Traditional robotics, known as Robotics Process Automation, is the process of automating physical tasks that would normally be done by a human. Much like the term machine learning covers a variety of methods and approaches, including deep learning approaches; robotics covers a wide variety of techniques and methods. In general, we can break these approaches down into two categories: traditional approaches and AI approaches.
Traditional robotic control programming takes a few steps:
- Measurement: The robot receives data from its sensors regarding actions to take for a given task.
- Inference: The orientation of the robot is relative to its environment from the data received in the sensors.
- Modeling: Models what the robot must do at each state of action to complete an action.
- Control: Codes the low-level controls, such as the steering mechanism, that the model will...
