Robotics and Automation -...

Craig Dames

Robotics and automation have rapidly evolved from niche technological concepts to central pillars of modern industry and society. What once belonged to the realm of science fiction is now an integral part of how we produce, communicate, transport, and even care for one another. Understanding the foundations of these technologies is essential to grasp how they are reshaping the future of work. 
The journey of robotics dates back to ancient times with early mechanical inventions, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that programmable machines began to take shape. The term "robot" gained popularity in the early 1920s, yet the real development of industrial robotics didn’t gain momentum until the 1960s, when the first robotic arms were introduced into assembly lines. Since then, robotics has grown exponentially, encompassing everything from humanoid robots to autonomous drones and AI-driven service machines. 
Automation, often linked closely with robotics, refers to the use of technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. While automation began with simple mechanical devices, today it incorporates advanced software, machine learning algorithms, and sensor networks. Modern automation extends beyond factories and is now seen in financial services, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, and even our homes. From smart thermostats to self-checkout systems, the influence of automation is becoming ever more visible in daily life.

Hero of Kumaon - The Life of Jim...

Duff Hart-Davis

 Jim Corbett became the hero of thousands of impoverished local families in the remote Indian region of Kumaon when, throughout the 1920s and 30s, he answered their pleas to rid them of the man-eating tigers and leopards which were ravaging their populations. Man-eaters roamed a region of hundreds of square miles over several years, killing the defenceless villagers at will: for example the Champawat man-eater had killed over 434 people in six years, the Panar maneater over 400. 
   
 Jim, one of 15 children, was born in 1875 to the local post-master in Nainital, and taught himself as a barefoot boy in his local jungle to become, in his spare time one, of the most skilled trackers of his day, fluent in the local dialects, patient beyond endurance and an excellent shot. 
   
 Duff Hart Davis' biography threads together the life of this very private, unassuming Indian railway clerk. Often through Jim's own written words, Duff sets out the highlights of Jim's adventures in sequence and in context, thus thowing light on Jim's remarkable character.
