Robotics
While you may think that robotics has yet to impact daily life, you may be surprised as to how involved robots are in this modern day and age.
Robotics has expanded what the human race can do, as well as the level of efficiency and capacity we are able to work. But as these autonomous beings become more advanced and capable, work becomes faster and qualitatively better.
Customer Service
All across the globe, restaurants are adding robot technology to their workforce. McDonald's, for example, made headlines when they began putting touch-screen terminals in their physical locations so customers could order faster and even be able to customize their orders right down to the very condiments they want. Other food establishments have employed robots for back-end tasks including making sushi and chopping vegetables.
Law Enforcement
Tactical drones are now being deployed to scout dangerous areas as well as fit through tight spaces where humans cannot. Remote controlled robots can reduce casualties by analyzing suspect locations for any booby traps and armed personnel. Many advanced robots are even programmed to disarm bombs and mines. This reduces the potential harm that befall police officers and special units who face bomb threats and terrorist attacks.Related articles
Medicine
Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are now training robots to distribute medication to intended patients. Some are even trained to sterilize and organize key equipment used for diagnostic procedures and surgical operations. By streamlining these manually intensive processes, hospitals can better serve patients and, as a result, improve longevity of life. Aside from hospitals that care for humans, robots are also finding work in vet clinics where realistic autonomous pets are being used to train veterinary students. The Bolton vet clinic uses some of the same technology in pulmonary and oxygen saturation monitors as they do in hospitals.Home and Office Maintenance
Households have always been burdened by chores, namely vacuuming floors and sweeping them dry afterwards. Robotic cleaners are now an accessible technology for households who wish to maintain the cleanliness of their home without sacrificing time and effort on a regular basis. Aside from indoor robot cleaners, you've also got those that clean around the property, cutting and mulching grass and even analyzing your pool's filtration system to see its remaining lifespan.
While the science behind robotics remains a gray area for many average Joes, there is no denying that the industry has gradually revolutionized the way we live. Knowing how these unsung heroes operate even at the most basic level can empower people with more knowledge and interest to work in the furthering of the industry.
