Introduction:
Machines that are programmed to imitate a human are known as robots. These
robots use AI (Artificial Intelligence). Artificial Intelligence is a Computer
Science where computer systems are created to simulate human intelligence.

Figure 1:Robots
Robotics is a fascinating field that integrates the principles of mechanical
engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence.
It is all about designing, building, programming, and operating robots. Robots
are used to perform various physical and dangerous tasks mechanically. They
are either controlled by a computer chip (automated) or by a human(manually).
What makes robots special is their autonomy or semi-autonomy. This means
they can perform tasks on their own or with minimal human intervention. They
interact with the physical world and make decisions based on the sensory inputs
they receive. Their ability to sense, process, and respond to their environment is
what sets robots apart.
So, in a nutshell, robotics is about creating intelligent machines that can help us
in many aspects of our lives - from manufacturing to healthcare, and from space
exploration to household chores.

USAGE OF ROBOTICS:
• DISPOSAL OF BOMBS AND CLEAN UP OF NUCLEAR
WASTES:
Bomb disposal robots are known as Explosive Ordnance Disposal
(EOD)robots and are specially designed and equipped to handle
explosive devices safely.
They are remotely operated by trained technicians from a safe
distance. These robots are equipped with special tools and arms that
allow them to manipulate and inspect suspicious objects including
bombs and improvised explosive devices.
The EOD robots are equipped with special sensors, cameras and X-
ray systems to provide the operator with real time data about the
substance they are dealing with.
Bomb disposal robots are specially designed for mobility and can
move through terrain, climb stairs and access confined spaces
allowing them to reach and dispose bombs in various conditions.
In cases where a bomb needs to be disposed or destroyed, these
robots can be equipped with tools like water disruptors or explosive
charges. The bomb can place and remotely detonate these tools to
dispose the bomb safely.
Figure 3:Robots are used to clean up nuclear wastes

Robots can be used to clean up nuclear waste which is a very complex and
hazardous task due to its radioactivity.
The robots are remotely operated by the operators. These robots are equipped
with special sensors and cameras which are prone to the radioactivity and can
send real time visual feedback to the operators about the site. Robotic arms are
used to handle radioactive wastes. These robots are designed for
decontamination tasks that involve the cleaning and removing of radioactive
materials from surfaces.
• EXPLORING AREAS WITH EXTREME CONDITIONS:
Robots are often used to explore areas where humans cannot go easily. For
example, robots are sent to Mars to take information about the climate and soil
of Mars and about the facts that decide the adaptability of humans there. Robots
are used for deep sea exploration where divers cannot go due to intense pressure
or darkness. Robots are used for scientific research purposes in very cold areas
like the Antarctica. These days they are also used in military equipment like
military drones which are unmanned and can be sent to enemy territories to
make attack. Robots can be used to collect data from volcanic sites which can
allow the scientists to research and issue warnings for probable eruptions.

• MANUFACTURING:
Robots are used in production lines for packing and welding products because
they can do the tasks faster and much more accurately than humans. They can
increase the precision and quality of products and cut the cost of manufacturing.

• Moving and lifting heavy objects: Robots are used to move or lift heavy
objects or to install large engines. This not only
conserves a significant amount of time, but also a
substantial amount of money.

ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTICS:
1. Efficiency: Industrial robots can perform tasks faster
and more efficiently than humans because they are
designed to perform them more precisely.
2. Working in Dangerous Environments: Robots can Figure 6:Robots are used for moving heavy objects
work in unstable or hazardous environments, such as
areas with a high level of chemicals or extreme temperatures.
3. Quality Assurance: Due to their greater precision, industrial robots can
produce higher quality products.
4. Avoids Accidents: Robots are good at avoiding accidents that can occur with
humans at the helm.
5. Longer Working Span: Robots can work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and
do not require breaks, vacations, or unexpected absences.
6. Improved Workplace: Robots can perform tasks that are considered too
dangerous or too time-consuming and repetitive for humans.

DISADVANTAGES OF ROBOTICS:
1. Job Displacement: The use of robots can create economic problems if they
replace human jobs.
2. Limited Capabilities: Robots can only do what they are told to
do – they can’t improvise. They are less dexterous than humans,
they don’t have such powerful brains, and cannot compete with a
human’s ability to understand what they can see.
3. Need for Qualified Personnel: Manufacturers have found it
more difficult to find qualified personnel for specific tasks in
their factories.
4. Power Supply: Robots need a constant supply of power.
Figure 7:A major disadvantage of
robotics is job displacement
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, robotics is a rapidly advancing field that has the potential to
revolutionize many aspects of our lives. The advantages of robotics, such as
increased efficiency, quality assurance, and the ability to work in dangerous
environments, make them a valuable tool in our lives. However, there are also
significant disadvantages to consider, including job displacement, limited
capabilities, high costs, and the need for qualified personnel.
Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of robotics are immense. As
technology continues to advance, it is likely that many of these disadvantages
will be ruled out. The key is to create a balance between utilizing the benefits of
robotics while minimizing its potential drawbacks. This includes implementing
policies to protect workers and investing in education and training programs to
prepare the workforce for a future where robots are an integral part of our
everyday lives.
In a nutshell, while robotics poses certain challenges, its potential to boost
efficiency and productivity, enhance safety measures, and unlock new
possibilities makes it a promising and opportunistic field.
