TopEvolution Of Robots
We have come a long way to the age of Artificial Intelligence. Decades ago, humans thought of autonomous machines for their domestic errands and industrial applications are very popular (Kanayama et al, 1990). Following back, the industrial revolution has planted the seeds for the development of robots, however the vision of robots traces back to the ancient world of mechanism. The discovery of robots is a hallmark in the history of mankind. It is an evolution to be thought off, from the single task machine to a digitally marked artificial servant. In general, the robots are the combination of science fiction and real life engineering technology. As like an Egyptian water clock (Cotterell et al, 1986), the robots have crossed several phases of structure such as progress, design and variations to the state-of-the-art robots driven by AI concepts. Dated after the Egyptian clocks, a second remarkable robot was built by Archytas, a bird-like machine that could be propelled into the air using steam (Merz, 1992).
Leonardo Da Vinci's sketch of the robot (Yates et al, 2011), analytical engine and automata kick started a new era in the history of robotics. The first industrial robots were created around the 1950s. The Unimate, Shakey etc. were designed for specialized industrial applications (Speck et al, 2017). The demand for autonomous machines in the service market has led to the burgeoning robotics field. Growing population, industrialization, increased investments has paved the way for use of robots for lucrative opportunities. Development of live cell robots (Ball, 2020; Popa, 2020 and Fields and Levin, 2020), first in the history of mankind, is yet another marvel to be thought off, beyond one's wildest dreams.
