 Welcome to My YouTube Channel

In this video, we will talk about The Future of Robotics: 5 Robots That Will Amaze You"

When we think of robots, we might imagine sci-fi-inspired, human-like automatons. While these types of machines are still mostly still fictional, there are many other types of robots operating in the world today. But what are robots? And how will they change the world? 

Here, we explore the history and types of robots, some pros and cons of using them, and how they might shape the future. We’ll also outline some of the skills you’ll need to get started with robotics and highlight some courses to help you build your skills.  

What are robots? 

Let’s start with some definitions. Most of us are familiar with the concept of robots but may struggle to actually define them as separate entities from other types of machines. 

As we explore in our open step the nature of robots, robots are different from other machines because of how they interact with the world. They can make changes to their surroundings based on their actions and respond to the world around them. 

Robots are tools that can autonomously sense, reason, plan, and act. As well as performing tasks independently, they can also extend human capabilities, and mimic human actions. Ultimately, the word robot is derived from the Czech word robot, meaning forced labor.

What is robotics?

Robotics is the discipline of creating robots. It’s a multidisciplinary field where computer science, engineering, and technology all meet. Those working in robotics focus on the design, construction, operation, and use of robots in a host of different settings.

Traditionally, the field of robotics centers on creating robots to perform simple or repetitive tasks at scale or to function in hazardous conditions where humans would otherwise be unable to work. 

However, recent developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence mean that we may see an increase in human-to-robot interactions in the future.  

For those looking to get a more thorough introduction to robotics, our online course from the University of Reading explores the history, anatomy, and intelligence of robots.  

Advantages and disadvantages of robots

The field of robotics offers solutions to many different problems. As we’ll see, the future of robots could change the world we live in. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t downsides to the technology. 

As explored in our open step from the University of Reading, there are various pros and cons of using robots in our modern world: 

Advantages of robots

They can offer increased productivity, efficiency, quality, and consistency in certain settings.

Unlike humans, robots don’t get bored.

Until they wear out, they can repeat the same process continuously.

Disadvantages of robots 

In some industries, robots are replacing human jobs, which can create economic problems.

On the whole, robots can only do what they are told to do, meaning they can’t improvise (although AI and machine learning is changing this). 

1: Robotics in public security

Artificial technology for predicting and detecting crime might seem far-fetched, but it's quite possible for the future we’re looking at. Drone footage, for instance, will make that happen soon. In addition, automatic recognition of suspicious activities is already a reality for camera-based security systems.

This technology will change society in a very important way: it will allow law enforcement officials to act quickly whenever suspicious behavior has been spotted.

2: Robots in education

The line between classrooms and individual learning settings is already starting to blur. As Kendra Roberts, an educational expert from Essays.ScholarAdvisor, explains, “A single teacher does not have the capacity to meet the needs of personalized learning for every single student in the classroom. Computer-based learning is already changing things in that matter. It’s not replacing the teacher, but it enables students to learn at their own pace.”

Robots will boost the process of personalized learning. NAO, the humanoid robot, is already forming bonds with students from around the world. It comes with important senses of natural interaction, including moving, listening, speaking, and connecting.

 

3: Robots at home

Cloud-connected home robots are already becoming part of our lives. We can set up the vacuum cleaner to do the chore for us, and we can schedule a warm home-cooked meal to be ready by the time we’re finished with work. Multi-function robotic cookers are able to fry, steam, bake, slow cook, and perform any other action without our intervention. We just set them up.

These cloud-connected robots are likely to evolve into more advanced versions. We expect to see speech comprehension and increased interactions with humans in the upcoming years. These developments may end up changing the entire look and feel of our homes!

 

4: Robots as coworkers

Robots will have a profound effect on the workplace of the future. They'll become capable of taking on multiple roles in an organization, so it’s time for us to start thinking about the way we’ll interact with our new coworkers.

The machines will likely evolve more in terms of voice recognition, so we’ll be communicating with them through voice commands. This is how futurist Nikolas Badminton expects things to develop: “You’re probably going to walk into an office and your system’s been churning over the last couple of hours considering what’s been going on in business, your role, your job, what you need to do that day, and probably offer up several ideas about the right direction of what to do.”

Sounds like a pretty achievable future, doesn’t it?

5: Robots might take our jobs

Whether we like it or not, robots have already replaced many people in their jobs. The jobs in office administration, logistics, and transport are also at risk of being replaced. Remember autonomous vehicles? Well, we might see them in the form of big trucks on the roads in the future.

A study by Ball State University predicted that many occupations are at risk of being automated, including insurance underwriters, telemarketers, and tax return preparers. To be more precise, robots are expected to take over half of all low-skilled jobs.
