Robotics and AI: Synergies and Impact on Automation

EasyChair Preprint 12574

Abstract

The fields of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have experienced significant advancements in recent years, leading to a convergence that has revolutionized the capabilities of automation. This paper explores the synergies between robotics and AI and their profound impact on various domains of automation.

The integration of robotics and AI has enabled the development of intelligent robotic systems capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting in dynamic and uncertain environments. AI techniques such as machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing have empowered robots with the ability to understand and adapt to complex tasks and interact with humans more effectively.

One significant area where the synergies between robotics and AI have had a transformative impact is industrial automation. Traditional manufacturing processes are being revolutionized by robotics systems that can perform intricate tasks with precision, speed, and accuracy. AI algorithms enable these robots to optimize their actions based on real-time data, improving efficiency and productivity across various industries.

Beyond industrial automation, robotics and AI have also made significant contributions to sectors such as healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and logistics. In healthcare, robotic systems equipped with AI capabilities assist in surgical procedures, rehabilitation, and elderly care. Autonomous vehicles, powered by AI algorithms, are reshaping the transportation industry, promising enhanced safety, reduced congestion, and improved energy efficiency.

However, the integration of robotics and AI also raises important considerations. Ethical and societal implications, such as job displacement and privacy concerns, need to be carefully addressed. Ensuring the responsible and safe deployment of AI-driven robotic systems requires regulatory frameworks, standards, and ongoing research.
