Robotics Overview: Advantages, Disadvantages, and Human Interaction

This report provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of robotics. It begins by highlighting the increasing role of robotics in automating various industries globally, emphasizing the opportunities created by automation systems. The report delves into the concept of human-robot interaction, which is becoming increasingly common in the workplace, fostering enhanced communication. It then discusses the importance of accuracy in robotics, focusing on the ability of robots to target points precisely. Furthermore, the report outlines several advantages of robots, such as their ability to perform repetitive tasks, work continuously, increase manufacturing speed, reduce costs, minimize material wastage, and improve product quality. However, it also acknowledges the limitations of robots, including their difficulty in handling tasks requiring high levels of observation and precision, as well as the high costs associated with their implementation, particularly for small-scale factories. The report concludes by emphasizing the significant contributions of robots across various industrial departments, highlighting the opportunities they create and the importance of human-robot interaction. The report also includes a list of relevant references.

Robotics

Introduction
• Robotics has been increasing the automation and
artificial intelligence in various industry in all over the
world.

Robotics
• Robots have
been example
of the
automation
systems that
have been
creating a lot
of
opportunities
in the market.

Human-Robot interaction
• It has been becoming common approach for humans
and robots to share their workplace. It has led to
increase the communication between human and
robots.

Accuracy in robotics
• Accuracy focuses on the ability of robots for targeting on
the focus point with proper accuracy.

Advantages of robots
• Robots help in carrying out several tasks in repetitive
manner for human beings.
• Robots do not take rest and can work for long hours
continuously that helps in increasing the productivity.

Contd..
• The manufacturing speed can be increased and the cost
be reduced when robots are used.
• Using robots may minimize the wasting of materials.
• Using robots can improve the quality of a product by its
ability to assemble precise components.

Disadvantages
• There are various limitations in the sense of the robots.
It is difficult for them to maintain task with lot of
observations.
• Robots cannot do high precision tasks including
designing and gold jewelry and making pottery.

Contd..
• The abilities of a robot can be expressed by good
mechanical technician operator.
• The cost for setting up a robot for industrial use is very
high. Medium scale and small-scale factories may not be
able to afford (Siciliano & Khatib, 2016).

Contd..
• The space for factories using robots must be large
enough for them to work to avoid accidents.

Conclusion
• It can be concluded that robots have been helping in
many departments of industry. Robots have been
creating different opportunities in the industries. The
human-robot interaction has been helping in increasing
the communication between human and robots in the
industry. There are various advantages of the robots
described in the reports. Despite of this there are
various limitations of robots explained in the report.
