Opis

Robots have become an integral part of modern human life. With every passing year the population of robots is being increased. The industry has replaced a large number of human workers with lesser number of robots on the grounds of economy and efficiency. A robot is a modern version of slave, which perform any task in its capacity satisfying the old human instinct to rule. A robot follows the command as ordered by the human master. Therefore the humans can still enjoy mastering a thoughtless, speechless but efficient slave under their authority. To err is human. But industrialists do not accept the error prone human slaves in their industries due to the financial losses caused by the humanly mistakes. Another reason is the hostile environments in industry which causes serious threat to workers. Hence the trend to replace humans by robotic machines is escalating. Therefore, this book is inquisitively focused on developing a robotic machine that can mimic human hand working in industry.
