Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Process Automation and Machine Learning

RPA (Robotic process automation)

1.    RPA is the process of integrating all the business operations with the help of robots to reduce human interference.

2.    It is the wide application of the technology controlled by the business logic. It is used to speed up the entire business process.

3.    It automates the business which is rule-based and structured.

4.    It uses ‘machine learning’ and ‘artificial intelligence’ capabilities to do the bigger volume workload, which was previously done manually.

5.    All the tasks to be automated here are queries and record.

6.    RPA is included with the system bots. They can work as a human worker.

7.    RPA bots can handle the entire application.

8.    RPA bots perform repetitive tasks much faster. This allows employees to perform higher-value work.

9.    RPA bot can be programmed to finish any repetitive task. This provides flexibility.

10.    RPA bots are easy to integrate. They can take the input and they can analyse the output of all the windows applications.

11.    RPA bots are divided into three categories i.e. Probots, knowbots, and chatbots.

12.    Probots follow the simple rules to process the data.

13.    Knowbots search the user-specified information through the internet.

14.    Chatbots are the virtual assistants. They keep on responding to the customer queries.

15.    RPA reduces the labour costs of the organization.

16.    RPA software adopts the newly changing environment.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

1.    It is the ability of the machine to perform all the tasks performed as like the human beings.

2.    AI are the programmed devices and software’s that behave as humans do.

3.    AI prepares the programmed device or software for the specified task and allows it to improve on its own.

4.    AI are trained programmes capable to perform and work independently.

5.    AI are classified as Narrow AI, Artificial general intelligence (AGI), and Artificial superintelligence (ASI)

6.    Narrow AI is sometimes called as weak AI. It performs the single tasks and it operates under the limited context. Ex. Alexa, Google Home, Siri, self-driving cars.

7.    ASI is the hypothetical AI. It is the way in which all the programmed devices of AI behave and think independently, and they suppress human intelligence.

8.    AGI are the strong AI, seen in the movies. Ex. Humanoid.

9.    AI is tested with the Turing Test, Cognitive Modelling Approach, Law of Thought Approach and Rational Agent Approach.

10.    Turing test finds out the artificial intelligence entity is effectively holding the conversation with the human agent.

11.    Cognitive Modelling Approach builds the AI model based on the human understanding.

12.    Law of Thought Approach applies the logical statements to the AI software’s.

13.    Rational agent tries to achieve the best possible outcome in the circumstances. It acts as a dynamic agent.

2.    ML focuses on the programmes that can access the data and use it to learn for themselves.

3.   The basic motive of the ML is to allow the computer programmes to learn and work themselves without any external output.

4.    ML is the statistics that make the predictions using the computers.

5.  Machine learning methods are classified as Supervised Machine learning, Unsupervised Machine learning, Semi-supervised machine learning, Reinforcement machine learning.

6.    Supervised Machine learning is the learning in which training is given to the machine with the help of data which is tagged with the correct answer. Ex. Basket is filled with different types of fruits. The first step is to teach the machine the different shapes of fruits along with the colour one by one.

7.    Unsupervised learning is the training of the machine using the information that is never classified and it allows the algorithm to act on it.

8.    Machine gathers the unsorted information according to the similarities without any training. In this case, no training is given to the machine.

9.    Semi- supervised machine learning is a combination of supervised and unsupervised machine learning.

10.    Reinforcement machine learning is the technique which helps the systems to learn by trial and error method.

11.    Machine learning requires careful preparation of lots of data.

Metal Synarios

Aluminium

·        Silver-white metal.

·        Firstly, found in 1824.

·        It is non-magnetic, ductile (ability to be drawn into a thin wire) and soft, conductive.

·        It is malleable (ability to be pressed into shape without breaking)

·        It has a great ability to resist the corrosion.

·        Chief ore of Aluminium is Bauxite.

·        It is three times lighter than iron.

·        It does not magnetize

·        It is easy in the processing and 100% recyclable.

·        It never catches the fire.

·        It is used as an alloy.

·        Aluminium has better thermal conductivity hence it is used for car radiators and A.C units.

·        It is cheaper than the stainless steel.

·        Melting Point: -660 degrees

·        Aluminium is manufactured in the two processes. The Bayer process of refining the bauxite ore to obtain the aluminium oxide and the Hall-Heroult process of smelting (extracting the metal from the ore by melting) the aluminium oxide to release pure aluminium.

·        Alumina, the intermediate substance that is produced by the Bayer process and that constitutes the raw material for the Hall-Heroult process, is also a useful final product.

·        It is a white, powdery substance with a consistency that ranges from that of talcum powder to that of granulated sugar. It can be used in a wide range of products such as laundry detergents, toothpaste, and fluorescent light bulbs.

·        Tensile strength of Aluminium increases as its temperature drops.

·        2kg of bauxite is required to produce 0.5kg of Aluminium.

·        First, you dig the bauxite from the ground, crush it up, dry it to leave just the aluminium oxide. Then you use an electrical technique called electrolysis (to split into aluminium and oxygen). Once it is done, the pure aluminium is casted into blocks known as ingots, which are used as a raw material for making the aluminium alloys.

·        Australia produces one third of world’s Bauxite.

·         Many cooking pots are made up of Aluminium.

·        Being a lightweight, Aluminium is used in architectural applications.

·        Ingots of Aluminium are about 16tons.

·        Used in transportation because of its strength and weight ex. Aeronautical applications and aircraft sealings and in bullet trains.

·        Non-magnetic the property makes it suitable to produce consumer goods as TV appliances, and electric appliances.

·        Due to lower density, Aluminium is used for long-distance power lines. Its ductile nature allows it to be merged easily with the wires. It's corrosion-resistant property is beneficial in the electrical industry.

·        Its non-toxic and odorless properties make it suitable for the packaging of food and pharmaceutical products and producing the pressure cooker and the cooking utensils.

·        Its sound absorbing nature makes it suitable to use as auto-bumpers.

·        Aluminium never produces any spark.

·        Average Aluminium content in the car will increase by 60% until 2026.

·        Current cost per kg in the Indian Market goes up to 131-133 INR.
