The emergence of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced computing, has brought critical changes in the evolution of robotics within the Indian context. Currently, we find ourselves at the zenith of a time whereby robots can liberate us from tedious and menial tasks including cleaning, cooking, or even babysitting. Let us take a look at scope and future of robotics in India.
Discovered Technologies
India makes extensive use of robotic technologies in numerous industries such as astronomy, nuclear energy, metalworking, weaving, automotive, and production sectors. It appeared to be a rapidly expanding field and opened up different avenues in the recent past. Most of the experts opine that robotics is primarily meant for the automation sector, which encompasses the likes of manufacturing, packing, and editing. Studies shows that robotics and automation on the same level as computer systems can induce revolutionary changes in the industrial dimensions of India.
Automation Sector
The use of robotics systems in various industries has also enhanced the level of performance, safety, and overall product quality coupled with allowing human workers to engage in more productive tasks. The most striking aspect of India’s effort to improve its health system is that, in highly creative ways, hospitals have already adopted robotic technology for operations and rehabilitation.
Job Risk
A report revealed that automation could put nearly two-thirds of jobs at risk in developing nations, though it will also create new roles. In the near future, experts expect robots to reduce labor costs in manufacturing, which may bring industries back from offshored locations that previously offered cheaper labor.. One approach that would be useful for Indian policymakers is to encourage innovations in robotic technology that help us in enhancing productivity at work, as opposed to those that threaten to take over jobs. This issue of robots taking over the jobs that are performed by humans has been emphasized by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
Future Scope
The rising water levels in the inventive initiative, ‘Make in India,’ will compel the surge in need for the robotics technology. The Indian robotics industry will soon cater to global manufacturing benchmarks and attract immense prospects from foreign investors. The government’s flagship programme, Make in India, enjoins on the need for integration of robotics as a pioneer industrialisation strategy, aimed at fostering the entrance of the best world manufacturers and developing fully mechanised supply chains. Robotics is an established requirement with a view to enhancing India’s global competitiveness, particularly when it is likely that overseas automotive manufacturers will open branches in India and seek to export vehicles from the country within acceptable international specifications.
If we want to improve Future of Robotics in India. We need to innovate and implement an Indian policy on robots to foster a bigger and more developed startup ecosystem to build indigenous robots.
