Due to the potential that robotics has in revolutionizing different industries, its applications are increasing in different industries. Examples of industries that are likely to embrace robotics are automobile, manufacturing, defence, and healthcare. One of the reasons why the defence industry is most likely to embrace robotics is because robots can go to places where humans cannot reach. In addition, robots are better used in the defence industry when the risk of losing lives is high. The reason why there is a high probability of embracing robotics in the healthcare industry is that robots can perform very complex surgeries as compared to humans.
AI is a technology that has been well embraced by many companies. From the two videos, my take is that even if AI will lead to the creation of jobs, the jobs that people will lose as a result of the implementation of AI outweighs the number of jobs that AI will generate. The most likely scenario is that the number of jobs that will be created as a result of AI will be few compared to the number of jobs that people will lose. One of the ways in which people should prepare for when they do not need to apply for more jobs is to find jobs that cannot be automated,
Designed and manufactured by the SoftBank robotics, pepper is a robot that can be able to interact with humans, and understand human emotions. Due to this, pepper is deployed in companies that deal with customers directly. One of the examples where pepper is being used is in two Belgian hospitals where the robots are used as receptionists (BBC, 2016). The hospitals are planning that in the next ten years, they will be able to deploy more robots. This will help the hospitals to serve patients better. The robots will help to deal with patients and will help to direct patients to different departments. Due to its ability to distinguish voices, it can distinguish the voice of a woman, man and a child. Thus, the patients will be well directed.
There has been a lot of developments in self-driving cars. Even if a number of developments were witnessed in 2019, 2020 has brought in new and exciting developments in self-driving cars. One of the developments in the development of a sensor that is able to have three dimensions of the road. This is important in order to ensure that car is balanced on the road as possible. The second development is the creation f a sensor by Sony know as a lidar vision sensor (Analyticsinsight, 2020). This is an important component in enhancing the safety of the car.
