Robotics A Need

Future of Robotics & Artificial Intelligence. According to a Forrester report, robots will eliminate 6
percent of all jobs in the U.S. by 2021. McKinsey's assessment is even more expansive — they believe
that by 2030 one-third of American jobs could become automated.

Robots exist, but not as we think of them traditionally. There are so many expanding capabilities, so fast
- the catalyst for the revolution is how they come into people's lives. There is an IQ side and an EQ side,
so we have to feel comfortable before we really start seeing the robots of the future.

We need a pragmatic and optimistic approach to robots. If you look back over history we've got more
meaningful work done by challenging fears and creating new technology. For my grandmother, laundry
was a big task. She'd need to get water, boil it, wash and dry by hand...now we flip a switch.
Imagine a companion also knowing what news events you would be interested in, how to update you on
your sports team, tell you when you have a message from your husband or wife, or even diagnosing
medical problems so both yourself and doctors save time. Nothing in AI is fully cognizant at the
moment - it's programatic feeling and optimised algorithms. But that alone has incredible potential.

IOT&INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

The primary drive for automation IoT is to significantly reduce operating expenditures when automation
devices, sensors and actuators become Internet-enabled devices and can be controlled from anywhere.
computer-aided design model, usually by successively adding material layer by layer, which is why it is
also called additive manufacturing . Automation of factory or manufacturing or process plant improves
production rate through a better control of production. It helps to produce mass production by drastically
reducing assembly time per product with a greater production quality. Therefore, for a given labor input
it produces a large amount of output.

By taking advantage of automation technologies, industrial processes automatically adjusts process

variables to set or desired values using closed loop control techniques. Industrial automation increases
the level of safety to personnel by substituting them with automated machines in hazardous working
conditions.

Previously mechanized systems which required human intervention now use computerized control
systems for higher accuracy, precision and cost effectiveness. This practical qualification will ensure
you graduate job ready as an industrial automation engineering technologist.
AUTOMATION IN MEDICAL AND LABORATORY OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION.
” The Zeroth Law: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow
humanity to come to harm”-isaac Asimov.Every human tasks can be automated and
done even better than humans with machine learning.also the future work force is
absolutely differ from the present work force as a they have to be compete with
robots.Especially in this pandemic people searching human like robots to serve
patients,which is also an vision of the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi of
making India a self-reliant nation.we are committed to work for future by making
future-ready bots.

ROBOTICS MADE EASY.

Arduino Robotics plays a vital role in today's automation prototypes , you can learn
about electronics, mechanics, and software. It is a tiny computer on wheels. It comes
with a number of of project examples you can easily replicate, and it is a powerful
robotics platform that you can hack to perform all sorts of task.There are two
different boards on the Robot: the Control Board and the Motor Board.Each board
on the robot has a microcontroller, which is programmed independently of the
other. The Arduino Robot comes with a preloaded application that will ask for
your name, what you want to name the robot, and where you are located. Look at the
screen on the robot for information on how to input your information using the
buttons and potentiometer.

Laboratory robotics.
The main aim to employ robots in laboratory is it because 75% of lab works are
iterative and simple moving operation also it is hazardous place for humans to
work.people initially employed equipments and then it evolved to employing
automatic analyzer and now a days, human
Free laboratory is highly in
demand for covid-19 test.as
already testing equipments are
available we can make user
reprogrammable or pre
programmed laboratory movable
arm that can deal with different
equipments in laboratory and to
support iterative process in labs.
With a prototype of arm we can
first program it to do simple
primary operations and make
study then accordingly can make
changes of it.once the primary
operations of robotic arm cleared
we can commercialise it for
school
and collage laboratories where the students can experize a new chemistry lab and
also learn to program a robot.
Primary task for a chemical laboratory.[for institution]
● TUBE HOLDING.

The heart of this robot is it’s arm and it should be

like an open hook where it can hold different size of
test tubes [The large glass test tubes are 150 mm tall
x 16 mm with 14 mm inside diameter. Approximate
volume is 22 ml].
● APPLICATION.

It should be connected with computer through a simple dedicated

software which is to control and reprogram the arm.
● MOBILITY.

The arm can able to move both in horizontal and in vertical direction.the
hook where in the test tube holded will able to turn 360° so that it can be
flexible to handle different solutions[because there are chemicals which are
highly viscous in nature],but it must be programmed 90° through software for
most of the cases.rest of the equipment should be fixed.
● NON-CORROSIVE.

