Industrial 4.0: Autonomous Manufacturing and Robotics

Abstract

AI, IoT, and machine learning are changing how things are made nowadays. Because of this, autonomous manufacturing and robotics are becoming more important. As companies move into Industry 4.0, these robots can help make factories more flexible, products better, and work more smoothly. Autonomous manufacturing uses AI to do jobs without people, so production can keep going without mistakes.
This paper looks at how to add autonomous robots to factories. These robots can make decisions in real-time, change how they work, and do more jobs automatically, which makes production better. We'll also check out robots that can work with people (cobots) and how robots are used for things like packing, moving stuff, putting things together, and checking quality.
Also, we'll explore why sensors, machine vision, and fixing problems before they happen are important. These things help robots work on their own, without much help from people. Even though autonomous manufacturing has a lot of good things, like less stopping, safer work, and cheaper costs, there are bad sides too. It can cost a lot to start, can be hard to add to old systems, can have computer security problems, and needs well-trained workers. The paper also takes a peek at what's coming next, like robots that work together in groups and AI that can make things better on its own.
