Why Robotics

Three factors drive the adoption of robots: improved productivity in the increasingly

competitive international environment; improved quality of life in the presence of a

significantly aging society; and removing first responders and soldiers from

the immediate danger/action.

Economic growth, quality of life, and safety of our first responders continue to be key drivers for the adoption of robots.

The word “Robot” was coined in 1920 by Karel Capek and his brother, Josef Capek. Karel was a Czech writer looking for a word to call the artificial creatures in his play!

To read Karel Čapek’s drama R. U. R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) of 1921

Mechatronics is English-Japanese term coined by Mr. Mori in 1971 to describe the integration of mechanical and electronic engineering.

Mr. Tetsuro Mori

Origin

“Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of industrial products and processes”1

1 IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics

Sensing and perception research seeks the implementation of detectors, instruments and techniques for localization, integration and standardization of capabilities, proprioception, obstacle detection, object recognition, and the processing of that data into a system’s perception of itself and its environment

Mobility research includes design and of vehicles for surface locomotion, aviation, and maritime that use modes of transport such as tracked, wheeled and walking motion, paddling, wings, propelling, flapping, sliding, gliding, and many others.

Contemporary manipulation research is focused on force and position control, compliance, robotic hand-eye coordination, robot tactile control, dexterous manipulation, grasping, articulated multi-arm control, and tool use

Autonomous systems research seeks to improve performance with a reduced burden on crew and ground support personnel, achieving safe and efficient control and enabling decisions in complex and dynamic environments

Rethink Robotics

Modern Robotics is a branch of engineering technologies that involves the conception, design, manufacturing, and operation of intelligent systems. This field overlaps with electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence , electrics, mechanics, micro/nanotechnology, biology, medicine, etc.

Industrial Robotics“Manufacturing”

The manufacturing sector represents 14% of the GDP and 11% of the total employment.

Close to 70% of the net export from the U.S. is related to manufacturing.

The sale of robotics for manufacturing grew 44% during 2011

Robotics represents a $5B industry in the U.S. that is growing steadily at 8% per year.

Robotics industry is supported by the manufacturing industry, which provides the instrumentation, auxiliary automation equipment, and the systems integration adding up to a $20B industry

Industrial Robotics“Manufacturing”

The use of robots is shifting from big companies such as GM, Ford, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin to small- and medium-sized enterprises

There is a need to educate a new generation of workers for the factory floor and to provide clear career paths for young people entering the field of manufacturing

Last two years, robotics celebrated its 50-year anniversary in terms of deployment of the first industrial robot at a manufacturing site.

Healthcare and Medical Robotics

Robotics technologies are being developed toward promoting aging in place, delaying the onset of dementia, and providing companionship to mitigate isolation and depression.

Robots are also being used for surgery, rehabilitation and in intelligent prostheses to help people recover lost function.

More than 11 million people live with severe disabilities and need personal assistance

40+% annual growth in the number of medical procedures performed using robots.

Service Robotics

Service robotics is defined as those robotic systems that assist people in their daily lives at work, in their houses, for leisure, and as part of assistance to the handicapped and elderly, etc.

Service Robotics

Professional service robotics includes agriculture, emergency response, pipelines, and the national infrastructure, forestry, transportation, professional cleaning, and various other disciplines.

Professional service robots are also used for military purposes.

More than 110,000 professional robots are in use today and the market is growing rapidly every year

Typical service robots for professional applications.

Service Robotics

Typical service robots for personal applications

In 2012, 3 million service robots for personal and domestic use were sold, 20% more than in 2011. The value of sales increased in US to $1.2 billion

About 22 million units of service robots for personal use to be sold for the period 2013-2016.

The size of the market for toy robots and hobby systems is forecasted at about 3.5 million units, most of which for obvious reasons are very low-priced.

Key Challenges/Capabilities

Quality of Life: There is need for revolutionary transportation mobility solution

Agriculture: There is a need to address farmers’ constant struggle to keep costs

Infrastructure: There is a need to automate the inspection and maintenance of our nation’s bridges, highways, pipelines

Transportation: There is a need for intelligent highways to autonomous public transportation systems

Education: There is a need to provides students with a tactile and integrated means to investigate basic concepts in math, physics,

computer science and other STEM disciplines

Encouragement by sense of accomplishment: a student is building and programming a ground robot

Homeland Security and Defense: There is a need for viability of search and rescue efforts, surveillance, explosives countermeasures, fire

detection

Future

Roadmap Result

Robotics technology holds the potential to transform the future of the country

Adoption of robots in flexible manufacturing generates economic production systems

A key driver in adopting robotics technology is the aging population that results in an aging workforce

Robotics technology allows “human augmented” labor that enables acting on the vision of co-workers who assist people with dirty, dull, and dangerous tasks

Robotics technology will allow an acceleration of inshoring of jobs, and longer-term, will offer improved quality of life in a society

To achieve this, we need a paradigm that Inspire students to be science and technology leader, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based robotics and mechatronics research programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities, and that prepare them to the demands of the labor market.
