Robotics: Blessing and Curse?

Siddhartha Kumar | January 05, 2022

Change is the only constant in life. Nothing is permanent and so is the case of technology and science; they have only progressed with the progress of necessity which drives inventions and discoveries across the global paradigm of mankind.

The word paradigm is intrinsic to the concept of change or shift and the biggest paradigm shifts in the history of mankind have been caused by the 4 Industrial Revolutions starting from the 1st In Britain to the current Industry 4.0. The backbones of the 4th Industrial Revolution are Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Thus whether we agree or not Robotics have been coming and it has come because it is necessary and it is growing day by day for a reason: ease of life, betterment of humanity. Humans need change but are generally afraid of it until and unless people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, etc point it out to us and tell us what we need. Then the people start adapting with time and realise the fact that embracing change makes things ultimately easier even though the process of adaptation might be a bit tough.

Let us think of a revolutionary invention known as computer. Think about it, it must have been tough for our ancestors to get used to it and some of them are still in the process of getting used to it. Most of them are still more comfortable with using landline phones for calling up someone, maintaining diaries instead of setting reminders on smartphones, queueing up at banks to withdraw money instead of using a Debit card, paying via cash instead of using E-wallets. They will even tell us younger generation that we are becoming unsocial, lazy and we will get affected by various diseases easily because of such using the computer or smartphone for too long; they will even go to the extent of telling us that due to such lifestyle the life expectancy of the younger generation will reduce drastically with respect to the older ones. However, can any one of us remotely argue the necessity of computers? The benefits it has brought to the society? Can we honestly think of a day without our smartphones? Every coin has two sides, same for computers or any inventions. Anything can become a blessing or a curse and that depends on how we use it.

Now let us come to robotics. They have brought ease of doing business, safety and efficiency in various industries. Robots have improved healthcare (Robot nurses, surgical robots), surveillance, delivery of goods (drones), spacecraft, travel, manufacturing, logistics, etc. Robots have been assigned to work in places which might be harmful for humans like mines, furnaces, etc. Robots are used in banking and financial sector too to help process works that are repetitive in nature and other labour intensive ‘low-value add’ tasks.

There will certainly be a number of people who will argue against the concept of Robotics : Blessing and Curse just like they did in case of computers. They will say that robots will take over the world, they will bring loss of jobs, etc. But, it is our duty to use the robots wisely. Who knows? They might be necessary evils, but necessary they are!

Is it time for 3D Printing to Adopt Blockchain Technology?

Tahreem Jamadar | December 28, 2021

What is 3D Printing?

3D Printing is a process by which almost any physical object can be created by depositing layers based on a digital model. All the software, hardware and the materials need to work in unison for all the 3D Printing processes.

3D printing technology can be used to create everything from prototypes and simple parts to highly technical final products such as airplane parts, artificial body organs.

3D Printing is gaining momentum for mass manufacturing production gradient parts and the scale of adopting 3D Printing technology can only go higher. To overcome security issues, 3D Printing technology needs to adopt the blockchain.  The 3D printing process is linear, but it’s not single or seamless. A 3D-printing process passes through many stages starting from concept, to CAD file, to generate design, and final to an actual 3D print. Each of these steps represents a point of vulnerability in which a 3D print can be corrupted or even stolen, putting the company’s intellectual property at risk. 

Why there is an increasing need for high end security in 3D Printing?

Is it time for 3D Printing to Adopt Blockchain Technology? Research has already shown 3D printing has a growing need for cybersecurity. In 2016, researchers from the University of California found out an approach in which a 3D printer can be hacked by recording the sounds a 3D Printer makes, they have successfully hacked the system and stole the source code that is used to produce 3D printed parts.

In another research, a PC connected to a 3D printer was hacked and the researchers were able to make secret alterations to the 3D printing files for a drone that caused its propellor to fail mid-flight

So how does blockchain address all of this?

A Blockchain is like a diary that is almost impossible to forge.  Blockchain works by creating a distributed, encrypted ledger across any number of parties that can be used to verify not only identities but also the status of any particular job. That means every node involved in any stage of a 3D print is aware of what all the others are doing at any time safely and securely. Since a blockchain is decentralized, meaning no single node owns it, stealing or altering a 3D printed file from a blockchain is not about tricking a single computer or printer – but to hack every node that was a part of that particular chain, which is practically impossible. Furthermore, because the blockchain technology is decentralized it becomes immutable and cannot be erased. As a result of the Bitcoin and several cryptocurrencies, Blockchain technology has become popular and 3D printing holds an interesting extra layer in that as this deals with physical products.

