An overview of emerging trends in robotics and automation

Abstract

Robotics has experienced significant growth and development over the past few decades, with the first industrial robots introduced in the 1950s. As technology advances, robotics has become more intelligent, smart, and flexible, with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Robots are now being integrated into various fields, including healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and space exploration. Robots are set to revolutionize our daily lives, transforming interactions and work processes as technology advances. Emerging trends in robotics, such as AI and ML, soft robotics, and swarm robotics, can transform industries and improve efficiency. The future of robotics and automation promises safer workplaces, improved healthcare, and enhanced environmental sustainability. Society must adapt to this changing landscape, requiring continuous learning and upskilling to remain relevant in the workforce.
