A branch of computer science that creates, designs and manufactures robots is often called the field of robotics. This popular field has the ability to create intelligence machines that can help humans in several ways.
Let’s consider the example of some real-life AI Robots.
Popular AI assistants such as Apple’s Siri and Alexa use Artificial Intelligence to listen to your voice commands, set alarms as well answer your queries to set reminders.
In fact, popular streaming entertainment platforms such as Netflix and hotstar always know the show you will binge-watch next.
Artificial Intelligence & the field of Robotics
Artificial intelligence has enormous benefits and applications in various industries such as manufacturing and Logistics. AI in both the fields can aid in improving industrial productivity with the help of which the various factors such as cost efficiency can be balanced. The productivity is mainly increased by a Robot that holds machine learning capabilities as well as advanced algorithms.
Undoubtedly, Robotics along with artificial intelligence are closely linked fields that, when combined, form the robotic artificial intelligence.
AI-based Robots can adapt to new conditions as well as make judgements. This involves machine learning, Natural Language processing along with several other Artificial Intelligence techniques.
All the robots are able to use machine learning algorithms to identify trends, evaluate data as well as improve performance over time. This ability is highly useful for situations where the environment varies or is unexpected.
Various AI-powered vision systems even allow robots to comprehend visual data from their environment.
While it is clear that the role of Robotics in AI is highly immense, it is important to talk about the applications too. Thus, the mixture of robotics and AI enables a wide range of applications such as drones, automation industry, healthcare, education etc. The combination of AI and Robotics is continually evolving, and this can result in capable robotic systems of the future.
Applications of AI in Robotics
There are numerous benefits of using AI in the robotic field. Artificial Intelligence has changed everything right from customer service till production. So, here are the practical applications of AI in the field of Robotics.
Customer Service
First application is Customer Service. You must have noticed that AI-powered chatbots are becoming increasingly popular in several customer service applications.
Interestingly, these customer service agents can easily conduct some easy tasks on repeat without needing human intervention. Such systems can engage with humans so that they can learn better.
As these AI systems advance, one can expect an increasing number of robots deployed in customer care in both online as well as offline settings.
Assembly
The second important application is Assembly. AI has definitely proven to be a valuable tool in robotic assembly applications, particularly in complicated industrial industries like aerospace. Artificial Intelligence and improved vision systems can quickly enable real-time course correction along with assisting a robot in autonomously learning the best paths for specific activities while in operation.
Packaging
Artificial intelligence is utilised in the packaging business too. This not only improves productivity but improves accuracy as well as cost-effectiveness. Artificial Intelligence mainly contributes to the ease of installation along with transporting robotic equipment by instantly refining and saving several specific motions performed by robotic systems.
Imaging
Imaging is a major concern in various industries. Robots can improve their visual acuity and image recognition skills with AI, allowing for higher precision in even the finest details in industries such as logistics and manufacturing.
Along with Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning too serves as an effective technique for robots. Robots are able to learn more about their surroundings, find ways around obstacles, and solve issues in order to do jobs much more efficiently.
There is no harm in saying that machine learning is indeed assisting robots in becoming more intelligent and flexible in their work, ranging from home robots such as vacuum cleaners to factory robots.
Those were few applications of artificial Intelligence in the field of Robotics
As these technologies evolve and become more sophisticated, we should expect to see the use cases rise in the near future.
