Preface

An automated machine that performs like a human and replaces the efforts of humans is termed a robot. When these kinds of devices get interlinked with other interdisciplinary technologies for better efficiency, speed, accuracy, output, management and operation, it is termed robotics. Research on the interdisciplinary branches of mechanical devices, data science, the Internet of things, solid-state devices, and others can together make automation more efficient, and it can lead to a revolution in robotics and automation in Industry 4.0. Whenever we say Industry 4.0, it means the fourth Industrial Revolution, which will not only lead the manufacturing sector to a greater height, but will also transform the service and communication sector. Industrial Revolution 4.0 will mostly deal with unmanned vehicles, 3D printing, advanced robotics and new materials. This revolution will support organizational efficiency. Many techniques and areas are designed, such as cloud computing, machine learning, nanobots, supply chain management, information security, etc. Hence, the main motive of this book is to explore the application and different technologies associated with robotics and automation in Industry 4.0.

The Objective of the Book

The objective of this book is to get insights into the tools and technologies of the automation-based Industrial Revolution, which mostly increase organizational efficiency by improving manufacturing, communication and services using new technologies. It also helps to understand different aspects of robotics and automation. It can help different users such as students, research scholars, academicians, industry people, etc.

Organization of the Book

The book contains 13 chapters that are organized into four sections as follows. Section 1 discusses the application and advancement of robotics. Section 2 highlights the application of renewable energy, which indicates the demand for a sustainable future. Section 3 discusses the systematic analysis and application of financial technology. Section 4 discusses some multidisciplinary areas along with techniques and applications.

Section 1: Robotics: Applications and Advancements (Chapters 1-3)

The section discusses different applications and advancements of robotics.

Chapter 1

This chapter discusses different types, principles and applications of nanorobots that are used in different emerging areas. It also discusses the principles of different explored and programmed bots for repairing specific targets.

Chapter 2

This chapter discusses robot path planning systems in a dynamic environment. The Deep Q-learning technique is used in this chapter by using a neural network. It helps to avoid different obstacles in the environment, which are dynamically created by the user.

Chapter 3

This chapter only focuses on innovative design analysis of customized solar frames but not the working of the solar frames or air purifiers. This innovative design is going to change the concept of cycling in the future.

Section 2: Application of Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future (Chapters 4-5)

The section discusses different renewable energy applications for power management based on a sustainable future.

Chapter 4

This chapter discusses a hybrid optimization technique for profit-based unit commitment. It solves the uncertainty issues for energy source management in wintertime and summertime. It helps reduce several noises that are related to gases that are harmful to fossil fuels and cause diseases and sicknesses.

Chapter 5

This chapter illustrates the impact of Industry 4.0 based on the manufacturing system. The chapter contains several challenges and opportunities based on data production and integrating new technology in the sector of manufacturing.

Section 3: FinTech: Systematic Analysis and its Applications (Chapters 6-8)

The section discusses the systematic analysis of financial technology based on new and innovative applications.

Chapter 6

In this chapter, the authors narrow down the overview of smart financial businesses and their complex challenges. It helps to manage the entire smart FinTech Ecosystem using the fusion of artificial intelligence and data science. It helps to enable smart FinTech and discusses some research problems among global academic and researcher communities.

Chapter 7

This chapter provides insight into blockchain methodology applied in IoT healthcare security. It helps to provide the potential for the medical care environment. It also discusses how customary clinical frameworks and organizations have been occupied with the medical services area throughout the previous years.

Chapter 8

This chapter provides a design development for pharmaceutical applications through the fusion of IoT and blockchain. In this chapter, it is suggested to avoid counterfeit drugs, delivering the pharmaceutical products to customers at the right time, and environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity are also monitored throughout the supply chain to avoid spoilage of pharmaceutical products.

Section 4: Multidisciplinary Approach: Understanding, Benefits and Applications (Chapters 9-13)

The section discusses a different multidisciplinary approach based on new technologies and techniques that help in the automation system.

Chapter 9

This chapter presents a holistic view of attrition and retention of employees on psychological aspects during this cut-throat competitive environment in India. Biology has a little role in management, though one cannot ignore biology in psychology. In broader terms, attrition is somehow related to psychology, and psychology and physiology are two sides of a coin.

Chapter 10

This chapter provides a system for predicting the changes in the ecosystem. The changes in the ecosystem affect the living creatures who depend upon the ecosystem. One of the subsets of machine learning that play a vital role in saving the lives of living creatures is deep learning, which is used in this work for prediction purposes.

Chapter 11

This chapter thoroughly examines solid-state drive subjects, ranging from the physical features of a flash memory cell to the design pattern. The subjects pertaining to the flash translation layer are described within the context of interconnected system-level operations.

Chapter 12

This chapter discusses profit-based unit commitment using the global and local search methods. It suggests the combination of chaotic maps with Harris Hawks Optimizer and chaotic Sine Cosine Algorithm advancement strategy and assesses the execution of the proposed improved technique considering Plug-in Electric Vehicles.

Chapter 13

This chapter discusses the classification of deep learning techniques for object detection. It uses an audit on a machine learning approach for classification. The applications of the protest location have been summarized, along with the diverse approaches to the location of the objects using template-based, portion-based, and region-based methods.
