Why Does Artificial Intelligence Matter in Robotic Technology?

The goal of the robotics field is to develop smart machines that can help people in a variety of ways.

Robotics is a subset of AI. With the help of AI, robots become more ‘intelligent’ and have a high level of autonomy. Although related, the two technologies are not the same. Robotics is the creation of robots to perform tasks autonomously, whereas AI is how systems mimic the human mind to make decisions and 'learn'.

The primary areas of robotics are:

• Interaction with the operator
• Locomotion or mobility
• Effectors and manipulators
• Programming, sensing, and perception.

Computer vision, natural language processing, and edge computing.

AI is used to enable navigation, detect and recognize objects, and grasp objects without human intervention.

AI may assist a robot in a variety of ways, from successfully navigating its environment to identifying items nearby or helping humans with tasks like drywall installation, bricklaying, and robotic surgery.
