Technology Trends to Watch in 2024 The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence Part 2 - Convergence of AI and Robotics
■ Convergence of AI and Robotics
The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics is one of the important trends in modern technological advancements, leading automation technologies to new heights.
In particular, in smart factories, robots controlled by AI are in charge of complex manufacturing processes and greatly improve productivity and efficiency, and "smart factory" is,
It is an "intelligent production plant" and a "future factory" that installed the Internet of Things (IoT) on facilities and machines in factories to collect process data in real time, analyze it, and control it by itself.
The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics allows robots to think, learn, and perform more complex tasks like humans. This convergence is transforming robots from simple automatic machines to autonomous and intelligent systems.
Below are some of the key areas where AI and robotics are combined.
① autonomous robot
Autonomous robots are robots that have the ability to make decisions for themselves in a given environment.
They use sensors and AI algorithms to recognize their surroundings and determine the optimal behavior accordingly.
For example, autonomous vehicles can recognize road conditions, avoid other vehicles or pedestrians, and interpret traffic lights and traffic signs.
② industrial robots
Industrial robots play an important role in various industrial processes such as manufacturing, assembly, packaging, and inspection.
The integration of AI helps these robots to perform complex tasks more efficiently and accurately.
For example, robotic arms can accurately identify individual parts through cameras and computer vision systems, and perform precise tasks on assembly lines.
③ service robot
Service robots are robots that serve the general public or specific industries.
For example, hotels provide room service to guests, or hospitals supporting patients.
These robots require advanced natural language processing and emotion recognition for interaction with people, and in the consumer service industry, AI robots assist human employees in handling customer response and order processing.
④ a medical robot
The convergence of AI and robotics in healthcare comes in the form of surgical and diagnostic robots.
For example, the "Davinci Surgical Robot," a surgical robot used for robotic surgery, expands doctors' surgical techniques to enable more precise manipulation, and AI functions allow robots to analyze various data generated during surgery in real time and assist doctors in making decisions.
⑤ Search and Rescue Robot
In disaster relief operations, robots are used to find survivors in dangerous environments or to perform dismantling operations.
With AI, these robots can efficiently navigate, overcome obstacles, and plan optimal routes even in complex environments.
This convergence of AI and robotics makes robots more independent, efficient, and adaptable to diverse situations, laying the groundwork for robots to be more broadly integrated across our society and industry.
