The Future of Robotics: Insights from Mechanical

Engineering at DSIT
Once novel gizmos in Star War movies and other sci-fi films, robots are today a reality,
extensively used in several industries. Most of us would have seen robots welding,
painting and testing components in automotive companies, handling chemicals in
pharmaceutical companies or sorting quality products from the defective ones in
manufacturing plants. But thanks to advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), robots
are getting intelligent, can think and respond, and execute instructions. And experts say
the possibilities are endless. Let’s look at some of the future trends in robotics and how
they can impact our lives over the years.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - These are the two most promising
developments, and prime movers in the robotics space. AI enables robots to perform
tasks that would otherwise be too complex. ML enables robots to learn from their
experiences and add to their capabilities over time. This technology is being deployed in
devices such as autonomous vehicles, industrial robots, drones and similar devices and
the demand for such applications is expected to grow over the years.
Collaborative Robots - Collaborative robots or ‘Cobots’ are being designed to work
along with humans in various scenarios. While industrial robots are separated from
humans due to safety reasons, cobots can function safely alongside humans. They are
largely deployed in assembly, packaging and quality control
Soft Robotics - A fast emerging field, this space focuses on robots made using soft and
flexible materials such as silicone and elastomers. These robots are designed to adapt
to their surroundings and interact with objects in a more natural manner when compared
with the regular robots. These robots are expected to have a huge impact in industries
as diverse as healthcare, rehabilitation and manufacturing.
Swarm Robotics - Swarm robotics involves the study and development of large groups
of robots with simple functionality and how they could work together to achieve complex
tasks. Typically small and technically simple, these are made to work in synergy in large
numbers to achieve effective results. Applications could be in activities such as search
and rescue, environmental monitoring etc.
Autonomous Vehicles - One of the most widely discussed initiatives in recent times
and an area that’s attracted humungous investments and fierce competition between
some of the largest corporations in the world, autonomous vehicles are expected to
revolutionise the way we travel in the coming years. One of the most widely-discussed
applications in robotics, these vehicles are designed with sensors, GPS, and AI for
navigation and decision making. Self-driving cars and similar vehicles are poised to
transform transportation by reducing accidents, improving the flow of traffic and helping
in better space management.
Medical Robotics – Fascinating developments have been taking place in the area of
healthcare and medical robotics is one of the rapidly-growing fields transforming the way
procedures are being conducted and healthcare is being delivered. Robots assist
surgeons in performing surgeries, rehabilitation, patient care and a variety of other tasks.
Tasks can be performed with greater precision and accuracy, enabling skilled surgeons
to focus on special tasks in their service of society.
Humanoid Robots - Humanoid robots are designed to look like humans in appearance
and mobility. Although these robots are still confined to prototypes, they promise to
transform a range of industries. Applications of humanoid robots are expected to be in
the areas of entertainment, areas such as sales & marketing and education.
Augmented Reality - AR delivers visuals, sound, and other information through devices
such as smartphones or eyewear. Specially augmented information is overlaid onto this
visual stream to create an experience which is more informative and intuitive.
As we look towards the future of mechanical engineering, it's clear that robotics will play
a pivotal role in shaping the industry. From artificial intelligence to collaborative robots
and autonomous vehicles, the possibilities are endless. At Dayananda Sagar Institute of
Technology (DSIT), we are committed to preparing students for this dynamic field by
providing a comprehensive education that combines theoretical knowledge with hands-
on experience.
Through our diploma program in Mechanical Engineering, students have the opportunity
to delve into the exciting world of robotics and explore the latest trends and
advancements in the field. With state-of-the-art facilities and a dedicated faculty, we
strive to equip our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in this
rapidly evolving industry.
By staying abreast of emerging technologies and fostering a culture of innovation, we
aim to empower the next generation of mechanical engineers to make meaningful
contributions to society. Join us at DSIT and be part of the future of robotics and
mechanical engineering.
