The
Department of Computer Applications, Chevalier T. Thomas Elizabeth College for
Women organized an International Panel
Discussion on “Robotics in human life” on 30/05/2022 at 1 pm.
The
panel was enriched by four eminent speakers in distinguished fields of
robotics. They were Speaker 1 - Dr. Mayank Mathur, The Christie NHS Foundation
Trust, Manchester, UK followed by Speaker 2 - Dr.S. Shanthi, Principal,Care
Engineering College, Trichy, Speaker 3 - Mr. Arun Kumar Natarajan, Process
Automation Specialist, FLSmidth and Speaker 4 - Mr. Praveen Kumar,Co - founder,
Vbind Innovations, Chennai.
The
Session was started by Dr. Mayank Mathur enlightening and focussing in the
areas on Robotics in Medical Care and surgery. He emphasized the usage of
Robotics in Saving human life in various traumas. This helped the students to
understand the societal use and life saving cause of “Robotics in Human Life”.
The
next panel member Dr. S. Shanthi focussed the Research areas in Robotics and
influence of Artificial Intelligence in the workplace, she also explained about
the robotics in research areas related to medical technologies enabled robots.
She helped the students to understand the concept of Neural Networks and
Machine Learning as the early stage of understanding the technologies. She
showed a live demo of Da vinci Surgical Robot systems and how it has been used
to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis and Physiotherapy.
Followed
by the Next Panem member Mr. Arun Kumar Natarajan started his discussion on
explaining about the RPA (Robotic Process Automation), where Robots is used in
business, Benefits of RPA, how humans and robots are bonded here - Cohesions of
human and bot, who provides the RPA solutions, He explained clearly about What

reply to the comments. He also explained the 3D printing technologies and 20 Kg
Drone to carry various ICE boxes, drugs and organs and Home Automation
Assistance systems. He also explained the Prosthetic hands and legs for diabled
using 3D modelled printers, Web Applications, IOT Applications, etc.,
The students discussed with panel members by
asking various questions related to robotics. The entire panel discussion was
more motivation and inspiration for the students to know about the various
fields of Robotics in Human Life.
