ROBOTICS

AND
AUTOMATION

What is Robotics and Automation
Robotics - is a branch of engineering which incorporates
multiple disciplines to design, build, program and use
robotic machines.
is the study and application of machines that are designed
to operate autonomously and follow a set of instructions
given by a human operator or a computer program.
Robotics is the intersection of science, engineering and
technology that produces machines, called robots, that
replicate or substitute for human actions.
Robots - programmable machines that can complete
tasks, with varying levels of autonomy.
Types of Robotics:
Humanoid robots - are robots that look like or mimic human behavior. These
robots usually perform human-like activities (like running, jumping and
carrying objects), and are sometimes designed to look like us, even having
human faces and expressions.

Cobots - are robots designed to work alongside humans. These robots


prioritize safety by using sensors to remain aware of their surroundings,
executing slow movements and ceasing actions when their movements are
obstructed.
Industrial robots - automate processes in manufacturing environments like
factories and warehouses. Possessing at least one robotic arm, these robots
are made to handle heavy objects while moving with speed and precision. As
a result, industrial robots often work in assembly lines to boost productivity.

Medical robots - assist healthcare professionals in various scenarios and


support the physical and mental health of humans. These robots rely on AI and
sensors to navigate healthcare facilities, interact with humans and execute
precise movements. Some medical robots can even converse with humans,
encouraging people’s social and emotional growth.
Types of Robotics:
Agricultural robots - handle repetitive and labor-intensive tasks, allowing
farmers to use their time and energy more efficiently. These robots also
operate in greenhouses, where they monitor crops and help with harvests.
Agricultural robots come in many forms, ranging from autonomous tractors to
drones that collect data for farmers to analyze.

Micro-Robotics - is the study and development of robots on a miniature


scale. Often no bigger than a millimeter, micro-robots can vary in size,
depending on the situation.

Augmenting robots - also known as VR robots, either enhance current


human capabilities or replace the capabilities a human may have lost.

Software bots - or simply ‘bots,’ are computer programs which carry out tasks
autonomously. They are not technically considered robots
AUTOMATION
Automation - Automation means using computer software, machines or other
technology to carry out a task which would otherwise be done by a human
worker. There are many types of automation, ranging from the fully
mechanical to the fully virtual, and from the very simple to the mind-blowingly
complex.

There are two basic types of automation:

 SOFTWARE AUTOMATION

 INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
SOFTWARE AUTOMATION
- is the practice of creating software applications to reduce or eliminate
human intervention in repetitive, time-consuming IT tasks and cloud
operations. Software automation enables digital supply chain stakeholders
such as digital operations, DevSecOps, ITOps, and CloudOps teams to
orchestrate resources across the software development lifecycle to bring
innovative, high-quality products and services to market faster.

Other type of software automation:


Business Process Automation (BPA) - This is a high-level strategy to
streamline business processes. It involves formalizing all processes within the
business and then integrating them into automation software. Implementing
BPA can involve dramatically restructuring the business.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) - Despite its name, RPA has nothing at
all to do with physical robots. It refers to "software robots" which are
programmed to use computer programs in the same way as a human operator
would. They don't necessarily complete tasks in the most efficient way, but
they are easier to integrate into the existing business processes.
Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) - This is an extension of RPA which
uses artificial intelligence to learn how humans perform tasks when using a
computer program. This allows the "software robots" to perform more
intelligently than with the static rules used in RPA.

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
- is the use of control devices such as PC/PLCs/PACs etc. to control industrial
processes and machinery by removing as much labor intervention as possible,
and replacing dangerous assembly operations with automated ones. Industrial
automation is closely linked to control engineering.

Industrial automation - is the use of computer and machinery aided systems


to operate the various industrial operations in a well-controlled manner.
Depends on the operations involved, the industrial automation systems are
majorly classified into two types, namely process plant automation and
manufacturing automation.
Process Plant Automation
- in process industries, the product results from many chemical processes
based on some raw materials. Some of the industries are pharmaceuticals,
petrochemical, cement industry, paper industry, etc. Thus the overall process
plant is automated to produce the high quality, more productive, high reliable
control of the physical process variables.

Manufacturing Automation
- manufacturing industries make the product out of materials using
machines/robotics. Some of these manufacturing industries include textile and
clothing, glass and ceramic, food and beverages, paper making, etc. In
manufacturing systems have been using automation systems at every stage
such as material handling, machining, assembling, inspection, and packaging.
With the computer-aided control and industrial robotic systems, manufacturing
automation becomes very flexible and efficient.
