Robotics has seen varied applications in possibly every field that one can think of. Education, travel, defense, you name it and you get to see how far we’ve evolved on the robotics front. The healthcare sector has seen a remarkable change in how things have progressed. With the pandemic that left us in dismay, the healthcare sector served to be a boon. Surviving the pandemic wasn’t easy and the sole reason why we’ve made it through is because of the healthcare sector.

The pandemic has stressed how critical social distancing is. This is a challenge for the healthcare workers as they’ll have to address the issues of the patients. But, robots are no less than a savior here. With robots in place, it is easier than ever to reduce in-person contact between health care workers and sick patients. But, would this be as welcomed by the patients as anticipated? Hence, what remains a concern is how the patients will react to a robot entering the exam room.

A lot of researchers conducted varied studies to find how the patients react to robots entering the exam room. One team found out that a good chunk of patients reported that when they were interacting with a health care provider via a video screen that was mounted on a robot was hardly different from the interaction with a doctor or nurse. These findings boost the confidence that people are not that scared or worried as was expected. The focus is now on designing robots that cater to the safety of both – patients as well as healthcare workers. Well, not just this. Some researchers also found that a lot of patients were also okay with having robots performing minor procedures. One task could be taking the swab sample for tests.

The pandemic has served to be a wake-up call for everyone to bring in the right technology that’d reduce the intensity of the surge in cases. Following this, Traverso and his colleagues started paying attention to develop new strategies aimed at minimizing the interaction between potentially sick patients and health care workers to the greatest extent possible. The team went on to create a mobile robot that could interact with patients as they waited in the emergency department. For this, they worked with Boston Dynamics.

The robot was designed in such a manner that it had sensors incorporated within itself. With these sensors, it was possible to measure skin temperature, pulse rate as well as the rate of breathing and also blood oxygen level. Well, there’s more to it. The robot is equipped with an iPad. This paved the way for video communication with the doctor or nurse. For over a year, we’ve seen the healthcare workers donning the protective equipment that’s required for every interaction. With these robots in place, all of this is reduced to a large extent.

Yet another study involved patients being asked about their symptoms via video communication. When the patients were asked about their experience on the same, the results astonished almost everyone. They reported that they were quite happy with how the process went. They found the interaction similar to that of person-to-person interaction.

All in all, the results are quite positive and with people starting to show a keen interest in how robots would assist in medical procedures, it is now time that scientists get going with designing robots with improved technology so that the overall experience is enhanced and fruitful.

Can healthcare robots really help medical professionals during the pandemic?

Different forms of robotics are used in the healthcare sector to boost the existing quality of treatment while also assisting people in doing tasks they would not have been able to do in the past, or doing things faster and with less mistakes. In medicine, healthcare robots assist by alleviating medical professionals from basic activities that divert their attention away from more significant responsibilities, as well as by making medical procedures secure and less expensive for patients. They can also conduct precise surgery in small spaces and transfer hazardous materials.

As the coronavirus outbreak grew into a full-fledged pandemic in early 2020, causing numerous businesses to close, robot manufacturers found themselves in an unprecedented situation, with many seeing an increase in orders. Robots do not need masks, are easily disinfected, and, obviously, do not become ill.

Since then, an army of robots have been distributed around the world to assist with the issue. Patients are being monitored, clinics are being sanitized, supplies are being made, and emergency medical staffs are being aimed to prevent their virus exposure. Not all robots are self-contained; in reality, many need direct human management and are restricted to basic, routine tasks.

As per the report of Tech Xplore, in a piece in Nature Machine Intelligence, Johns Hopkins researchers discuss how the coronavirus pandemic has driven unexpected innovations in automation, while at the same time revealing bottlenecks to deploying robotic systems in health care settings. They contend that advances in human-robot interaction—such as improving robots’ capabilities to feel, touch, and decide—will determine if the robots of tomorrow will help hospitals stay ahead of the next pandemic.

