 ROBOTICS TIMELINE
► 2015-2020 - every South Korean household will have a robot
and many European, The Ministry of Information and
Communication (South Korea), 2007[3]
► 2018 - robots will routinely carry out surgery, South Korea
government 2007[3]
► 2022 - intelligent robots that sense their environment, make
decisions, and learn are used in 30% of households and
organizations - TechCast[4]
► 2030 - robots capable of performing at human level at most
manual jobs Marshall Brain[5]
► 2034 - robots (home automation systems) performing most
household tasks, Helen Greiner, Chairman of iRobot[6]
 ROBOTICS TIMELINE-MILITARY
► 2015 - one third of US fighting strength will
be composed of robots - US Department of
Defense, 2006[7]
► 2035 - first completely autonomous robot
soldiers in operation - US Department of
Defense, 2006[7]
► 2038 - first completely autonomous robot
flying car in operation - US Department of
Technology, 2007[7]
 Developments related to robotics from the
Japan NISTEP [8] 2030 report :
► 2013-2014 — agricultural robots (AgRobots[9],
[10]).
► 2013-2017 — robots that care for the elderly
► 2017 — medical robots performing low-invasive
surgery
► 2017-2019 — household robots with full use.
► 2019-2021 — Nanorobots
► 2021-2022 — Transhumanism
►ROBOTICSIN THE FUTURE
WARFARE
 ADVANTAGES OVER HUMANS
 Ideal for the increasing lethality of
warfare
► Flexibility to counter terrorist, insurgent,
and tribal warfare
 Changing geopolitical climate & doctrine
 Render large areas toxic, uninhabitable
 Protective garments limit manned
efficiency and effectiveness
 ADVANTAGES OVER HUMANS
► Expendable: suicide missions
► Indefatigable: no need for sleep or rest
► Faster response time: pre-positioning
 Fearless and aggressive: not deterred by
near misses
► Reduced cost

ROBOTICS IN THE FIELD OF BIO
PRODUCTION
Many robots for bio-production
have been developed in the
world and it is predicted that
they will be commercialized in
the 21st century, since some
of them were already
commercialized by some
companies in Japan and
European countries. A tomato
and cherry tomato harvesting
robot, a cucumber harvesting
robot, strawberry harvesting
robots, a multi-operation robot
to work in grapevine yard, and
a chrysanthemum cutting
sticking robot.
 ROBOTICS IN SPACE

Future missions to
space will include
many robotic vehicles
designed to perform
specific tasks both
autonomous and
remote controlled.
► The planet Saturn, with
its famous icy rings, and
its enigmatic moon,
Titan, are the prime
scientific targets of the
international Cassini
mission, the most
ambitious and far-
reaching planetary
exploration ever
mounted
