BRIEF WRITE UP ON ROBOTICS AND DRONE USE CASES

 How Robotics Technology Is Supposed to Work:

Robotics is an exciting technology, that provides automated services in
the field of intelligent systems. Basically, one can characterize advanced
mechanics innovation as the effective utilization of sensors, actuators, PCs, and
mechanical gadgets to make an "insightful association of perception to action".
From this essential conceptual structure, creators can make various applications.
They can make robotic limbs that mimic human capabilities and robotic
machines that can perform complicated assignments.
Robotics technology is the improvement of machines that are utilized for
achieving specific tasks. For instance, robotic arms have the capacity to move
weighty items that people can't convey or move from one point to another.
Imagining a strong computer with arms and legs is one method for visualize
robotics technology. All in all, computers might have the script or guidelines on
the particular method to complete a specific work, but in the absence of robotic
arms and comparative components, computers are restricted to undertakings like
information storage and recovery. However, the addition of robotic limbs and
instruments that mimic human movement drastically alters the performance and
usefulness of the said computer.

 Robotics - Use Cases

The variety of robotics applications enables these machines to work in various

industries, from assembling and design to as different as defense and aerospace.
Robotics laborers are sorted into robotics engineers and robotics technicians.
Robotics engineers develop new robotics frameworks and keeping in mind that
likewise redesign the old ones. While robotic technicians, maintain and repair
existing robotics technology.

 Inventory:

Robots perform a variety of inventory tasks for organizations with deal with
large warehouses or sorting facilities. Inventory robots can be driver-less
vehicles that are customized to explore consistently from the warehouse center
to sequential construction systems, select specific pieces of product, and carry
them to representatives for inventory record maintenance into robotized
frameworks. Inventory robots offer extraordinary potential to save time and
furthermore decrease the probability of mistake or error leading to irregularities
in inventory tracking.

 Marketing:

Organizations particularly technology organizations use robots for display and

advertising systems. Robots like Pleo, BigDog are displayed at conferences and
industry meets to show the sense of advancement and development which base
on them.

 Modern Manufacturing:

Modern Manufacturing is perhaps of the most widely recognized task which the
mechanical robots perform, such as assembling items or checking for quality
upgrades at the transport line. Manufacturing robots handle tasks like get
together and pick and place tasks, welding and arranging, at a higher speed than
their human partners, with chances of mistake at an absolute minimum. and
arranging at a higher speed than their human partners, with chances of error at
an uncovered insignificant.

 Health Care:

Progresses in robotics can possibly change a wide assortment of medical

services, like a surgery, rehabilitation, therapy, patient companionship, and
ordinary exercises. Robotic instruments utilized in medical services are not
intended to control over the duties of medical care experts, yet rather to make
their work simpler. For patients who have suffered spinal cord injuries, or who
are paralyzed, robotic devices such as exoskeletons have the ability to assist and
guide them during rehabilitation.

 Agriculture:

To assist with expanding efficiency while bringing down in general costs, the
agriculture business has been effectively attempting to take on various types of
robotics technology. Farmers have already been using tractors and harvesters
that are self-guided by GPS. Recently, there has been an ascent in the trial
utilization of independent frameworks that automate tasks like pruning,
diminishing, cutting, spraying, and weed evacuation. Sensor technology is
additionally being used to manage pests and illnesses that influence crops.

 How Drone Technology Is Supposed to Work:
Drone technology is an illustration of a cutting-edge technology. It is the
final product of combining or modifying prior types of scientific knowledge.
Designers of the drone technology needed to get from advanced developments
that were perfected in the past. In other words, this sort of technology is one of
the most incredible byproducts of creative thinking. Basically, a drone is an
automated airplane, two kinds of drones are under scrutiny. The main
classification incorporates military drones right now used by the U.S. Air Force.
The subsequent class incorporates non-military type favored by businessmen
and researchers.

 Drone - Use Cases

 UAV Traffic Management:

This use case will exhibit a typical usefulness for all UAV applications, by
giving the important safe and secure incorporation of drones into the air traffic.
To be sure, the dramatic development of UAVs over the course of the last 10
years and the ensuing advancement of commercial drone exercises particularly
at low altitude have posed the question of drones’ safe and secure flight
operations in the face of increased air traffic. UAS Traffic Management is
supposed to oversee drone traffic in the lower altitudes of the airspace, giving a
total and complete start to finish service to accumulate real-time information of
weather, airspace traffic, drone enrollment, and credentials of drone operators,
among others.

 Oil & Gas / Utilities:

Service organizations, alongside the oil and gas industry, were likewise early
adopters of the technology. In the utility area, drones are utilized for reviewing
powerlines, solar panels, and wind turbines. Before drones, people had to risk
dangerous heights, and conceivable electric shock, in order to assess the
condition of critical infrastructure. Presently, drones deal with these
assignments with next to no risk to your colleagues. In the oil and gas industry,
pipelines are a critical concern. The lines can reach out for many miles in
territory that is troublesome. Drones can convey payloads that distinguish gas
leaks, and can make groups aware of different crises, for example, a pipeline
rupture. UAVs cover ground a lot quicker than a group of individuals, and assist
with potential ecological and economic disasters.

 Security:

Cameras have been a piece of safety tasks since the mid 19’s. However, drone-

based aeronautical photography takes this to an altogether unique level.
Facilities of all sizes utilize both fastened and untethered UAVs to monitor
entrance and exit points, perimeters, and maintain control of inventory and other
assets. Furthermore, applications are as of now being developed for home-based
security drones. As a part of the Internet of Things (IoT), UAVs like Sunflower
Labs' Bee could turn into the standard for independent observing of autonomous
monitoring of homes and businesses.

 Power Line Stringing:

Drones help quick and safe stringing of high voltage electrical lines. With
drones, it is feasible to wire high voltage lines starting with one high voltage
tower then onto the next, in a more secure, quicker and more affordable way
than traditional stringing. Energy organizations can now diminish functional
expenses and save time by stringing power lines with drones. The drone loads a
very thin, light and ultra-resistant cable guide. This cable will be laid on the
transmission tower in order to reach the crew on the ground that will install the
final cable. This technique using professional drones reduces human and
material risks dissimilar to traditional strategies, for example, helicopters or
administrators climbing on high voltage towers.

 Corona Discharge Detection:

The Hercules 10 equipped with the Corocam 8 – UViRCO camera that can
detect and prevent corona discharge on power lines in areas that are difficult to
access. Combined imaging (IR, UV and VIS sensors) allows UV and thermal
inspections to be performed simultaneously, saving time and reducing risk and
human effort. The co-location of electric shocks and hot spots allows the
maintenance operator to better understand the cause of a fault.

 Mapping of Power Line Networks:

Electrical organization planning by drone permits the inspection of thousands of

kilometers of electrical lines to advance the checking and the maintenance of
the organization. A regular mapping permits vegetation monitoring,
confirmation of maintenance works and administrations performed by
administrators or outside organizations as well as checking the general
condition of the power lines.