Why STEM Education in Australia

Dr. Heath Kirby-Miller | December 25, 2021

How can parents, industry and schools help progress STEM Education in Australia?

STEM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. STEAM includes Arts as well. Creativity is an essential element of STEM.

In November 2021, according to the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE):

“Australian students don’t understand the importance of STEM, or STEM career opportunities, until it’s too late.”

Parents of school going children should (must) take an interest in STEM as a future valuable skill for their children. The investment now may seem expensive, but it will help to position children for future job opportunities. Without STEM skills, it is possible that many STEM opportunities would not be available to children who were not given the opportunity to learn and understand STEM. To help children explore STEM, there is a lot of online STEM-content, including on streaming service Netflix.

Role of Australian industry in the growth of STEM education in Australia.

What is the role of Australian industry in the growth of STEM education in Australia? Australian industry is concerned about skills shortages and recruitment of qualified STEM candidates. Changes in the global economy mean that workers require skills for emerging industries. Applying STEM skills and knowledge can deliver benefits, including the below:

new products and technologies
more efficient services and systems
higher quality health care
enhanced natural resource management

new ways to respond to environmental change
progress on tackling national and global challenges
better decision-making in governments and industry

(Source: Department of Industry, 2021)

Why STEM Education in Australia

The Australian industries assured to benefit from STEM include advanced manufacturing, health, energy, information and communication technology and agribusiness. These industries should seek to work together, and with other STEM-stakeholders, to build the pipeline of STEM-qualified candidates in Australia.
An Australian-based STEM qualified workforce should be industry’s end goal, knowing that all industry players will benefit from a local STEM-ready talent-pool.

Here, the Australian government, and particularly, universities can collaborate to provide STEM courses to university students. Private education businesses also have a role to play too. So too do industry and employer groups.

What is the role of Australian schools to progress STEM education in Australia? Broadly, providing Australian children with opportunities to engage in learning STEM. Any exposure to STEM would seem useful. Workshops allow both children and teachers to explore exciting possibilities. Longer term, STEM can be integrated into the Australian curriculum, particularly at secondary-school level, and aligned to ensure learning outcomes that contribute (in even a small way) to industry’s goals.

Then, universities can promote more advanced STEM to help in the longer-term objective for industry to be able to hire newly-qualified engineering graduates.

No matter who plays what role though, the central argument around advancing STEM is accessibility to all. Girls, women and those disadvantaged in the community (including those in regional and remote areas of Australia) should be more involved in STEM initiatives.

Mechatron Robotics Australia offers a range of STEM-related content for children aged 6-16, and for adults. Content can be delivered online, in small groups (4-8 students, typically), and face to face in engaging workshops and classes.

Machine Learning for Disables

Kiran Gupta | November 30, 2021

As we know, the individual with disabilities in India was stated as 21 million in the 2001 census of India. This is equivalent to 2.1% of the population.

How machine learning help building equipments for disables ?

Machine Learning for Disables can help those disabled people to improve their lives. With the marvel of machine learning doctors are now able to create smarter bionic prosthetics for any human in need of artificial limbs. Robotics engineering and VR research enable doctors to make sure better fitment of artificial limbs on humans. This could aid those with physical challenges to maneuver more naturally and experience higher mobility. Peoples face difficulties in performing daily activities like eating, grooming, mobility, etc. due to different disabilities. Technological aids like learning instruments, sign language apps, autism-friendly apps, electronic media etc could aid such persons. Using next-gen technologies, hybrid functionalities to support persons with disabilities through one device could be developed within the approaching decade.

Examples:

Kaden Bowen is a smiley 12-year-old who loves music and riding in fast cars. He also can’t walk or talk, is legally blind, and can only use the pinky finger on his left hand.

Kaden has cerebral palsy, and his father, James Bowen, has been trying out new technology to see if he can create tools that let his son have more independence. One such experiment led James to set up an Amazon Echo Show, a smart assistant device that uses AI to power its voice-control capabilities. Kaden already has a speaking device that has buttons he can press with his working finger to verbalize preselected words or sentences that communicate with the Echo.

James set it up so his son could ask for things like “Echo, tell me a joke” or “Echo, tell me the news.” He also programmed it so Kaden could call his cell phone, Kaden’s grandparents, and a few other people.

