The development of robotics and automation has revolutionized the market with the increasing use of robotics and autonomous agents in various industry.
Robotics and autonomous agents can be used in factories to identify the effectiveness of each worker. Amazon is one company that uses robotics and autonomous agents to retrieve goods from their warehouses.
What Is Autonomous Agents Robot?
Robotics and autonomous agents are systems that are able to interact independently and effectively with their environment through their own sensors and effectors to perform some of the tasks assigned by the user.
McKinsey estimates that the use of robotics and autonomous agents could contribute $1.9 – 6.4 trillion per year to the market by 2025.
Characters of Robotics and Autonomous Agents
Some of the characters of robotics and autonomous agents, namely:
- Adaptive: Can adapt to changes in various environments
- Robust: Minor changes cannot interfere with the agents’ behavior
- Tactical: Able to maintain goals and adjust certain goals based on the situation at hand
- Versatile: Can perform a wide variety of tasks
Research from Ernst & Young found that about 93% of HR’s time is spent repeating the same activity. Therefore, it is estimated that at least 65% of HR activities can be automated.
This is where robotics and autonomous agents play a big role with the use of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). RPA is a technology application governed by business logic and structured inputs to automate business processes.
RPA can automate many things such as analyzing opportunities, workflows, mass personalization, or advising HR.
Advantages of Companies Using Robotics & Autonomous
The following are the advantages of companies using robotics and autonomous agents:
1. Increase Organizational Effectiveness
Helping companies to improve service effectiveness by being faster and at lower costs than the previous method
2. Performing difficult and dangerous tasks beyond human capabilities
Can do jobs that are difficult for humans to do, such as working in the depths of the ocean, nuclear power plants, or performing complex operations in remote locations
3. Identical to each other
All robots operate in the same way so the user only needs to learn to operate the robot system once to operate another similar system
4. Continuous improvement
Keep improving and updating devices for better performance
5. Solving labor problems
Help attract HR to work in the company and overcome the problem of labor shortages
Steps to Design Robotics & Autonomous Agents
The steps that companies can take to design robotics and autonomous agents are based on two approaches, namely:
1. Traditional approach (traditional approach)
- Modulate cognitive components such as perception, world modeling, and planning
- Start by designing the architecture of the whole system
- Develop other components separately
2. Bottom-up approach
- Start by applying a simple form of system behavior
- Consider all components from perception to action to be executed by the system
- Add more careful behavior gradually
