ROBOT & ENVIRONMENT

The history of robots has its origins in the ancient world. The modern concept began to be developed with the onset of the Industrial Revolution which allowed for the use of complex mechanics and the subsequent introduction of electricity. This made it possible to power machines with small compact motors. In the early 20th century, the modern formulation of a humanoid machine was developed. Today, it is now possible to envisage human sized robots with the capacity for near human thoughts and movement. So now days robot is powerful device that can be use in required location where man can not do work easily. But there are several disadvantage found in

Real life. The disadvantage of robotics in the home is its high cost of for both the production and the purchasing.Robots cost millions of dollars to build and companies are investing vast amounts of money in the involved research and programming. Robotics is currently being used in factories across the world and people have been increasingly losing their jobs as robots become more efficient and precise than humans (N/A Author, 2011). Even now, robots used such as the “Roomba ” and “Scooba” cost a significant amount of money, and they just do trivial tasks. And if companies keep investing in this business and it eventually fails, it could cause catastrophic fall in the stock market. Even today, people depend on technology and could not bear to go a day without it, and this technology is nowhere near as nifty and advanced as robots. An excellent example of what could come to be is the Disney film Wall-E (Morris, 2008). In this film, society is falling apart and the humans are depending on robots to rebuild it. On a smaller scale, this could start in the homes across the world. Simple things such as getting up from the couch to make dinner and cleaning the house keep us active and moving. If robots complete all of these tasks ,what will make us move from the couch and stay active? Our dependence on robots will cause huge changes in society, and most definitely not for the better human interaction and development is a must for survival. These is a one face of robots but another side robots is very useful in a real life . Which can do any operation with the help of robots .there are several sectors where robots do works perfectly ,we can say that advantages of the robots. For example

•Robots will take over work, which humans don’t like to do. This includes most dangerous tasks like working in a mine or disgusting tasks ( e g. cleaning the toilet ). •Robots can discover places (e.g. deep sea, space exploration, deep earth) which are impossible to discover for humans under normal conditions. •Robots mostly work in the industry because they are more efficient, precise and accurate than humans, for example the car industry. Or they often help humans with their work in the industry.

This is all fine because this shows the relation between human and robots but one question arises can we make relation between robots and environment ? I think yes today's this concept is necessary and it is possible by human.We can make various types of robots that can helps to plant and environment .there are some type of robots made only for agriculture purpose such as e g .the “agribot” is a robot deployed for agricultural purposes. The main area of

Page 4: robotics

application of robots in agriculture is at the harvesting stage. Fruit picking robots, driverless tractor / sprayer, and sheep shearing robots are designed to replace human labor . Robots can be used for other horticultural tasks such as pruning, weeding, spraying and monitoring. Robots can also be used in livestock applications (livestock robotics) such as milking, washing and castrating. In this way we can make perfect relationship between robots and environment , if you will so like this then give one comment. “yes”
