For a long time now, the manufacturing and processing industry has been the only industry using robots. It was believed that robots could only help with hard and heavy tasks.
However, today, robots are in use in every field. Even in areas where it seemed impossible, robots are slowly taking over.
It’s no secret that incorporation of robots in any field has amounted in resounding success. This explains why they have rapidly gained popularity in the market.
Industries such as healthcare and agriculture have also been big beneficiaries of these robots.
Nonetheless, there are several industries which are slowly trying to find the role of commercial robots in their operations. These industries can quickly grow big if they implement robots correctly.
In this article, I’ll look into five of these industries.
Take a look.
Food and Hospitality Industry
We’re all used to seeing a cook or chef at a restaurant preparing meals and waiters serving our tables. Now, can you imagine having a robot as a chef or a bartender?
Well, the food industry is trying to incorporate commercial robots into their operations. They are trying to find out which is the best place for a robot to take over.
In some restaurants and coffee shops, robots can pull espresso shots and make good cappuccinos for their customers. Other restaurants use self-ordering tablets to order food. There’s also a restaurant which uses a robot bartender!
Some engineering companies are working on robots that could deliver food to tables like a waiter, and even to residential homes.
While these robotic functions may not be completely efficient, they have a significant impact on human labor and costs.
Military
The military is another industry that’ll transform with good use of robotics. No longer should our military men die avoidable deaths. With robots, a lot of deaths and attacks can be stopped.
Already, they’re using drones to take pictures and monitor hostile environments. The drones also perform search and rescue operations as well as attack the enemy camps.
Besides drones, the military can also use robots to detect areas with IDE’s. As such, they are sure of safety when they explore new territory.
Moreover, robots can carry heavy loads or machines without slowing down the soldiers. They can be useful in submarine controls, and aerial fueling.
Entertainment industry
This industry is yet another booming field that stands to make great strides with robotics. In fact, most people fear that robots and AI will completely take over this field.
The robots are active in fiction movies, in music and even concerts and shows. Today, companies like Disney are using autonomous robots to entertain crowds at amusement parks.
With the development of emotional intelligent robots in progress, this industry will significantly transform. In amusement rides, people are now using robotic arms for their entertainment.
In live music shows, musicians apply robotics to control the lighting and coordinate it with the performance. In movie sets, robots perform risky stunts to avoid injuring actors.
Cloth Sewing industry
Yes, robots are now into the sewing industry. For years, this industry has been dominated and characterized by manual hand sewing of clothes. Although it’s been useful for all that time, its time consuming, tedious and results in a lot of wastage.
Numerous major companies are working on automated sewing robots that will process even the complex sewing tasks.
This will enable companies to produce more clothes, reduce labor costs and improve the quality of clothes produced.
The fashion industry is thus bound to change with this technology.
Conclusion
Commercial robots are the future for all industries, that’s for sure. Its, therefore, essential to keep an open mind with robotics. With time, they’ll be a necessity for all industries.
The entertainment, cloth sewing, military and food industry are a few of the sectors that’ll benefit from commercial robots.
It’s up to you to strive and ensure that you make the most of the robots you have.
