Abstract
These days, automation plays a major role in all sectors of society and the technology of robotic automation is very much in demand along with other significantly trending concepts such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing. Many people are showing interest in purchasing things which have process automation; for example, do not increase speed once they reach a certain point and automatically turn off the water tank when it is about to overfill. Robotics is also the technology where when an instruction is given to the device it acts accordingly based on the user instruction. When we want the robot to perform based on the user instruction, we first have to train the device or robot with the instructions for the particular task we want to do. For example, if we give a data set to the robot for creation of coffee and we give an instruction to the robot to “Prepare Tea,” the robot doesn’t respond to the request because the request doesn’t match the available datasets in the robot. In this chapter, I will focus on
