MACHINE LEARNING APPLICATIONS AND USE CASES IN OUR DAILY LIFE.

Today, artificial intelligence and machine learning have become indispensable components of robotics. Today's robotic robots are part of the new age industrial revolution, which brings in most of the advanced technologies we see around us. Artificial intelligence (AI) is empowered to disrupt virtually every industry, including industrial robotics. Robots are used globally in almost all sectors like the automotive and manufacturing industry, Healthcare, Maintenance, Material handling, etc.
Robotics is a rapidly growing market, and the need for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in robotics is increasing. Robots are being trained, and their accuracy is increasing using precise machine-learning techniques. Robots can learn from artificial intelligence how to perform tasks like grasping objects, understanding spatial relationships, computer vision, motion control, and other tasks that require them to interact with the world around them. Artificial intelligence and machine learning will expand the boundaries of robotics even further.

Robots aid them in comprehending and coping with new information and instances. Four categories can be broadly applied to these functions:
Vision: With the help of AI, Robots can visualize and recognize patterns they have never seen before. AI not only makes detection smoother, but it also analyses these patterns much more precisely than conventional robotics.
Grasping: Machine learning and artificial intelligence give robots guidance based on their understanding of the best way to grasp an object.
Motion Control: Controlling locomotive parameters is essential for giving a robot a human-like appearance. Robotics is blessed by machine learning in this regard because it helps make obstacle awareness and dynamic interaction possible.
Data: Every project depends on data; only accurate data can ensure success.
The current generation of machine learning and robotics integration is thought to be the most potent pairing in the history of technological development. The industrial sector, for instance, is the one that uses robotics and further automation the most. This ensures validity, accuracy, and the absence of minor errors while reducing time and labor-intensive tasks. Using simple, conventional robots would compromise the facility's security in such a crowded workspace. This is where machine learning and artificial intelligence are helpful.
Similarly, machine learning trains the robots to evolve quickly and learn from their mistakes, negating the need for continuous human intervention and parallel effort. This guarantees robotics' adaptability. Along with these implications, AI and ML unquestionably increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes, particularly for large labor-intensive businesses, and they also expand the potential of robots.

Various technological branches are combined to train robots to this level of functionality, including deep learning (a subset of machine learning), vision-based methods, semantic segmentation, etc.

APPLICATIONS OF MACHINE LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ROBOTICS IN DIFFERENT SECTORS.

Robots are ideal for tasks that require precision and accuracy and do not get bored quickly. They are also ideal for hazardous work because they never get tired and cannot be killed. These benefits have led to numerous robot applications in almost every industry imaginable - from agriculture to space exploration.
As mentioned above, AI and ML increase the effectiveness of robotics, and in the current global environment, they have impacted every industry. Here is a quick look at some industries where robotics is benefiting from AI and ML.

MANUFACTURING
In manufacturing, many routine and repetitive tasks don't require using the mind, such as drilling, assembly, packing, etc. Robots can quickly complete these tasks, leaving humans to handle mentally demanding and creative tasks. Under the direction and supervision of a human, these robots can be trained to carry out these monotonous and repetitive tasks with accuracy. This option is ideal for risky manufacturing procedures that might harm people.

WAREHOUSES
Robots are increasingly used to working in warehouses because they reduce operational costs and overhead. Robotics are programmed to resemble humans and run-on trained algorithms to prevent errors. Using robotics has clear advantages, such as reduced errors, adaptability, and safety.

SAFETY
Robots can help investigate crimes such as armed robberies, thefts, domestic violence, fraud, hit-and-run accidents, etc. In this field, the American company Knightscope is well-known for its autonomous security robots, which can give human security guards practical real-time intelligence. Companies involved in robotics are experimenting with pairing human security consultants with robot guards.

THE STUDY OF SPACE
There are activities in space that astronauts should avoid at all costs. Robots are a great option in these circumstances because there is no risk of losing human life. For instance, the Mars Rover is an autonomous robot that travels on Mars and captures images of exciting or significant Martian rock formations.

ENTERTAINMENT
Robots are also a popular attraction in the entertainment industry. They can be used behind the scenes in movies and television shows to manage the camera, provide special effects, etc. They can be employed for repetitive, routine tasks that are unsuitable for humans because, after all, the film industry is a creative one. Robots can also perform stunts that are extremely dangerous for people to perform but look fabulous in an action movie. The magical experiences of tourists are being improved by using autonomous robots in theme parks like Disney World.

HEALTHCARE
The healthcare industry has undergone significant change thanks to robots. And everything has improved! They can assist doctors in performing procedures with greater precision, serve as prosthetic limbs, give patients therapy, etc. There are countless options. The da Vinci robot is one example of this, which can assist surgeons in carrying out complex procedures on the heart, head, neck, and other delicate areas. Exoskeletons are another type of robotic device that has been developed and can be used to help people recovering from spinal injuries, strokes, etc., with additional support.

AQUATIC EXPLORATION
Robots are a fantastic option for exploring locations that are difficult for humans to access, like the ocean's depths! Deep in the ocean, intense water pressure prevents humans from going there and limits the depth to which machines like submarines can travel. Now that specialized robots have been created; it is possible to explore the ocean's mysterious depths finally. These remote-controlled robots can explore the ocean's depths and gather information and pictures of aquatic plant and animal life.

FOOD PREPARATION
Robotic chefs can prepare food using a wide variety of recipes. All that needs to be done by humans is to give the robot pre-packaged containers containing every ingredient required for that recipe. One such robotics company, Moley Robotics, has developed a robotic kitchen with a robot that can prepare meals just like a professional chef.

CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
To improve their aesthetic appeal, humanoid robots are created. They are mainly employed in the customer service industry. A humanoid robot named Nadine in Singapore can remember people from previous interactions, make eye contact, shake hands, carry on a conversation based on prior interactions, etc.

DEFENCE
Robots are also used extensively in the military. They can be used as armed systems to attack the opposing forces, as drones to keep watch over the enemy, or as medics to support allying forces. The MAARS (Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System), which resembles a tank equipped with tear gas, lasers to confuse opponents, and even a grenade launcher for emergencies, is one of the most well-known robots used in the military. DOGO is a tactical combat robot with a camera for spying on the enemy's activities and a 9-millimeter pistol for emergencies.

CONCLUSION:
In Robotics, we use Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to help robots better understand their environment, make decisions, and interact with humans and other machines. Robotics has recently gained massive popularity because of its many application fields, such as military, healthcare, defence, service industries, etc.
Rapid advancements are being made in AI and Machine learning robotics. This overview exemplifies how the two technologies could benefit future robots.
Hence, Robotics is a rapidly evolving field. As robotics applications expand, robotics is getting more important in our daily lives. Artificial intelligence and machine learning play a significant role in robotics with the advancement of computer technology and its application in different areas.
