These robots are designed to help humans with daily tasks like vacuuming, mowing the lawn, or serving food. Industrial: Industrial robots are used on assembly lines to perform repetitive tasks like welding or painting. They can lift heavy objects and work in hazardous environments. Service: Service robots are designed to assist humans in public places like hospitals, airports, or stores. They provide information, guide people, or transport items. Some robots are autonomous and can function independently, while others require remote control by a human operator. The future of robotics includes humanoid robots, self-driving vehicles, and nanobots operating at the microscopic level. As robots become more advanced, they

1. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The field of computer science known as artificial intelligence (AI) attempts to develop
computer systems that can mimic or simulates human senses , thought , processes and actions . These
include reasoning , learning from past actions and using senses such as vision and touch . Artificial
intelligence that corresponds to human intelligence is a long way off . However , several tools that
emulate human senses , problem solving and information processing have been developed .
These modern application of artificial intelligence are designed to help people and
organizations become more productive . Many of these tools have practical applications for business ,
medicine , law and so on . In the past , computer used calculating power to solve structured problems ,
which can be broken down into a series of a well-defined steps . People-using intuition ,reasoning and
memory-were better at solving unstructured problems ,whether building a product or approving a loan.
organizations have long been able to computerize the tasks once performed by clerks . Now knowledge-
intensive work and unstructured problems ,such as activity performed by many managers ,are being
automated .

2. Three areas in which human talents and abilities have been enhanced with
“computerized intelligence”:

3. Virtual reality
virtual reality is an artificial , or stimulated ,reality generated in 3-D by a computer .
Virtual reality is also commonly known as VR , artificial reality ,or hardware including
headgears and gloves . The headgears has earphones and three dimensional stereoscopic
screens (one type is called Eye phones ) . The gloves has sensors that collect data about
your hand movements (one type is called data glove ) . Coupled with software ,this
interactive sensory equipment lets you immerse yourself in a computer-generated world.

4. Virtual reality modeling language (VRML) is used to create real time animated 3-D
scenes . Hundreds of sites exist on the Web with virtual reality applications .users are
able to experience these applications with browsers that support (VRML) .
Creating virtual reality programs once required very-high-end software costing several
thousands of dollars . Recently several lower cast yet powerful authoring programs have
been introduced . One of the best known is Second Life from Linden Labs ,which allows
users to create animated characters to represent themselves and to develop their own
environment .

5. KNOWLEDGE-BASED (EXPERT)SYSTEM
People who are expert in particular area-certain kinds of medicine , accounting ,
engineering and so on-are generally well-paid for their specialized knowledge .
Unfortunately for their clients and customers , these experts are expensive , not always
available and hard to replace when they move on .
Knowledge based expert system are a type of artificial intelligence that uses a
database to provide assistance to users . These systems use a database or a input to
formulate recommendation and decisions . The sequence of processing is determined
by the interaction of the user and the knowledge base .

6. Many expert system use so-called fuzzy logic , which allows users to respond to
questions in a very humanlike way .
Over the past decade , expert systems have been developed in areas such as medicine ,
geology , architecture and nature . There are expert system with such name as Oil Spill
advisor , Bird Species Identification and even Midwives Assistants . A system called Grain
Marketing Advisor helps farmer select a best way to market their grain .

7. ROBOTICS
Robotics is the field of study concerned with developing and using robots . Robots
are computer-controlled machines that mimic the motor activities of living things . Some
robots can even solve unstructured problems using artificial intelligence .
Robots are used in factories , manufacturing , home security , the military and many
other fields of human endeavor . They differ from other assembly line machines because
they can be reprogrammed to do more than one task . Robots often are used to handle
dangerous ,repetitive tasks .
