Robotics and Autonomous Systems. Innovations, Challenges, and Future Prospects

Scientific Study from the year 2025 in the subject Computer Sciences - Artificial Intelligence, language: English, abstract: The science of robotics deals with devices that carry out activities automatically or semi-automatically using preset, adaptive programming and algorithms. These devices, also referred to as robots, are either operated by humans or fully controlled by computer programs and algorithms. The construction, design, and programming of robots are all included in the broad idea of robotics. These robots interact directly with the actual world, and they are frequently used in place of people to carry out repetitive and boring jobs. Robots can be grouped according to their size, field of use, or objective. Robotics is only one aspect of automation. It indicates that a procedure is carried out entirely or in part without the need for human intervention. Instead, only electrical or mechanical devices and pre-programmed or adaptable computer programs are used to run the process. The term "predefined applications" refers to algorithms, where every operation is predetermined and carried out autonomously, irrespective of any unanticipated environmental changes. The ability of the algorithm to modify its behavior in response to modifications in the environment or process is known as adaptive automation. Since robots are typically a component of automated systems, robotics and automation go hand in hand. Even if automation can exist without robots and robots can be utilized with little to no automation in some situations, the two are like identical twins, each with their own unique personality.
