Introduction
Robotics has been increasing the automation and artificial intelligence in various industry
in all over the world. The world of automation and artificial intelligence has been creating
opportunities for people working in various fields. Automation devices has been maintaining
support of the human being. Robots are the main milestones for artificial intelligence theory. The
use of robotics has been creating various opportunities for the industry in the market.
This report deals with the accuracy characteristics of the robotics. The accuracy factors of
the robots in various fields has been explained in the report. The advantages and disadvantages
of the robotics have been discussed in the report.
Robotics
Robots have been example of the automation systems that have been creating a lot of
opportunities in the market. Robots have been maintaining different kinds of work in the
industry. Technology has been blushing the importance of robots in the market (Corke, 2017).
These day robots have been used in almost all of fields in the market. The study of robotics have
been provided in many universities for developing their students for future. However, robots has
been replacing the human work in the industry. The ease of working condition has been preferred
by the human in the industries (Kehoe et al., 2015). Various heavy works have been by robots
that has help in decreasing the human error in the work.
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. The awareness of the use of

robots in human workplace have been beneficial for the production of the companies in the
market (Winder et al., 2016). Robots can be used for various purposes in the industry. The
human-robot interaction have been creating a lot of opportunities for the companies in the
market. The technological enhancement in the market has been maintaining the use and up
gradation of robots in the market (Majidi, 2014). Artificial intelligence refers to investigating
intelligent problem solving behavior by developing computer systems. However. This
technology has been mostly in use by the researchers in the lab. The use of technology has been
an important aspect in the development of new devices and artifacts.
Accuracy in robotics
Accuracy focuses on the ability of robots for targeting on the focus point with proper
accuracy. The work volume in the industry requires too much accuracy in results. Therefore,
robots have to be accurate n its reading and analyzing the calculative analysis of data and
findings. The accuracy in robotic system depends in the mechanical inaccuracies and computer
control algorithms (Meier, Honegger & Pollefeysx, 2015). The mechanical inaccuracies are
caused mainly by backlash in the manipulators joints and bending of the links. The backlash
exists in gear mechanisms, in lead screws, and in actuators of hydraulic drives. The use of
different control algorithm have been creating a lot of facilities and functions in the robots. The
computer controlled robots are maintained with proper accuracy in their work (Johnson et al.,
2015). Therefore, these robots are used in critical operations in the industry. The errors in the
robots need to be minimum as possible for increasing the accuracy in their work. The position
accuracy depends on the position of the robots in the workplace envelope. The codes and
algorithm used in the robotics needs to be accurate in its analysis (Saha 2014).

Advantages and Disadvantages of robotics
Robots are used in various purposes in the industry as there are some advantages of using
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.
 Robots can be used in performing assembly work having high precision and density
(Siciliano & Khatib, 2016). The quality of products in the industry might get increased
with involvement of robots.
 Robots can help in replacing workers without laboring costs and robots helps in
achieving stable production rate as robots can work for late nights with no leaves, resign
and strike.
 The program installed in the robots can be easily modified that might help in providing
flexibility in the work of robots.
 They can work in unfavorable circumstances, e.g. removing the high-temperature artifact
from a casting machine, welding task, spraying task, transportation of chemicals, etc.,
such work will affect the health of the workers (Alessandro et al., 2016).
 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.
Despite so many advantages of robots, there are several limitations of robots.

ROBOTICS
 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.
 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).
 It is very time consuming to compile the operation programs for robots. Each degree of
freedom should be tested repeatedly and the position should be set. Therefore a robot is
more suitable to be used in large scale production line. It is not suitable for production in
small quantity.
 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.
