This is an assignment that focus on the problems that are identified and providing
appropriate solution by making use of Robots. There are different changes that has taken place in
relation with technology. These changes are made so that better lives can be provided to humans.
There are different field in which robots are replacing humans so that rate of risk of life can be
reduced. In this assignment, identification of a problem is done that are faced in daily life and for
this solution is also provided by making use of Robots.
Introduction
Problem can be determined as a situation in which one is unsatisfied or is not happy because
he or she fails to fulfil their requirements. In order to solve the problems, it is required to take up
appropriate steps that will be suitable enough to make sure that use of technologies are done to
overcome the situation. On the other hand, problem solving is considered to be the process that
enables to identify the issues faced and developing an effective plan and implementing them so
as to meet the satisfaction level.
Further, Robots are automated machine that are programmable by computer. These are
performed by various serious of complex tasks by humans that are highly effective and accurate.
There are use of external system that are used to control robots. This is considered as a system
that consists of sensors, power supplies, software, etc.
Problem Identification
In this modern world, the rate of accidents are raising tremendously. One of the reason for
this is high speeding, lack of experience among drivers, lack of control over vehicle, etc. Further,
majority of countries are facing issues of accidents among cars. Another reason for such type of
accidents are because of people who drink and drive (Gechter, Contet and Koukam, 2010). The
high extent rate of accidents can be reduced when proper safety measures are taken. However, it
is identified that due to some or the other reason people end up killing themselves. With aging
there are problems identified among people related to vision, judgment for speed, controlling,
etc. All these reasons can be determined to be the main reasons due to which people get in
trouble and meet with accidents and at worst case scenario, people die. There are many basic
rules and that are to be followed by drivers like maintaining the speed limit, following signals,
1

etc. All these important laws that are made so that effective management of vehicles are possible.
In spite of all these aspects being followed there are many errors that occur from the side of
drivers due to which there are no changes identified in the rate of accidents (Leger, Bayon and
Faraut, 2014). In accordance with social aspects, there are traffic police who make sure that life
of people can be protected best possible. However, it is identified that traffic police fail to control
the traffic and thus it ends up with accidents. All these issues that are being faced can be solved
when appropriate techniques are being implemented.
Problem Solving Technique
As it is being asked to make use of robots in order to overcome the issues that are
currently. It was in the year when 2004 when use of driverless cars were introduced. However, it
was a complete failure (Takahashi, Shimizu and Kato, 2010). Use of robots can be done so as to
driver cars and they can also be used as drivers for taxi. All these are effective enough to make
sure that rate of problems that are being faced can be solved. For driving car, it is required to
have sensory skills in order to control the speed and vehicles that are nearby. With the help of
robots, the rate of traffic and accidents can be controlled in effective manner. However, there are
some of the health and safety and legal hurdles that are needed to be resolved. If the robot is able
to replace humans in driving, then proper use of time for traffic controllers can be done. Apart
from this, even at high speed through the sensors that robots have will be effective enough to
detect the car nearby (Verschueren, De Bruyne and Diehl, 2014). Further, the requirement or
destination can be covered as per the seep that is being asked by the owner. Further, there are no
ageing factors that affects and so it will be permanent solution for the errors that are generally
make by human beings while they are driving.
