i +  FIELDS WHERE ROBOTS ARE USED

                  Since technological advancements there are many areas where these robots are being used.
                  Education, healthcare and many such areas where robots are successfully implemented.
                  Usually robots are assigned to specific tasks so let us now understand different fields

                  where robots are used in this chapter.
                  Security and Surveillance


                  Robots are being deployed as security guards to protect
                  humans. These robotic security guards work in real time
                  and have actionable intelligence. They can help with crimes

                  like armed robberies, domestic violence, fraud, hit and run
                  cases, etc. Flyability is world’s first collision-tolerant flying
                  robot which can fly safely close to people.


                                                    Manufacturing


                                                    Since 1960 the manufacturing industries are using robots
                                                    for different purposes. Robotic arms which are capable to
                                                    perform  multiple  tasks  such  as  welding,  cutting,  lifting,
                                                    sorting,  etc.  are  used  in  factories.  Unimate  was  the  first

                                                    robot joined the assembly line in 1961. ArcWielding was a
                                                    robot wielding machine brought to use in 1980s. Material
                                                    handling robots are used to move, pack and select products.

                  Military


                  In military, robots have achieved remarkable success. Aerial
                  vehicles  like  Predator  drone  are  able  to  launch  missiles
                  at  ground  target  without  a  pilot.  These  robots  are  also
                  capable of taking surveillance photographs. MAARS looks

                  like a tank and it contains tear gas and lasers to confuse
                  enemies. Another robot DOGO has camera to spy on the
                  activities of the enemy. The biggest advantages are they
                  don’t get tired, whatever the weather is or time they don’t

                  need shelter or sleep.
