BEYOND SCIFI
When we hear “robot,” the mind often leaps to dramatic sci-fi scenarios. Some may look to the Apple TV+ movie Finch, and others will consider Black Mirror as the strange but often realistic future from writer Charlie Brooker begins to play out. The reality is both more profound and more integrated into our daily lives.
Robotics has evolved from the realms of science fiction to the factory floors and beyond. These machines, defined by their autonomous operation, are not confined to human-like forms but encompass various designs tailored to diverse tasks. We’ve already got self-driving vehicles and automated calls from Google, and in the years ahead, we’re going to see the further rise of what Nvidia CEO calls “Physical AI”.
From healthcare to home life, manufacturing to military, the scope of robotics is vast. In healthcare, robots assist in surgeries deliver supplies, and even fight pandemics. Home robots range from vacuuming floors to assisting digital assistants. The manufacturing sector, a pioneer in robotics, utilizes these machines for many tasks, including welding and packaging.
In logistics, robots ensure efficiency in warehouses and delivery processes. Space exploration and military applications showcase robots’ capabilities in extreme environments, from Mars rovers to explosive detection units. Even entertainment and travel are being redefined by robotics, with toy robots and autonomous vehicles now commonplace and no longer the strange, otherworldly beings we were scared of.