They also mentioned that, in the commentary, the team identifies three ways robots have greatly enhanced patient care and provider safety during COVID-19: minimizing contact between infected patients and care providers, reducing the need for PPE, and giving providers more time to focus on critical tasks. They look ahead to how technologies can be leveraged to develop adaptable and reliable robots for future infectious disease crises.

Robots in Future Pandemic Situations

According to The Conversation, hopefully, COVID-19 will accelerate the adoption of existing robots and their adaptation to new niches, but it might also lead to new robots. Laboratory and supply chain automation is emerging as an overlooked opportunity. Automating the slow COVID-19 test processing that relies on a small set of labs and specially trained workers would eliminate some of the delays currently being experienced in many parts of the U.S.

Automation is not particularly exciting, but just like the unglamorous disinfecting robots in use now, it is a valuable application. If government and industry have finally learned the lessons from previous disasters, more mundane robots will be ready to work side-by-side with the health care workers on the front lines when the next pandemic arrives.

Which countries are leading the robotics race in 2021?

The proliferation of robotics has well begun. These automated machines are employing aside human workers and performing complex tasks at a shared workplace. Reports indicate that robotics implementation across countries is high. As per the data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the pace of industrial automation is expediting across the developed world with 74 installed industrial robots for every 10,000 employees globally in 2016. The number by 2020 reached 113 across the manufacturing sector.

Western Europe has a robot density of 225 units per 10,000 employees in manufacturing, followed by the Nordic European countries (204 units). That number in North America and Southeast Asia is 153 units and 119 units, respectively.

Let’s have a look at the top countries leading robotics implementation in 2021.

Singapore

Singapore is best known as a global financial hub. The country is now endeavoring to build its reputation as a robotics innovator. It has an abundance of facilities in the robotics industry research field. According to the latest World Robotics statistics, released by IFR, Singapore has the highest robot density of 918 units per 10,000 employees in 2019. The electronics industry, particularly semiconductors and computer peripherals, is the primary customer of industrial robots in the country with shares of 75% of the total operational stock. In 2016, Singapore ranks second after South Korea in terms of industrial robot density.

In 2016, Singapore pledged to invest over S$450 million across three years to support the National Robotics Programme (NRP) to promote the adoption and development of robotics solutions in healthcare, construction, manufacturing and logistics. The spending is part of an even larger initiative – Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2020 (RIE 2020). For this, S$19 billion has been set aside over five years to support and realise research in science and technology. In 2019, an extra S$540 million was allotted to RIE 2020.

South Korea

In 2017, South Korea had 710 installed industrial robots for every 10,000 workers. That number increased to 868 units per 10,000 employees in 2019. The electronics and electric sectors are the major adopters of high-volume robots. In 2020, it was reported that the South Korean government had planned to ease regulations on the development of robotics technology and ramp up next year’s budget in the sector by 32% to groom the country’s robotics market as one of the global top 4 in three years.

Moving ahead to 2021, the IFR report anticipates that 630,000 industrial robot units will deliver in 2021 as frameworks develop with rising advancements, for example, vision acknowledgment, skill learning, failure prediction, human-machine collaboration, and simpler programming.

Japan

Japan has been the world’s top exporter of robots in terms of the value of shipments and the number of operating units. The country shipped approximately 3.4 billion yen’s worth of robots in 2012, comprising around 50% of the global market share. Japan has 364 robots per 10,000 employees, equal to Germany (346 units). The country is the world’s predominant robot manufacturer, where even robots assemble robots: 47% of the global robot production is made in Nippon. According to the report, the electrical and electronics industry has a 34% share, the automotive industry 32%, and the metal and machinery industry 13% of the operational stock.

In APAC, Japan is one of the key leading countries for service robots. The country is continuously increasing its focus on robotics and how it can improve both quality of life and the state of the environment. Japan’s Society 5.0 plan aims to deploy advanced technologies such as AI, robotics, big data analytics, and IoT to create an optimized, sustainable world.

