04 Robotics vs. Automation –
What’s the Difference?
ROBOTICS AUTOMATION EXAMPLES
Focuses on building and
programming robots.
Focuses on making processes
work independently.
A robotic arm is robotics.
A fully automated factory using robotic arms
is automation!

The Future of Robotics &
Automation
The future of robotics and automation is set to
revolutionize every aspect of our lives, from industries
and healthcare to transportation and daily tasks. With
advancements in artificial intelligence, robots are
becoming more autonomous, adaptive, and capable of
performing complex human-like functions. Factories will
rely on fully automated production lines, self-driving cars
will dominate roads, and AI-powered assistants will
manage homes and businesses. While these innovations
promise efficiency, safety, and economic growth, they
also raise ethical concerns about job displacement and
human-AI coexistence

Statistics:
"By 2025, automation will replace 85 million jobs worldwide" (World
Economic Forum)
"Automation can increase productivity by up to 30%" (McKinsey)

8. Are Robotics taking our
jobs?
08
The Short Answer: Yes and No
Robots and automation are changing the nature of work, and some jobs are being
replaced by machines. However, new jobs and industries are also emerging, and
many existing jobs will be transformed rather than eliminated.
The Future of Work:
1. Upskilling and Reskilling: As automation transforms the job market,
workers will need to acquire new skills to remain relevant.
2. Lifelong Learning: The pace of technological change will require workers to
continuously update their skills and knowledge throughout their
careers.

Robotics in Healthcare – Saving Lives with AI
"Doctor Bot Will See You Now – The Future of Medical Robotics"
Surgical Assistance: Imagine a robot helping a surgeon during
an operation. The Da Vinci Surgical System is a great example
of this. It helps doctors perform surgeries through tiny cuts,
which means patients heal faster and feel less pain. For
instance, when doctors remove a prostate using this robot,
patients often have less bleeding and can go home sooner.

Elderly Care: Think of a friendly robot seal named PARO that comforts
older people. This robot has soft fur and interacts with patients,
helping them feel less lonely and more relaxed. It’s like having a cuddly
pet that makes them smile and feel better.

Diagnostics and Monitoring: Imagine how quickly you
can search for something online. AI robots can do the
same with medical information! For example, IBM's
Watson can read tons of medical studies and help
doctors find the best treatments for diseases like cancer.
It’s like having a super-smart helper that knows a lot
about medicine.

The Future of Humanoid Robots – Will
They Think Like Us?
Are We Ready for Robots That Think Like Humans?"
What Are Humanoid Robots?
Humanoid robots are machines that look and act like humans.
They have a head, arms, and legs, and can walk, talk, and even
express emotions. A well-known example is Sophia, a robot
that can hold conversations and show facial expressions,
making her seem more relatable.
13. 12
Can Robots Think Like Us?
Right now, humanoid robots don't think like humans. They use
artificial intelligence (AI) to respond to questions and perform
tasks, but they don’t have feelings or consciousness. For
example, they can answer questions based on data but don’t
understand emotions the way we do.
Can They Think Like Us?

Scientists are working hard to improve AI, and one day we might
have robots that can understand human emotions better. Imagine
a robot that can help you when you’re sad or celebrate when
you’re happy. However, there are many ethical questions about
how much we should allow robots to think or feel

If humanoid robots become more advanced, they
could help in many areas, like healthcare or education.
For instance, a robot teacher could provide
personalized learning for students. But we also need
to think about how this technology could affect jobs
and our daily lives.

- Self-Driving Cars: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) use sensors,
cameras, and AI to navigate without human intervention. They
promise to reduce accidents, improve traffic flow, and provide
mobility to those unable to drive.
- Drones: Used for delivery services, surveillance, and
emergency response. They can navigate urban environments
efficiently and reduce delivery times.
- Automated Public Transport: Buses and trains that operate
without drivers, improving efficiency and reducing operational
costs.

5G Networks: Provide the high-speed, low-latency communication
needed for AVs to function effectively. They enable real-time data
exchange between vehicles and infrastructure.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Powers the decision-making processes in AVs,
allowing them to interpret sensor data, predict traffic patterns, and make
safe driving decisions.
Internet of Things (IoT): Connects various devices and systems within a
city, enabling seamless communication and coordination. For example,
traffic lights can adjust in real-time based on traffic conditions.

Responsibility in Accidents: Determining who is at fault in the event of an accident
involving an AV. Is it the manufacturer, the software developer, or the owner?
Privacy Concerns: AVs and smart city infrastructure collect vast amounts of data.
Ensuring this data is used responsibly and protecting citizens' privacy is crucial.
Job Displacement: The rise of AVs may lead to job losses in driving-related
professions. Finding ways to retrain and support affected workers is essential.
