Think about a robot as a security guard, which can monitor your house, office and take pictures of suspicious people and intruders. On the other hand, a Firefighter robot can penetrate deep into the flames and extinguish fires at their core. All these robots are already developed and in the production line. Now days making simple robots are not a big deal, craze in this field is increasing day by day for making more complicated robots, which can do some complicated work for us. According to one research, intelligent robot market will reach US$500 billion by 2020 as the market for “intelligent” robots holds rich potential, with countries like Japan, U.S. and many European countries racing each other for the lead. There are many organizations like ROBOCON, TECHKRITI, which are organizing events and even competition on robotics. In the market you will get so many games related to robots in such games there is a given task and you have to complete the task by using sensors motors and controllers. For kids one Lego kit or Robotics invention system is available in the market by using this kit children can make their own robots i.e. own friends to play. This is fact that robots can't take place of a human being but this is also fact that robots are creature of human mind to make human life simpler and longer. Days are not very far when robots like R2D2 like in Star Wars movie that can think, talk and move themselves will be part of everyday life. Robotic vacuum is already available in the market and people like it. Some common tasks like when we will reach to our office they will keep everything ready for us. We simply have to go and work without taking care of opening the light, AC, windows and even for the parking of your car. Robots will be there for our service. In the coming years robots will be developed and launched commercially for education, medical and military purposes.
