Why learning Robotics in school is necessary

In today’s tech savvy world, children are getting exposed to technology more than ever. Learning through gadgets is already on another level. Even schools realize that more tech- friendly the school is, more popular it will be. Then why not teach our children something which is their future. Robotics is no more a buzz word. Even Government of India is aware that if we want our children to be ready for the world tomorrow, they should be taught Robotics as early as possible. Some of the benefits are:           By incorporating Robotics in the curriculum, we are opening a whole new world of opportunities for our children. Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data are the technologies of today. By learning Robotics in the early age, we are setting up a base for them to learn these skills.           Teaching Robotics is a method to inculcate curiosity in a child. When a child plans, designs and implements his own machine, he is not only taking a step towards tech

Robotics and Automation – History and a Step Ahead

Industrial robots have come a long way today. They are used in every aspect of life possible – right from manufacturing the car to creating the human organs. Let’s go into origin of robotics. History of Robot Leonardo da Vinci was the first person who conceptualized the idea of a robot. He designed the first self-propelled wagon, which was powered by clockwork springs. He also created a drawing of the earliest recorded humanoid, his knight in armor. This early robot could in theory perform several movements including sitting and waving. It is unknown, if this humanoid was ever created. William Grey Walter, a renowned scientist wanted to proof that a strong connection between a small number of brain cells can result in a complex behavior. To demonstrate that, in 1948, he created Walter’s tortoise. These tortoises were simple two cell systems, which demonstrated several behaviors like obstacle avoidance and the ability to move towards and away from light. These are seen as

Are You ready for Future?

As the machine grows ever more intelligent, they emerge not only as powerful tools but also as close companion. We are standing on the crossroads where the technology is developing immensely and rapidly. Soon the robots will take up all repetitive and mundane jobs. World will not be the same as it looks like today.  Are our kids ready for the future? Are we doing enough to armor them to face the challenges of tomorrow? Robotics is the fastest developing technology.  In 2014, BCG (Boston Consulting Group), projected that the global market for Robotics would reach $67 billion by 2025. In 2017, they have revised their estimation sharply upwards to $87 billion by 2025 – mostly because of soaring customer demands. Experts see robots playing a significant role in children’s emotional, social and cognitive development in the near future. Children not only gain confidence, but also it is empowering and profound experience for them, when they see the machine they have made,
