Telepresence Robots As A Service Robot

Öz

Industry 4.0, which is the industrial revolution of the twenty-first century, is an approach based on the principle of minimizing the human factor with all its components in the mechanization and digitalization process and ensuring maximum efficiency in production processes. In order to adapt to the digital age, it is aimed to achieve cost optimization by adapting many components to the production processes at the same time or in different time periods. Within the scope of Industry 4.0, robot systems equipped with multiple hardware and advanced software, capable of imitating human behavior with artificial intelligence, initiating movement and controlled by computers, were included in the production processes. Telepresence robots, which allow remote control with a tablet or computer screen and stand, taking users away from time and space constraints, allowing to be in a different location and displaying activities in this location, have started to be used as a sub-title of this electromechanical system. Professional robots for health, accommodation, construction and agriculture sectors are developed, produced and sold. Telepresence robots have also started to be used in various fields with the opportunities they offer. In this study, the definition, working principle and general usage areas of telepresence robots, which is a very new concept and rarely mentioned in the literature, are mentioned.

Bir Servis Robotu Olarak Telepresence (Uzabulunum) Robotlar

Öz

Yirmi birinci yüz yılın sanayi devrimi olan Endüstri 4.0, makineleşme ve dijitalleşme sürecinde tüm bileşenleriyle insan unsurunun en aza indirgenerek üretim süreçlerinde maksimum verimin sağlanması prensibine dayanan bir yaklaşımdır. Dijital çağa uyum sağlayabilmek adına birçok bileşeninin ayı anda ya da farklı farklı zaman dilimlerinde üretim süreçlerine uyarlanarak maliyet optimizasyonunun sağlanması hedeflenmiştir. Endüstri 4.0 kapsamında üretim süreçlerine birden fazla donanım ve ileri düzeyde yazılımlarla donatılmış, yapay zekâ tabanıyla insan davranışlarını taklit edebilme, hareket başlatabilme kabiliyetlerine sahip ve bilgisayarlar aracılığıyla kontrol edilebilen robot sistemleri dahil edilmiştir. Kullanıcıları zaman ve mekân kısıtından uzaklaştırarak, bir tablet ya da bilgisayar ekranı ve standı ile uzaktan kontrole imkân veren, farklı bir konumda olabilme ve bu konum içerisinde faaliyet gösterimine imkân veren telepresence robotlar ise bu elektromekanik sistemin bir alt başlığı olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Sağlık, konaklama, inşaat, tarım sektörlerine yönelik profesyonel robotlar geliştirilip, üretilip-satılmaktadır. Telepresence robotlar da sunduğu imkanlarla çeşitli alanlarda kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada da çok yeni bir kavram olan ve literatürde çok az değinilen telepresence robotların tanımına, çalışma prensibine ve genel olarak kullanım alanlarına değinilmiştir.
