Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven robotics is a rapidly evolving field that is transforming various industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, security, retail, agri-food, and construction. The integration of artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning techniques has propelled robotics beyond mere automation, enabling machines to modify, alter, adjust, learn, and interact with the world in ways previously deemed science fiction. The relentless pursuit of creating intelligent robotic systems has led to a symbiotic relationship between human inventiveness and AI, with AI-driven autonomous cars, drones, and robots transforming transportation, healthcare, and exploration. It offers flexibility and learning capabilities, transforming the way machines interact with humans. The integration of AI and robotics marks a transformative era in which machines become companions and cognitive extensions of human capabilities. In the future, we expect AI-driven robotics to bring significant changes to employment and societal well-being. However, the development of AI-driven robotics, which is the integration of AI and robotics, faces numerous challenges, including ethical concerns, legal issues, regulations, societal implications, and job market impacts for the proliferation of intelligent machines. Furthermore, it also presents challenges in terms of technical complexities in its development.