Sweden

Sweden is another leading European country when it comes to robotics implementation. The country has a robot density of 274 units, with a share of 35% each in the metal and automotive industry. In a 2017 survey by the European Commission, 80% of Swedes welcome robots and AI, and Swedish trade unions openly embrace automation. Sweden is home to some of the top robotics companies, including ABB Robotics, IBC Robotics, Robotdalen, Giraff, Robot System SR, and SRC.

Denmark

Denmark has a range of test destinations when it comes to automation in the industry. The country, with less than 6 million people, has a robot density of 243 units per 10,000 employees. The city of Odense in Denmark has poised to make itself a centre for the development and commercialisation of robotics technology. Around 129 companies along with suppliers and research facilities have created the Odense Robotics cluster that interacts with each other to reinforce their capabilities.

In the United States, the pace of automation is steady with a robotics density of 228 units. In 2019, the U.S. car market was the second-largest car market in the world, following China, with the second-largest production volume of cars and light vehicles. On the other hand, the development of robot density in China continues dynamically, with 187 robots installed for every 10,000 employees.

The researchers hope that Motion2Vec will one day assist physicians by sealing relatively simple incisions.

It has come to light that, Motion2Vec, an AI model developed by Google Brain, Intel AI Lab, and UC Berkeley has the ability to learn how to do tasks related with robotic surgery such as suturing, needle-passing, needle inserting, and knot binding by watching surgery clips. The model was tested in a lab with a two-armed da Vinci robot moving a needle through cloth.

What really is Motion2Vec?

According to Infotech Report, Motion2Vec is a representation learning algorithm trained using semi-supervised learning, and it follows in the tradition of similarly named models like Word2Vec and Grasp2Vec, trained with knowledge found in an embedding space. UC Berkeley researchers previously used YouTube videos to train agents to dance, do backflips, and perform a range of acrobatics, and Google has used video to train algorithms to do things like generate realistic video or predict depth using mannequin challenge videos from YouTube.

They also added that the researchers say their work shows that video robotics used in surgery can be improved by feeding them expert demonstration videos to teach new robotic manipulation skills. “Results suggest performance improvement in segmentation over state-of-the-art baselines, while introducing pose imitation on this dataset with cm error 0:94 in position per observation respectively,” the paper reads.

How did the researchers get Motion2Vec to learn stitches?

While viewing videos of surgeons doing the job, artificial intelligence learns to resew. The robot is then able to replicate the movements it has observed, which range from insertion and extraction to needles transfer, thanks to the visual observation sessions.

A study showed, to evaluate the system’s accuracy, the project’s team used surgical videos from the JIGSAWS database. Motion2Vec had an 85.5% performance rate for 78 films watched, according to the information site 20minutes. The findings, however, revealed an average margin of error of 0.94 centimeters.

The robot is currently under experimentation in phase D, but the latter will obviously be of considerable use in an operating theatre once it has indeed been created. However, Dr. Ajay Tanwani, one of the researchers involved in the system development, underlined that the device won’t fully replace a human surgeon. Despite the fact that the technology is still in its early stages, the researchers hope that Motion2Vec will one day assist physicians by sealing relatively simple incisions.

No second thoughts to the fact that robotics is one of the most sought-after career opportunities across the globe. In addition to being one of the hottest jobs, this field holds the potential of transforming the lives of people for the better. Contrary to popular belief, getting into this magnanimous field of robotics doesn’t require you to have a degree in robotics or engineering, though having one is always preferred. How skilled you are and the kind of determination you hold is way more important.

Robotics is a great career path to choose – not just from the salary point of view but also from the perspective of career growth. Despite all this, what continues to remain an area of concern is that the number of women working in this field is negligible. Without a doubt, robotics is dominated by men workforce. The lack of women’s participation in science-related fields despite the fact that the field has seen astronomical growth over the years is what needs to be addressed to.

What can be done to increase women’s participation in robotics and other science-related fields?

Women tend to underestimate themselves. In reality, they can be way more risk-averse than men. Women don’t realize their potential and despite being highly qualified do not consider choosing this path.

