Intelligent Automation can be used in industry to enhance productivity and efficiency, reduce operational risks, and improve customer experiences. This plays a vital role in any industry’s next-generation innovation. In Intelligence Automation, we use a software or hardware which has the ability to perform things automatically. This session helps to analyse the widespread integration of Automation and Artificial Intelligence and how it is helping the human lives.

The ability of the Autonomous Systems to make decisions for themselves, with little to no input from humans greatly increases the utility of robots and similar devices. However, due to this autonomous function, some experts and academics have questioned the use of AI in various jobs. Writers like Isaac Asimov considered the issue in many of his works. This session aims to provide an agenda within which researchers can anticipate the current and future ethical issues and to provide insights about what is, and is not, regarded as ethical behaviour.

The future Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform the world. Time since the Turing Test was proposed, computers have become so intelligent. Artificial Intelligence is fast becoming a major economic force. For sure It will be an integral part of the human life in future. However, an important question remains is that what will happen if the pursuit of strong AI succeeds and an Artificial Intelligence system becomes better than humans. We believe this session will help us to discuss, prepare and prevent such potential outcomes in the future.

Although the science of robotics only came about in the 20th century, for thousands of year’s man has been imagining Intelligent Mechanized Systems which can perform human-like works. In the modern era, the term ‘Robot’ has been introduced for the first time by Karel Capek in 1921. Today, one can visualize human-sized robots with the ability of near-human thoughts and works, which are being launched into space to complete the next stages of extra-terrestrial and extra solar research. This session is meant to go through the entire journey and go through the process of creating the human invented automation system.

Evolutionary Robotics is a computer-simulated technique of creating Intelligent and Autonomous Robots. The initial idea of encoding a robot control system into a genome and have artificial evolution dates back to the late 80s. Evolutionary computation can be used to design the physical structure of the robot. Neural Network is the most common type of controller used in evolutionary robotics. This session is designed to understand and discuss how to create a useful controller to complete many robotic tasks.

Just like any human being robots are also assimilation of many parts. All robot consists of some Mechanical, Electrical Components along with some computer programming. As more and more robots are designed for specific tasks components are also designed likewise. Robots can be created in many ways, using all manner of materials, however, most robots share a great deal in common. This session will help a lot of researchers, students to analyse the process of creation of robot and what are the future trend in this area.

We are now living in the smart machine era. Robots are playing an extensive and vital role in our routine life. It feels like science fiction is starting to become reality. Starting from home to workplace they are now in every sector. Robots are increasingly coming closer to us as smart technology allows people to control the functions of their home. As technology becomes more forward-thinking, it's clear that the world is changing and there's a good possibility that robots will be functioning in ordinary people's homes within the next decade or so.The main discussion point of the session will be how robots grow into an essential partner in our journey and how they are helping us to simplify our life.

Professionals are unanimous in predicting that long-term sustainability of healthcare systems could be met by automation driven by digital health technologies, such as artificial intelligence, 3D-printing or robotics. Robots can support, assist and extend the service health workers are offering.This session will highlight the role of these RoboticTechnology in our health care system and issues arising out of it.

Besides Earth, the only other planet that humans have set foot on is the Moon. However, Robotic Explorers have touched the Moon, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter, as well as a few comets and asteroids. In the space society, any unmanned spacecraft can be described as robotic spacecraft. For Space Robots, a big advantage is that they need neither food nor drink for survival and can function in very inhospitable conditions. This section will explore the Robotic Journey in space and will highlight how they become a helping hand in space exploration.

Now a days robots are being used in each and every sector in order to boost productivity and working efficiently.
