  Introduction The term automationis inspired from the word “automatic”. It is one of the greatest invention of technology. Automation is the technique of operating an equipment by the help of a controlled system with minimum human efforts or involvement. It not only reduces human efforts, but also saves time. In other words, automation means the replacement of manual operations by machines or technologies to optimize productivity in the production of goods and delivery of services. It provides the quality, reliability, productivity and efficiency which is beyond the possibility of human labor levels. Automation are of many types industrial, process, factory, distribution etc.

  Trends Robots such asBaxter, from Rethink Robotics, and UR10, from Universal Robots, have arms; screens which show you their emotions; and sensors that detect what is happening around them. The cost of operating these is less than the cost of human labor. In the next decade, robots will likely go on strike, because we won’t need them anymore. They will be replaced by 3D printers. Within 15 to 20 years, we will even be able to 3D print electronics. Imagine being able to design our own iPhone and print it at home. Apple recently announced Health kit, its platform for health information. It wants to store data from the wearable sensors that will soon be monitoring our blood pressure, blood oxygenation, heart rhythms, temperature, activity levels, and other symptoms.

  Bitcoin is aninnovative payment network and a new kind of money. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks; managing transactions and the issuing of bitcoins is carried out collectively by the network. With cardless transactions for purchasing goods, we won’t need the types of physical banks and financial institutions that we presently have.

  Interest Areas My interestarea in automation is robotics. If given a chance to work in this topic I want to make a robot that will provide security and will replace human security guards or a robot that can scan and give all the details regarding health i.e , blood sugar, blood pressure, a routine check up and warn us before we fall sick, a patient would not require to go for regular check up to the doctors. Thank You!!