• Today, understanding what makes women not consider technology-related fields as an ideal career opportunity is the need of the hour. Making them aware of what the future would like if choosing robotics as a career could ease things out to some extent.
• If the very thought of how do robots work, what goes into their making, how to design a robot, etc. interests you, then you shouldn’t hesitate in exploring this field in depth. Research as much as you can and the best way to bring all the knowledge that you’ve gained to life, create a small robot on your own. There are tons of videos and courses available that’ll enable you to get started.
• There could be a case wherein the model you developed isn’t functional. In that case, you need not get disheartened. When you are in the interview room, you could take your model and ask the panel what went wrong. How curious you are in knowing about robotics increases your chance of getting hired.
• Not everything that you possess can be put on paper in the form of a resume. How good you are as far as communication is concerned, how critically can you think, how proactive you are, etc. are a few areas where you can work on. The interviewers would be more than happy to hire a woman who is excellent with technical skills but is a package of relevant soft skills as well.
• Women who have already carved a niche for themselves in this field need to come out and address women who are hesitating from choosing robotics as their career path. It is now time that women employees with good experience in robotics pose to be role models for others. The influence that a role model has on budding professionals needs no special mention. Hence, women employees holding interactive sessions with other women who want to create a mark in robotics can do wonders. This will not only serve to be a motivation for them but will also be able to address all their doubts, concerns, etc. if any.
• Encouraging women to take up this career is probably the most effective of all the methods. Providing them with all the required resources, a platform to begin with, and making them believe that whatever they are up to will yield fruitful results for sure can turn out to be a game-changer altogether.

Though robotics as a career is full of opportunities and is high in demand, the number of women who seem to be inclined to this field is surprisingly less. It is now time that people understand that this career is open to everyone and that gender shouldn’t be a hurdle. Following steps that enable women to proactively choosing this career should be prioritized.

Hyperdimensional Computer uses the concepts of hyper-vectors, the dimensions of which range around tens of thousands. With an aim to solve cognitive tasks, Hyperdimensional computing proposes calculating similarity among the data and allows fast learning ability, high energy efficiency, and acceptable accuracy in learning and classifications of tasks. It also aids data transformation with its inherently robust nature.

Computing With Large Vectors

Large vectors have versatile properties that are applicable to the workings of AI. We can select any number of random vectors from the hyperspace of 10k dimensions, being orthogonal to each other. This implies that we can generate a new vector at any time, different from the previous ones. We can also add two vectors to get a similar vector and multiply two vectors to obtain a dissimilar vector.

The Possibilities – Guessing The Language Of Arbitrary Text

Suppose a group has a text of random size and with random content and a group wants to guess if it’s French or English. What can they do? They can use compute vectors for each language and input and compare the angles. The group can start with computing a single vector for each language, one for French and one for English. Then, compute a single vector for the input text and compare the input text vector with both language vectors. The closest language vector to the input vector is most likely the input’s language.

Step 1: Computing a 10k vector for a language

The encoding will go as follows:

Generate a random 10k vector for each letter to store it by using +1 and -1 as the available values. The vector will look something like this: (+1-1+1+1-1-1-1+1….)

Encode trigrams using rotate and multiply operations. This summarises a short sequence of 3 letters into 10k vectors.

Step 2: Computing a 10k vector for the input text

This process is exactly the same for encoding a language vector.

Step 3: Comparing the input and language vectors

By using cosine similarity, one can compare the angles between vectors.

Hyperdimensional Computing & Robotics

For robots to be as intelligent as humans in various tasks, they need to coordinate sensory data with robotics motor capabilities. Scientists from the University Of Maryland published a paper in their journal Science Robotics describing a potentially revolutionary approach to improve the way AI handles sensorimotor representation using hyperdimensional computing theory.

The researchers aimed at creating a way to improve a robot’s “active perception” and the robot’s ability to integrate the way a machine will fit in the world around it. They wrote in the paper. “We find that action and perception are often kept in separated spaces”, which is connected to traditional thinking.

