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 is RPA and What is not RPA?
