Abstract:

Robotics and automation have revolutionized the manufacturing industry and are now making their way into various other industries such as healthcare, agriculture, and construction. These advancements have led to increased efficiency, accuracy, and safety in various applications. One of the major advancements in robotics and automation is the development of collaborative robots or cobots. Cobots are designed to work alongside humans and assist them in various tasks. They have sensors and safety features that allow them to stop or slow down when they detect humans in their workspace. This makes them ideal for applications such as assembly, packaging, and material handling. Another major advancement is in the field of autonomous vehicles.