Instead, they proposed “a method of encoding actions and perceptions together into a single space that is meaningful, semantically informed, and consistent by using hyperdimensional binary vectors (HBVs).”

Using these vectors, the researchers can keep all the sensory information that the robot receives in one place, essentially creating its memories. As more information gets stored, “history” vectors will be created, increasing the machine’s memory content. This will result in robots being better at making autonomous decisions, expecting future situations, and completing tasks.

Delivering essentials with robots: The Starship kinship story

Robots, especially the humanoid robots, now are a community taking birth in AI laboratories. The marriage of robots and AI has paved the ways for heightening the technology to a level unimaginable. AI robotics companies work around the clock to come with possibilities of usage of robots for terra incognita.

Such is a company named Starship company that has come a long way with robotics and artificial intelligence.

Starship’s kinship with robotics and AI: The philosophy

Head-quatered in San Francisco, the European company named Starship technologies, excels in building AI driven gadgets which can be used for daily-life purposes, has experimented with robots using artificial intelligence.

Keeping in mind the agenda to prevent COVID-19, to preach and practice social distancing and contactless business, Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis have devised self-driving robots that are now can be used for commercial purposes.

In an interview, they have stated their plans to expand their autonomous robot delivery services beyond Temp. Their main focus would be on premises that need urgent home delivery services namely, university campuses and old-age homes. They have also stated that Starship technologies has listed few countries to start their commercial services using AI. Few countries that are included in the list are: Milton Kenyes, Uk and Washington D.C.

The efficiency of the Smart robots

In order to keep humans in-doors which is also inclusive of the employees in super markets and malls who were initially responsible for making the deliveries at home, these autonomous robots are programmed to lift more than 20 pounds at a time and one robot can make up to 10 deliveries or more.

All the users need to do is to use the starship app to make the home delivery services available and the robots will reach them as briefly as possible.

The starship technologies have also installed transparency in their products where customers can track the robots by use of maps. The map ascertains them about the route and the distance the robots are on.

The Starship technologies company believes in the efficiency of machines that can value money and time. When stuffed with advanced skills that claim to surpass human efficiency, the deftness and swiftness comes as bonuses.

Plans for tomorrow

Starship companies plans to expand it’s robotic home delivery services which registers the highest cases of the contagion. Using robots for the deliveries of health care services and medicines to the house-holds run by senior citizens, the company believes that the contamination can be contained by the use of robotics deliveries.

Additionally, the company plans to include several other countries in the list and attach a new dimension to the e-commerce.

Autonomous robots are magic wands for the economy

With the introduction of self-driving robots for the home delivery services, the Starship companies anticipates a rise in the economic state of UK. These robots are cutting down the costs of fuels and helps curtail congestions caused by traffic jams. Adding cherry to the cake, pollution control also seems possibly by the robotic delivery services as they emit zero percent of poisonous gases.

Although, much a topic of debate as these robots are also putting employment at risk, experts count it in for an affordable strategy and the modern day solution for e-commerce as the year 2021 is already considered a the year of e-commerce transformation.

This gadget garnered attention from everywhere across the globe as it was named as one among the 8 coolest gadgets we saw at CES 2018 by Business Insider.

Talking about Sunflower’s features, it is solar powered, has a built-in entertainment system, lighting and its own HD camera. Yet another remarkable feature is that it can be either voice-activated or controlled by an app. Thus, user flexibility is top-notch.

When the team saw how successful the debut of Sunflower turned out to be at CES 2017, the company did not hesitate in doing the same at CES 2018. They were optimistic that this would be an excellent way to increase awareness about the improved product. ShadeCraft knew that CES would be an ideal platform to reach a diverse range of companies at one time. Armen Gharabegian, ShadeCraft founder and CEO said “CES 2017 was a catalyst for a three-generation growth in our product development and message refinement.” He added that with a wide range of consumers, distributors, investors, and press present at CES 2018, the door of global expansion opens up. This is because the CES generated press coverage from more than 300 global media outlets.
