| Summary: | With the advancement in robotic technology over the years, the use of robots has
become more ubiquitous in our daily lives. Robots can be found in all shapes and
sizes from large industrial robots used in manufacturing to the common vacuum
cleaner robots you can find in people’s houses today. According to the International
Federation of Robotics (IFR) the annual installations of industrial robots globally hit
an “All Time High” at 517,000 in the year 2021 despite the logistic issues faced due
to the pandemic. The term “robot” was coined in 1920 in Prague by a Czech
writer named Karel Čapek and was used in the naming of a fictious company called
“Rossum’s Universal Robots” that made artificial people. Nowadays the term
robot is used to describe an “autonomous machine capable of sensing its
environment, carrying out computations to make decisions, and performing actions
in the real world.” |
