Robotics is one field where the future is pretty evident. We know what’ll happen next, as it’s all happening now!
IR
obot, Star Trek, Star Wars, Terminator, Bicentennial Man, The Matrix, Robots, Robocop, Terminator, Artificial Intelligence – A.I... Yes, it’s pretty predictable what we’re getting at. These, and many other sci-fi movies, discuss similar issues – the robots; and if we can say so – the next form of life on earth! Set way into the future, they all attempt to portray, and quite dramatically so, how our world is going to shape up. The one thing common between all these movies is the acceptance of the eventual dawn of Robots... And we accept it too!
The science of Robotics is one of the least understood, yet awe-inspiring fields, and on a parallel with rocket-science. Not too many understand it because of cumbersome technicalities. And to be able to truly appreciate robotics, it’s essential to have a sound knowledge about electronics, mechanics and soft ware – engineers rejoice! While robotics is the actual development of a robot, its design and applications, AI is a subset of robotics and it functions as the “brain” for the robot. In recent times, this combination of Robotics and AI has led to the development of some remarkably advanced robots. They are getting increasingly closer to the challenge of ultimately becoming a ‘Substitute Human’. It should be noted that these robots are still in the development phase and have not been commercialised yet. The cost of some of these robots could go upto $65,000! Yes, that’s right.
