2. Definitions Robotic Technology:


Robotics is a broad, interdisciplinary one that involves many different
technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensor data fusion,
embedded computing, perception, appreciation, communication,
planning, learning and navigation (Huosheng 2012). Robotics means
developing of robots with the sequential steps and supported by good
documentation then they are contributed to the field for which they
have been developed not only to help the humans but also to simply
their tedious work which will be highly used in the field where highly
use of critical thinking is not required for e.g. dish washing,
manufacturing company, transportation and car industry etc. They
are not only industrial robot but also the robots who can do the
household. Robotic is ongoing technology which act as an intermediate
to meet theoretical studies into practical work. Robotics, which is
dedicated to both the foundations of artificial intelligence, bio-
mechanics, mechatronics and control theories, and the real-world
applications of robotic perception, cognition and actions (Huosheng
2012).

Robotics are used in different industries like automobiles, assembling,


emergency and medicine. For automobiles the robots are developed
with real-time tactile feedback for delicate assembly and machining to
process variations of works with the sensitivity of the human hand.
Here, robots can mimic motions of human arm to find the correct
position to assemble a part. (Spiegel 2014). The robots used in the
field of assembling are known as Industrial robots where they are
taught with the steps they must do follow during their span. Robots
used in this field perform the task like welding, painting, glass and door
installation, etc. (Wan 2017). The robots used in emergency field are
called soft robots. They can be transformed into any size by exploiting
their ability to change shape and size. Most importantly it can be used
in case of emergency buried case where it is impossible for human to
go through and it can be used to detect the identify and repair pipes in
hazardous situation (Trimmer 2013). The robots used in medicine field
are termed as medical robots. These types of robots are highly used
during laparoscopy, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, emergency
response, and various other medical disciplines (Beasley 2012).

2.1 Opportunity for growth using Robotics:


Digital age together with other sciences like mechatronics,
nanotechnology, genetic and so on is step for Space Economics,
some other progress are going to change business and economics
directly or indirectly more than other developments. These
progresses are named Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. The
Industrial Age has been started by the industrial revolution and
mechanization primarily in UK and by car makers (McKenzie, 2015).
Domestic service robots are a fast growing market, particularly in
applications traditionally carried out by conventional human driven
appliances such as vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers. The eco-
design approach leads to reduction in energy consumption along
with the environmental impact over their life cycle, as well as other
benefits such as longer autonomy.
The advancement of industrial robotics has caused to become more
wide spread across various industries ranging from manufacturing
to health care. Robots offer speed and accuracy that cannot be
achieved with human labour. Robots can also reduce operating
costs, reduce scrap and are flexible for future changes. Few other
manufacturing solutions can reduce waste as well as robots
designed into the system properly. Robotics capabilities have only
increased with time, while costs have continued to fall. Major robot
manufactures are constantly upgrading their robots with increased
payload capacity, greater accuracy, increased reach and range of
motion, improved speed and acceleration, faster communication
with external equipment, better safety features and lower
operational costs. Many people believe the misconception that
robots have taken away jobs from workers, but that is not
necessarily true. Robots have created new jobs for those who were
once on production lines with programming. They have pulled
employees from repetitive, monotonous jobs and put them in better,
more challenging ones. Today robots are user-friendly, intelligent,
and affordable (Singh, Sellappan & P. 2013).
So, the company will mainly focus on manufacturing industries for
its growth in present as well as in near future.

2.2 Advantages and disadvantages with Robotic Technology:


2.2.1 Advantages of Robotic Technology:
The robots can perform the tasks which the humans find them
dangerous, boring or difficult. They can do the work without feeling
sick. Robots can be programmed to perform a simple task, they repeat
that task more times, can work in the factory with high degree of
accuracy and they work with constant velocity. Robots help increase
the number of manufactured products and decrease the production of
defective goods, they can produce the same quality products during
the production process. They do not get exhausted and they work for a
long period of time. Robots can be used in the computer industry, they
are used in all kinds of electronics from the radios to the microwaves,
they are used in packaging, used in producing the food, textiles and
drugs.
The intelligent robots help increase the productivity in the factories,
they made the business achieve more benefits, they can reduce the
companies loss, they are used in dangerously polluted environments
such as chemical spills and radioactive in the nuclear power plants and
they are used in the radioactive waste clean.
2.2.2 Disadvantages of Robotic Technology:
The industries prefer utilizing the robots than the human workers. So
the unemployment rate will increase and many people who can get
work will become poorer while the company owners will get richer. The
companies should calculate a lot of money greater than the financial
budget and they need regular maintenance which costs a lot of money.
The robots can work in the factory with limitations. The human do the
tasks that require creativity, decision-making, adaptation and job
learning. If the employees have no experience to deal with the robots,
they will need training program to interact with the new robotic
equipment, it will take time and cost a lot of money in the financial
output.

3 Various risk for the organization


The problems (challenges) are framed with the environmental, cultural,
structural, political, socioeconomic, and resource constraints so that
solutions can be developed, deployed, and sustained. According to the
United Nations Mine Action Service, land mines kill 15,00020,000 people
every year (mostly children) and maim countless more across 78
countries.
Cost US$3001,000 per mine, and, for every 5,000 mines cleared, one
person is killed and two are injured. Thus, clearing post combat regions of
land mines has proven to be a difficult, risky, dangerous, and expensive
task with enormous social implications for civilians. Motivated by these
considerations, the first HRATC edition took place at the 2014 International
Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Hong Kong and remotely
in Coimbra, Portugal. It focused on promoting the development of new
strategies for autonomous land mine detection using a mobile (ground)
robot.
The environmental benefits or drawbacks of using robots instead of
human power to perform everyday tasks are not clear. Service robots in
general draw power from batteries carried on the robot, which have
limited charge capacity and constrain the operational time of the robot.
This problem presents itself as a challenge for manufacturers to design
products that are more energy efficient to extend battery time (Almeida,
Fong 2012).

4 Aspects:
4.1 Security:
GPS and a laser ranging instrument help the robots find their way around
their patrol area and avoid obstacles when on duty. The trend is
accelerating as robots are made ever smarter, more agile, and more
adaptable to specific tasks. And while most robots are do assembly-line
work. Robots save workers from performing dangerous tasks. They can
work in hazardous conditions, such as poor lighting, toxic chemicals, or
tight spaces. They are capable of lifting heavy loads without injury or
tiring. Robots increase worker safety by preventing accidents since
humans are not performing risky jobs.
4.2 Ethics:
The Robotics Revolution promises a host of benefits that are compelling
and imaginative but as with other emerging technologies they also come
with risks and new questions that society must confront. This is not
unexpected, given the disruptive nature of technology revolutions. Here
the myriad issues three broad areas of ethical and social concern and
provide representative questions for each area(lin, Abney, Bekey 2012).
5 Solution to Overcome:
Humans have limited abilities to judge risk associated with their choices,
particularly given their use of availability and representative heuristics as
cognitive shortcuts, along with other forms of cognitive fluency seeking.
These provide good enough timely solutions in an evolutionary landscape
but can poorly suited to novel, complex situations. For example, human
judgement of risks typically weighs impact over likelihood, and
exaggerates low probability events (Ayoub, Payne 2016).
6 Conclusion:
The research determines that robotic technology will bring benefits and
helps to expand Bin Tech organization all over Australia and also in Asia
regions. By use of robotic technology the works will be fast which means
there will be more manufacturing in industry.