But Kaden did much more than that. While James and his wife were out one evening, Kaden, who was home with a babysitter, took it upon himself to use his speaking device to activate the Echo, tell it to call his grandfather, and then asked to go out on a car ride—which his grandfather was happy to do. Sharing that story in a Facebook post, James said that he was proud of Kaden’s initiative and grateful for the technology that made it possible.

“It was the first time since he was a toddler playing with a rattler that he was able to interact with something all by himself,” James says. “This Echo device goes way beyond ordering groceries or looking up a recipe for us.”

How AI changing the life of disables ?

Disabilities, whether related to vision, hearing, mental health, learning, cognition, or mobility, can be permanent, temporary, or even situational. Designing new products with different levels of abilities in mind—a concept called inclusive design—has gone a long way in ensuring that technology works for everyone.

Making design widely accessible also ends up being good for those without a disability. One of the first typewriters sprung from a creator’s desire for his blind friend—some say lover—to be able to write more legibly. Alexander Graham Bell’s mother was deaf and his invention of the telephone came out of his work with the deaf community.

More recently, audiobooks were created as a way for the blind to enjoy literature. Video captioning was invented to make content compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) but now is regularly relied on by anyone watching videos when they can’t listen to the audio.

Creating new tools could help integrate a segment of our population that has often been left out of routine daily life activities and job opportunities. The unemployment rate is twice as high for Americans with disabilities, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Worldwide, only one in 10 people who could use assistive products have access to them.

What are the Consequences of Not Embracing Robotics & AI?

Kiran Gupta | September 07, 2021

Humans have seen a lot, been through a lot, done a lot; some worth it, some not, some good things and some bad as well. Technological advancement has been the mainstay for us since the beginning of time. From lighting fire by striking two stones to programming robots, technological revolution and evolution has existed parallel to that of human evolution. Just like biological adaptation, humans have had to adapt to technological changes as well and on the hindsight, we can firmly conclude that science and technology have made things possible for us and other than the structure of our brain it is the scientific development over the years that has set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom.

The most vital of those revolutions are the four industrial revolutions: from the 1st in the year of 1784 to the 4th in current years.

Let us focus on the current of the four Industrial Revolutions, the 4th Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. The mainstay of this 4th revolution are Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Human Beings have always been afraid of change other than a select few and have been allergic to it because we are afraid of the consequences of change, we are afraid of the scope of change and the process of adaptation to the changes. But if we look back, can we deny that the 1st Industrial Revolution was necessary? Can we deny that computers were necessary? In fact, we cannot think of a society without Industry or electricity or computers. Was the process of adaptation to the inventions easy? Maybe not, but we have been through them and now we have adapted to the change, we don’t realise how good we humans are at adaptation.

What are the Consequences of Not Embracing Robotics & AI? We won’t be able to go ahead as these are the next big things. We cannot remain Neanderthals anymore. What would have happened if some of us chose not to embrace computers? We would have become vestigial limbs of the society. Robotics and AI has given us safety, efficiency and precision in whatever works they have been assigned to by the manufacturers or the clients. It will be foolish if we choose to turn a blind eye to this wonderful scope of change and if a company is myopic in terms of adaptability, that company might eventually cease to exist and become defunct. Think of companies like Grundig, Amkette; how big they were, cutting edge technologies and market leaders within their respective sectors during their heydays. Where are they now? Why do we see companies like Ford, Tata, Unilever, HSBC wither all kinds of storms since their inception and continue to be major players in the market? This is because the latter group of companies chose to embrace changes.

Robotics, AI, IoT are ell essentials. It depends on us as to how we use it to our benefits. If we can use them properly and don’t get over attached or addicted, this Industry 4.0 can be a beautiful thing.

I am Ishaan. I enjoy building and creating and my interests range from quantum mechanics to aerospace. I am an avid course taker and constantly is having at least one course, and I have also participated in many sports and other co-curricular activities.

About This Project

Hello everyone,

Thank You for viewing our project Home Automation System .

This system is designed to control the speed of the fan to cool a light a bulb.

We decided to build this project because today’s light bulbs tend to heat and this can cause blast in the house. Which could turn out to be a huge fire accident! So, we have made an automation system which could be controlled by your smartphone. This will cool out the bulb and the speed also you can control by just sitting and do the work.

