Artificial Intelligence is the storm that is creating abrupt changes in all fields. In one word we can say that the advancement of AI is the advancement of technology
because all objects are automated and the process of converting everything to automation is increasing. A system that thinks like humans are highly appreciated and the main cause of the evolution of technology. The combination of AI with 5G and its impact within the field of Robotics is irreplaceable. It might feel as though we’ve made a big step closer to a sci-fi reality in which AIs are real-world entities because generative AI systems like ChatGPT and StableDiffusion are currently the talk of the town. In point of fact, computer-based AI appears to be developing at a rate never before seen.
AI AND 5G TECHNOLOGY
The technology industry is abuzz with talk about AI and 5G and their potential to change everything. The fact that both technologies are universally applicable to a wide range of industries and are likely to alter the operations of many of them is interesting. In fact, there are unique use cases for each technology that are also inextricably linked to one another. Combining AI and 5G has the potential to accelerate both technologies’ adoption and impact. Due to their potential to enhance video conferencing, network capacity, and more, Covid-19 has accelerated the requirement for both technologies even further.
5G and AI work better together because they are used in so many different industries. As a result, there are many places where the two technologies can help each other out. AI’s existence on a continuum of compute—on-device, at the MEC (multi-access edge compute), edge cloud, cloud, or data center—is one reason why 5G and AI are so complementary. In order to maximize AI’s intelligence and responsiveness across all of these network layers and client devices, 5G provides the powerful and dependable connectivity required.
In contrast, AI can assist 5G in reducing the amount of data generated by client devices so that they only transmit pertinent data to the cloud. Due to the fact that both 5G and AI require computing power and connectivity, there are a lot of players in the IT industry. Since most businesses only specialize in one area, very few exist in the client and edge computing markets simultaneously. Huawei, MediaTek, and Qualcomm are a few of the client-side players in both 5G and AI at the moment. Before it sold its 5G modem division to Apple, Intel belonged to this small group of companies. MediaTek is now the primary provider of 5G modems. However, Intel will likely continue to integrate AI and 5G, albeit not to the same extent as other companies.
Combination of advancement in AI with robotics
Future AI systems may require robotic “bodies” to communicate with the outside world. If this is the case, will terrifying concepts like the self-repairing, shape-shifting T-1000 robot from Terminator 2 be realized? And is it possible to develop a robot that can “live” indefinitely? Energy for “life” Biological organisms like us require energy to function.
Food, water, and oxygen all contribute to our supply. The majority of plants can only grow if they have access to light. A constant supply of energy is also necessary for an everlasting robot. In the world of robotics, electrical power currently controls the supply of energy. The chemistry of batteries powers the majority of robots. Nuclear waste and ultra-thin diamonds are used in the core of an alternative battery type. The creators, a company called Nano Diamond Battery based in San Francisco, claim that the battery could last for tens of thousands of years. Such batteries would work best in very small robots. However, a different kind of chemistry—or even biology—may be involved in a more likely long-term solution for powering robots. In 2021, researchers from the United States Berkeley Lab and UMass Amherst demonstrated that the chemicals in the liquid that tiny nanobots swim it could provide them with energy.
Self-repair and immortal robot
If at all possible, a robot would repair itself. In 2019, a Japanese research team demonstrated that the PR2 research robot could use a screwdriver to tighten its own screw. This is akin to self-treatment! However, this method would only be effective if non-critical parts needed to be fixed. When soft robots are damaged, other research groups are looking into how they can heal themselves. A Belgian team demonstrated how a robot they developed recovered from six stab wounds to one of its legs. After a brief pause to allow its skin to recover, it walked away. Using other things, a robot might find in the environment to replace a broken part is another unusual idea for repair.
Necrobotics, what are these?
Dead spiders can be used as robot grippers, scientists said last year. Necrobotics is the name given to this type of robotics. The concept is to attach dead animals to robots so that they become a part of the robot and serve as ready-made mechanical devices. Necrobotics’ proof-of-concept involved “reanimating” a dead spider’s hydraulic legs with air to create a surprisingly strong gripper. Is Rice University’s Preston Innovation Laboratory a colony of robots? It is abundantly clear from all of these recent developments that, in theory, a single robot may be able to live forever. However, we have a long way to go. The majority of proposed solutions to the energy, repair, and replication issues have only been demonstrated in the laboratory, typically at very small scales and under tightly controlled conditions. Large colonies or swarms of tiny robots with a common mind or brain could be the ultimate solution. After all, this is how many insect species have developed. For a number of decades, the idea of an ant colony’s “mind” has been pondered. According to a 2019 study, ant colonies possess a form of memory that none of the ants themselves possess.
This idea fits very well with the possibility of one day having enormous robot clusters that could use this trick to replace individual robots as needed while keeping the cluster “alive” forever. In the end, it’s unlikely that the terrifying robot scenarios in a lot of science fiction books and movies will suddenly appear without anyone noticing. It is extremely challenging to engineer hardware that is extremely reliable, particularly when dealing with complex systems. There are no manufactured goods that can last forever or even hundreds of years at this time. We will also have the opportunity to incorporate some safeguards in the event that we ever create an immortal robot.AI is directly impacting the changes we humans implement in society and everyone of us are contributing to it either directly or indirectly.