All parts of the robot must be non-corrosive and non-fragile as it will

exposed to different chemicals.
● WEIGHT.

It should gross weigh[in lit or gram] the sample in the holder,it should pour
precise volume of sample by reducing the weight from gross weight and
display it in the dedicated software.This feature will excite both the technician
and student.
● IDENTIFYING.

It should identify each test tube by barcode or by qrcode so that

pickingup and transferring it to the right test tube will be way easier.
● PREINSTALLING.

While installing the software we have to program hundreds of simple

chemical experiments to it.so that it will be a add-on feature.

Algorithm .
Here we can see the programming algorithm for robotic arm[single] with a bit
complicated chemical reaction.Here i chosen complicated chemical reaction to
study and improve the robotic arm.
SYNTHESIS OF ASPIRIN (acetylsalicylic acid)
STEP 1- At First the robotic arm is placed in firmly and turn it on to Place 2.0 g (0.015
mole) of salicylic acid in a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask ,the arm should identify the
barcoded salicylic acid and check before holding the test tube that it is in correct
weight and then proceed it further by pouring it into already positioned Erlenmeyer
flask and rest the salicylic acid carrying test tube in a programmed position.

STEP 2-By following the same step as above Add 5 mL (0.05 mole) of acetic
anhydride, followed by 5 drops of conc. H2SO4 (use a dropper, H2SO4 is highly
corrosive) handling a dropper is very sensitive so it done manually and swirl the flask
gently by using the vertical motion+[20°]slight bend until the salicylic acid
dissolves[ normally 6 swirl is enough].

STEP 3- Heat the flask gently on the steam bath for at least 10 minutes.actually we
can set the lapse to robotic arm to hold it in the steam bath.

STEP 4- [step done manually]Allow the flask to cool to room temperature. If

acetylsalicylic acid does not begin to crystallize out, scratch the walls of the flask
with a glass rod. Cool the mixture slightly in an ice bath until crystallization is
completed. The product will appear as a solid mass when crystallization is completed.

STEP 5-Now to Add 50 mL of water it should identify barcoded water flask to

pour it and cool the mixture in an ice bath. [Do not add the water until crystal
formation is complete ]

STEP 6- [step done manually]Vacuum filter the product using a Buchner funnel.
You can use some of the filtrate to rinse the Erlenmeyer flask if necessary.Rinse the
crystals with small portions (5 mL) of cold water and air dry the crystals on a
Buchner funnel by suction until the crystals appear to be free of solvent.

STEP 7- Record the weight of the crude solid which probably contains
water.and display it through software application.
STEP 8-Stir[same swirl motion repeated] the crude solid placed firmly and with 25
mL of a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution in a 150 mL beaker [which is
placed already the arm should identify and do the rest] until all signs of reaction have
ceased (evolution of CO2 ceases which is manually noted).

STEP 9-[step done manually]Filter the solution through a Buchner funnel to remove
any insoluble impurities or polymers that may have been formed. Wash the beaker
and the funnel with 5 to 10 mL of water.Filter the solid by suction and wash the
crystals 3X with 5 mL of cold water each. Remove all the liquid from the crystals by
pressing with a clean stopper or cork. Air dry the crystals and transfer them to a
watch glass to dry.
Test a small amount of the product for the presence of unreacted salicylic acid
using the ferric chloride solution.

STEP 10-When the product is completely dry, weigh the product, determine its melting
point (lit mp 135-136 °C) and calculate the percentage yield using the software
application.

STEP 11-Dissolve the final product in a minimum amount (no more than 2-3 mL) of
hot ethyl acetate in a already positioned 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Make sure that the
product is completely dissolved while gently and continuously heating on a steam
bath done as by previous method. Collect the product by vacuum filtration

STEP 12-When the product is completely dry, weigh its weight, determine its melting
point (lit mp 135 °C) and calculate the percentage yield of this recrystallized product
using the software.

NOTE-we can do hundreds of simple chemical reactions with 95%robotic arm

influence but the reason behind complicated chemical reaction is to know the
feasibility and ability of it.

CONCLUSION.

I believe that we can successfully commercialize primary task arm around the country
only if we work more on it and in the next part of the paper” AUTOMATION IN
MEDICAL AND LABORATORY OPERATIONS” i will be covering more on high
end laboratory robotics.
