Automation and Robotics Paula Sutton

The evergrowing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of robotics in recent times. Robotics is the branch of engineering that utilizes methods and systems from multiple industries for designing, building and operating of robots. Automation on the other hand is the design and development of a range of computer software to perform tasks that are commonly carried out by humans. This book aims to showcase how automation methods and technologies are applied in the field of robotics. Such technology is applied in multiple industries to reduce human labor and simplify complex industrial processes such as manufacturing, packaging, construction, etc. The various sub-fields of robotics along with technological progress that have future implications are also glanced at in this book. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the globe, on various topics related to this area of study. As this field is emerging at a fast pace, this book will help the readers to better understand the concepts of automation and robotics.
