## Abstract

Robotics is the science of creating and assembling tangible robots to enhance automation and creativity. Engineering and computer science are combined in the field of robotics, which deals with the creation, manufacturing, and use of robots. Robotics is undergoing a fast evolution with ground-breaking discoveries that are changing entire sectors and societal contexts. Recent advances in AI have accelerated robotics' progress toward more flexibility and autonomy. There are many different types of robotics. A robot could be an artificial intelligence (AI) device that looks like a person, or it could be a robotic application like robotic process automation, which resembles how people interact with software to carry out repetitive, rule-based tasks. The continued convergence of robotics with artificial intelligence, materials science, and other interdisciplinary domains holds the potential to open up new avenues for automation and human-robot cooperation. This study offers an overview of the most recent advancements in robotics, including significant technological innovations, cutting-edge applications, and developing trends

Swarm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of robots that coordinate and cooperatively solve a problem or perform a task. It takes inspiration from natural self-organizing systems, such as social insects, fish schools, or bird flocks, characterized by emergent collective behavior based on simple local interaction rules
[1]
,
[2]
. Typically, swarm robotics extracts engineering principles from the study of those natural systems in order to provide multirobot systems with comparable abilities. This way, it aims to build systems that are more robust, fault-tolerant, and flexible than single robots and that can better adapt their behavior to changes in the environment.

This paper provides an overview of collaborative robotics towards manufacturing applications. Over the last decade, the market has seen the introduction of a new category of robots—collaborative robots (or “cobots”)—designed to physically interact with humans in a shared environment, without the typical barriers or protective cages used in traditional robotics systems. Their potential is undisputed, especially regarding their flexible ability to make simple, quick, and cheap layout changes; however, it is necessary to have adequate knowledge of their correct uses and characteristics to obtain the advantages of this form of robotics, which can be a barrier for industry uptake. The paper starts with an introduction of human–robot collaboration, presenting the related standards and modes of operation. An extensive literature review of works published in this area is undertaken, with particular attention to the main industrial cases of application. The paper concludes with an analysis of the future trends in human–robot collaboration as determined by the authors.

The difficulties associated with designing, building, and controlling robots have led their development to a stasis: Applications are limited mostly to repetitive tasks with predefined behavior. Over the last few years we have been trying to address this challenge through an alternative approach: Rather than trying to control an existing machine or create a general-purpose robot, we propose that both the morphology and the controller should evolve at the same time. This process can lead to the automatic design of special-purpose mechanisms and controllers for specific short-term objectives. Here we provide a brief review of three generations of our recent research, which underlies the robots shown on the cover of this issue: Automatically designed static structures, automatically designed and manufactured dynamic electromechanical systems, and modular robots automatically designed through a generative DNA-like encoding.

The rapid development of robot technology has introduced a substantial impact on manufacturing. Numerous studies have been carried out to apply collaborative robots (cobots) to address manufacturing productivity and ergonomics issues, which has brought extensive opportunities. In this context, a systematic literature search in the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases was carried out by electronic and manual search. Thus, 59 relevant contributions out of 4488 studies were analyzed by using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA). To provide an overview of the different results, studies are summarized according to the following criteria: country, author, year, study design, robot category, results, and future opportunities. The effects of cobots on safety, system design, workplace design, task scheduling, productivity, and ergonomics are discussed to provide a better understanding of the application of cobots in manufacturing. To incentive future research, this paper reviews the development of cobots in manufacturing and discusses future opportunities and directions from cobots and manufacturing system perspectives. This paper provides novel and valuable insights into cobots application and illustrates potential developments of future human-cobot interaction.

Collaborative robotics is an umbrella term that vehicles the general idea of proximity of machines to humans for some useful task, not necessarily continuously/synchronously in a shared spaces. Useful tasks implicate benefits for workload of factory operators (e.g. cognitive and physical ergonomics) or for quality and productivity (e.g. more accessible layouts, troubleshooting, frequent process observation, etc). Current state of the art of collaborative robotics in industry is the result of a long legacy of research and development in control theory, major effort in actuation and mechanisms design in 2000s resulting in commercial outcomes, and abundant literature about improving control performances and intuitive interaction modes. Safety technology and standardization is reported as a coupled subject with respect to machinery design and equipment, since safe collaborative robotics aims at identifying hazards and estimating risks of applications, and reducing such risks by a combination of different strategies and options available for different classes of robot systems.

### The Challenges and Prospects of Policing in Nigeria's Transitional Democracy: The Latest Innovation...

January 1970

Democratic principles permeate policing strategies to the extent of reducing avoidable harm and deaths through the use of non-lethal weapons. This work therefore, is a concise analysis of one of the latest innovations in the application of non-lethal weapons in intelligence gathering and policing, known as LED In-capacitors (or LEDI, with LED standing for light emitting diodes). It could give law ... [Show full abstract] enforcement and security agents, yet another way to subdue a violent subject depending on test results at the Pennsylvania State University's Institute for Non Lethal Defence Technology. For the Nigeria Police, it presents enormous challenges for a police Force that is battling vigorously to break away from its colonial heritage, military attributes and institutional deformities in an emerging democracy.
