 WHAT IS INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION?

• Intelligent automation (IA), also known as cognitive automation, is a

type of RPA (Robotic process automation) that includes artificial
intelligence, machine learning (ML), or natural language processing
(NLP). It can include data analytics and complex forms of analysis. IA is
dynamic in nature and relies upon algorithms that have the ability to
learn and adjust as they gain experience. Instead of being mechanical
or static in nature, these tools can interpret information and make
decisions that go beyond simple rule application.
 HOW IT MAKE DIFFERENCE, HOW ?

• Intelligent automation—the combination of artificial intelligence and

automation—is starting to change the way business is done in nearly
every sector of the economy. Intelligent automation systems sense
and synthesize vast amounts of information and can automate entire
processes or workflows, learning and adapting as they go.
Applications range from the routine to the revolutionary: from
collecting, analyzing, and making decisions about textual information
to guiding autonomous vehicles and advanced robots. It is already
helping companies transcend conventional performance tradeoffs to
achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency and quality.
 WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS?

• Industrial robotics is a technology that automates industrial

processes the word “Robotics” refers to a Programmable,
mechanical device used in Place of Person to perform dangerous
repetitive tasks with a high degree of accuracy. And can be
defined as a mechanical machine that is programmed to
automatically perform production related tasks in industrial
environments.
 INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION & INDUSTRIAL
ROBOTICS
• Industrial robots are considered to be a form of flexible automation
since they are reprogrammable and can be used for many different
types of robotic applications. Industrial robotics has been present for
more than 40 years in the industrial sector, but it can be combined
with technologies that have emerged in recent years within the
framework of Industry 4.0 - take AI for example - to increase the
possibilities of automation that this technology can offer.
 Automation powered by artificial intelligence is
heralding a new era
• Intelligent automation marries artificial intelligence—including natural language
processing, machine learning, and machine vision—with automation.
• Artificial intelligence and automation are hardly new, but the technologies have
progressed substantially in recent years.
• Advances in machine learning techniques, improvements in sensors, and ever-
greater computing power have helped create a new generation of hardware
and software robots with practical applications in nearly every industry sector.
• Some intelligent automation technologies, such as those powering a new
generation of collaborative robots and Google’s self-driving cars, analyze and
respond to a stream of situational data from sensors.
 HOW THE INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION MADE
DIFFERENCE IN INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS?
• Traditional robots, such as those used in automotive manufacturing
for over 30 years, perform one task repeatedly. A new generation of
intelligent robots is able to perform a wider range of more
sophisticated tasks and can collaborate with and even learn from
human coworkers.
• Here is some example of intelligent robots and uses in our life :
- Automotive Manufacturing.
- Amazon Robots.
- Warehouse-Picking Robots.
 Automotive industry

There are multiple industrial robot in a cars manufacture and one of them is the
spotwelding robot where it used on cars to connect two panels together and weld different
points on the car. The Second part of robots are also use as car painters where they paint
the car accurately and evenly without overpainting the car.
 Amazon pod moving Robot

This robot is fully autonomous its used to move around pod which contain items they
move the pod to a person to pick the wanted item for an order and then puts it back in its
space.
 Warehouse-Picking Robots

These robots perform pick-and-place tasks that select and collect the required products and
place them at specific locations. Machines are typically equipped with a vision system for
identifying items, gripper elements for handling goods, and software programmed to
operate correctly.
 Types of Industrial Robots

SCARA Robots :
The SCARA is a type of industrial robot, The acronym stands
for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm or Selective Compliance
Articulated Robot Arm.

SCARA is the jointed two-link arm layout similar to human arms, This
feature allows the arm to extend into confined areas and then retract
or "fold up" out of the way. This is advantageous for transferring
parts from one cell to another or for loading or unloading process
stations that are enclosed.

Usage example : inserting a round pin in a round hole without

binding.
ARTICULATED Robots :

An ARTICULATED Robot is a robot with rotary joints,

It can range from simple two-jointed structures to systems with 10 or
more interacting joints and materials. They are powered by a variety of
means, including electric motors.

HOW IT WORK ?
It uses all the three revolute joints to access its work space, usually the
joints are arranged in a “chain”, so that one joint supports another
further in the chain.
CARTESIA Robot :

A Cartesian coordinate robot (also called linear robot) is

an industrial robot whose three principal axes of control are
linear that moves in a straight line rather than rotate, and are at
right angles to each other.

Robots have mechanisms consisting of rigid links connected together

by joints with either linear (prismatic P) or rotary (revolute R)
motion, or combinations of the two; Active prismatic P and active
revolute R joints are driven by motors under programmable control
to manipulate objects to perform complex automated tasks.
DELTA Robot :
A delta robot is a type of parallel robot that consists of three arms
connected to universal joints at the base. The key design feature is the
use of parallelograms in the arms, which maintains the orientation of
the end effector; delta robots have popular usage in picking and
packaging in factories because they can be quite fast, some executing
up to 300 picks per minute.

- Parallel Robot (manipulator) : is a mechanical system that uses

several computer-controlled serial chains to support a single platform,
or end-effector.
