Cirteria B

Robotics as an area of engineering is very broad, a robot can be from anything like a robotic arm found in a manufacturing plants, or robotic waiter found in many restaurants in countries such as Japan. However, the robots which seem to be more dominant robots in the economical scale are the ones found in manufacturing plants and factories, due to the fact that they are the most demanded robots today.

The robotic arm follows commands and can tell whether its should act or not. This shows us that it has somewhat of an A.I. (Artificial intelligence). The robotic arm is given somewhat of commands from a computer which is found externally or the more usual one which is found internally. The robot process the information through a camera or any sort or sensor, and is able to follow its commends without the initial state of the robot or the object which is being altered, being the same every single time. Thus making the robot adjust to its environment allowing it to work in many different situations. Robots nowadays are even able to correct their own mistakes and are able to communicate with every other robot found within the network thus allowing the next robot to correct or finish what the previous wasn’t able to do. This sort of communication and accuracy found in robotics is why they are more preferred to humans, due to the fact that robots are more efficient both in accuracy and, in time management. However, overall the main advantage robots have is that they are changing, evolving and getting better, more efficient, and less dependent on human maintenance.
