5 Top Trends in AI Robotics in 2022

Robotics has made massive advances in recent years. Fields such as Robotics Process Automation (RPA) are being deployed in more and more businesses.

RPA software is needed to combine organizational processes with the actions of the robots and AI inputs. RPA software automates repetitive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming tasks, minimizing or eliminating human involvement to drive faster and more efficient processes across the factory floor. Instead of having dozens of workers in a manufacturing plant, an RPA specialist can program and run robots to perform those duties. Typically, another person is involved to service, maintain, and repair the hardware.

But AI is taking RPA to greater and greater levels of functionality. Here are some of the top trends in AI Robotics:

RPA and AI

The latest trend is for RPA to be integrated with AI. This is an essential element of RPA being able to deal with high-volume, repeatable tasks. By moving these over from humans to robots, these tasks are taken care of in a way that lowers labor costs, workflows are made more efficient, and processes such as those on assembly lines are accelerated.

This is also simplifying the overall field of robotics. Instead of different teams using different software, industrial settings can now combine RPA software and factory automation systems. Historically, the robotics team utilized specific programming languages to deal with the areas such as the kinematics of multi-axis robots. Factory automation technicians used different languages and tools such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and shop floor systems. AI is helping to integrate these two worlds and add a greater degree of mobility and autonomy to robots.

“For stationary robots to work seamlessly with mobile robots, it is essential that they can exchange information accurately and without failure,” said Samir Patel, Senior Director, Robotics Engineering at Kawasaki Robotics USA.

Claims Processing

Over time, more and more tasks lend themselves to automation beyond just simple programming. Organizations are leveraging RPA, for example, to automate actions like understanding what’s on a screen and completing keystrokes, and identifying and extracting data.

“Health care is a good example, where such systems are being used to validate and process patient claims,” said Adam Spotton, Head of Data Science, DNSFilter.

Public Wi-Fi is table stakes, and unsecured Wi-Fi is risky business

While public Wi-FI can be very convenient, both for users and providers, it also introduces a number of security challenges. Unsecured or under-secured public Wi-Fi networks can expose users to cyber threats like identity theft, financial fraud and data breaches. Once they are connected, attackers can monitor all traffic, extract sensitive data, and even inject and spread malware.
