Robotics is a multi-disiplinary domain which involves knowle
dge related to Mechanical\, Electrical and Computer Science Engineering. I
f there is one technological advancement that would certainly make living
easy and convenient\, Robotics and its allied technologies would be the an
swer. The brain of robots where they receive set of instructions that make
them perform tasks automatically is powered byArtificial Intelligence or
AI.
\nAs per reports by 2025 Artificial Intelligence will play an i
ntegral part across all major industries. Automated machines have taken ov
er the duties of dangerous and mundane jobs from humans allowing greater p
roductivity. Because robots never tire\, extra shifts have been added to f
actories. Farmers have taken advantage of new technology with automated ha
rvesters. The waste disposal industry has implemented robots in some of it
s dirtier jobs\, and the medical industry benefits from advancements in as
sisted surgical robotics. The idea of a factory with no human workers has
come to fruition. IBM runs a "lights off" factory completely staffed by fu
lly autonomous robots making keyboards.
\nOne of the significant outc
ome of Robotics are Unmanned aircraft like structure controlled by remotes
called Drones. These devices have a wide range of applications and are ra
pidly gaining in popularity. They are still in their infancy stage in term
s of mass adoption and usage\, but have already broken through rigid tradi
tional barriers in industries and governmental organizations.
Fr
om quick deliveries at rush hours to scanning an unreachable military base
\, drones are proving to be extremely beneficial in places where man canno
t reach or is unable to perform in a timely and efficient manner. Increasi
ng work efficiency and productivity\, decreasing workload and production c
osts\, improving accuracy\, refining service and resolving security issues
on a vast scale are some of the best uses drones offer industries globall
y. Adoption of drone technology across industries leapt from the fad stage
to the mega-trend stage fairly quickly as more and more businesses starte
d to realize its potential\, scope\, and scale of global reach. Tech Organ
izations such as Amazon have already made a gaint leap by sending wishes a
nd parcel gifts to its cutomers using a Drone.
\nIt is the need of
the hour that the young student community must be aware of these advances
in technology. Few of the prestigious colleges in India have taken these t
echnolgies to students and we at AVCE are proud to be one among them. Anna
i Vailankanni college of Engineering\, Kanyakumari has established the Rob
otics centre of Excellence and have insisted the students in developing Dr
ones. Students from all streams of study have shown great Interest in deve
loping Drones and also they are incorporating additional technologies whic
h may better serve practical use cases. Theyare very enthusiastic in makin
g things happen as these technolgies not only gives knowledge but also giv
es so much Fun. AVCE is organizing a National level Drone Competition may
be first of its kind in the district in the month of February.
