Abstract

Robotics and intelligent systems have been introduced as a disruptive discipline involving mechanical engineering, computer science, electronics, and artificial intelligence in the production of autonomous and adaptive machines. The high rate of development of computational power, sensor devices and smart algorithms has greatly broadened the application of the robotic system far beyond the conventional industrial automation. Contemporary robots have come to be able to perceive, learn, make decisions and interact in real time with dynamic environments. The present research paper provides an in-depth discussion of robotics and intelligent systems, their history and development, system architecture, main parts, and the technologies they are based on. The paper discusses the uses of artificial intelligence methods including machine learning, computer vision, and intelligent control to improve robotic workability and autonomy. The important areas of application such as manufacturing, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, defense, and service robotics are covered to demonstrate how intelligent robotic systems are important in practice. Besides, the paper also evaluates the issues related to robotics, including the complexity of the system, safety, ethical considerations, and social influence. The future trends such as human-robot collaboration, digital twins, swarm robotics, and integration of Internet of Things are also noted. This paper provides an insight into the significance of responsible innovation and interdisciplinary research to influence the future of intelligent robotic systems to create sustainable technological development.
