Robotics and Artificial Intelligence: A Synergistic Future – By Bhanuka – eLanka Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are two of the most transformative technologies of our time. Separately, they each have the potential to revolutionize industries, enhance human capabilities, and solve complex problems. Together, their synergy creates unprecedented opportunities for innovation and growth, paving the way for a future where intelligent machines will be integral to our daily lives. This article explores the synergistic relationship between robotics and AI, delving into their definitions, historical developments, current applications, and future potential. We will also examine the ethical, social, and economic implications of their integration. Understanding Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Definitions and Distinctions Robotics is a branch of engineering and science that involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. Robots are programmable machines capable of carrying out a series of actions autonomously or semi-autonomously. They are used in various fields, ...

The rise of cloud robotics: How the cloud is transforming robotic landscape By Aditya Abeysinghe Robots come in different forms based on the place, purpose and the level of automation they are used. They have been used both for legitimate and fraudulent activities, for both commercial and government purposes, as hardware and software and as a replacement for humans. However, with new models such as computer vision, computational thinking and processing of large data, i.e. big data, have been coupled with robotic functions, a new question has arisen: How can a robot process all these data and carry out its tasks without losing its “focus”? Several solutions have been proposed for this question and a feasible approach for robots of many forms is to use cloud services for heavy computations. Hence, within the past few years “cloud robotics” or use of cloud resources for robotics has been a new ...