There are 5 speed in the fan which can be controlled by the ‘volume up and down ‘buttons of the IR remote. The fan can be turned on by the ‘2’ button of the IR remote. The bulb can be turned on and off by the ‘1’ button of the IR remote. All the button you press will be displayed in the LCD. So, you can say this is a user friendly project.

Robotics and the Pandemic 2020

Rajesh Sharma | November 01, 2021

Humanity as we know has been taken on by a cold hearted, invisible enemy, a virus: The COVID-19 Coronavirus. Since the month of January 2020, till today as I type this article, in the battle between humans and the virus, it is the virus that is winning by a considerable margin. Current WHO statistics say 9,05,728 people are affected, 66,542 people have died across the globe because of this invisible, silent killer. This is an entirely new challenge for humanity and there are no vaccines or medicines made particularly for this disease, the doctors say, the primary way to combat this virus is ‘Social Distancing’, that is, staying away from people, avoiding crowded places, staying indoors.

However, essential services cannot cease to exist, food delivery, banking, hospitals, pharmacies etc must keep working for the sake of the survival of humans. So what about the medical workers then? What about the Police, the food and grocery delivery associates? These front liners are in direct risk of contamination of the virus as they have to come in direct contact with people. Even the gloves and masks they wear might not be sufficient enough to prevent the virus as we evidently see health workers getting affected on a daily basis.

Robotics and the Pandemic 2020

This is where Robotics can come in, robots can help reduce the human contact. They can help in proper social distancing. They can reduce the number of times a doctor or a paramedical team need to visit a quarantined patient and such robots have been in use in some of the countries around the world. Let’s site a few examples: There is a Robot called TUG, created by an US company named Aethon which is a nurse robot strolling through hospital corridors and delivering essential meds, towels, food etc to the desired patient on the desired bed number. Another example is the ‘Da Vinci Surgical System’ which is controlled by the hand movements of a trained surgeon to operate on a patient, the precision of this machine might be highly necessary for patients who are suffering from other conditions as well as from the coronavirus. These robots or machines help the doctors keep a safe distance between themselves and the patient as well as in reducing human error. Similarly, in case of delivery of necessary goods, companies like Amazon, Alibaba, etc has started using drones to deliver goods in many countries. Drones are also forms of robots which help in surveillance, delivery, etc.

Though we need human touch in every aspect of our lives, this is a unique situation where a human ‘touch’ can be fatal, and the touch of a robot might save lives and prove to be more efficient. Let us hope that humanity can work towards the creation of more such robots as well as a vaccine to combat the virus. We can definitely hope to win against the Pandemic as the virus is fighting alone, but we humans have robots in our team.

Key Elements Most of the Schools are Missing

Siddhartha Kumar | November 01, 2021

Key Elements Most of the Schools are Missing So, what is it look like in a school where your child can progress and bloom into an exceptional individual? 

 Infrastructure? 

School Fees? 

Crowd?   

Key Elements Most of the Schools are Missing

Well, everyone has different criteria but one key element remains the same:” The quality of teaching”. You always look for a school that has an atmosphere where your child can learn and prosper with minimal effort. So now what differentiates a normal school and a good school? 

 AC classrooms? 

Fancy canteens? 

Projectors? 

 No, it is the facilities provided to the child but where he can explore himself. Where the child can explore new fields himself and grow socially, mentally, and spiritually. 

Wondering how schools can bring in such a culture? 

Well, we got you covered  

It’s the Robotics Labs   

And  You can imagine how important Robotics Labs are when NITI Ayog itself has been promoting “Atal Tinkering Labs” 

 It helps the students in 3 keyways 

Creativity 

The creativity of the student’s increases  
Student’s question-asking skill increases which lead to deeper understanding and finding unique and creative solutions 
This helps the students in every aspect of their life  
If they are stuck in a problem, they start analysing the situation logically and find the required solution

DO-IT-YOURSELF ATTITUDE 

The students adopt DO IT YOURSELF attitude 
They start finding the solutions to problems by themselves 
They do not rely on others for basic work  
And our government has also been enforcing this value as being “Self-Dependent” 
They create a value of small things such as doing their laundry by themselves, fixing small electrical problems, cleaning, etc

Responsibility 

Students start taking responsibility for their work 
They start to behave in a disciplined way to accomplish their goals

They start performing well in all fields of life sports, academics, social life, etc

And this isn’t me telling you without any data  

These are 3 key qualities listed down by 5441 Indian schools teaching over 6,046,146 students in our country  

 So now you know what you look for in a school while you are hunting for admissions.
