You may be thinking that artificial intelligence will rise to power and control our lives sometime in the distant future, but you’re wrong! That’s pretty much what social media does today.
In this presentation, I will share my research on how robotics impact everyday life, how it’s helped during the pandemic and what might happen some time in the future.

*Unfortunately, this is all I could do due to lockdown and most of my research was actually about building a robot which is what would have been my final project*
Normally someone’s perception of a ‘robot’ is something like C-3PO from star wars and although there are technologies like that being created at the moment, a robot is any machine that completes a task traditionally done by humans, normally using some form of low level artificial intelligence to operate. Robots are more commonly used than you might think. Large industries use automated robots in factories to make things more precisely and efficiently than a human can, hospitals use them to complete intricate surgical operations and the police and military use them to complete dangerous tasks like bomb defusal.

Japan is the leading country in robotics development and uses robots in restaurants to make sushi and chop vegetables. There are lots of crime fighting robots that disarm traps and collect data on hostage situations. Roombas are robots that learn the exact dimensions of wherever they are hoovering so they can cover everywhere and avoid obstacles like furniture.

Robots have helped with everything to do with the pandemic from sanitising hospitals to making deliveries. In Kigali, Rwanda there is a team of robots at the medical centre, checking temperatures of people entering to prevent person to person contact. There is also a fully automated swab robot in development, germ zappers that use ultraviolet-c waves to compromise the molecular structure of germs. In Italy there are robots used to check up on patients without using protective equipment. A company called zipline created winged flying machines to drop protective equipment to hospitals.

This is a difficult question as we can only speculate as to what will happen in the future but still, I found a blog with 10 things that technology might improve in the fairly near future. The first is public security allowing for suspicious activity to be
reported faster. There may be robots helping teach students at school, working along side us and eventually replacing some jobs but in turn will also create the job of repairing the robots. Self driving cars may be a possibility but as many would argue, a bad idea. There would be improved healthcare robots who would act as a gp and there’s virtual reality which will be a part of the entertainment system.
