Book by Dr. Sreekumar Krishnan | Genre: Information Technology
In a world racing toward automation and intelligence-driven systems, From Bolts to Bots: A Journey from Machines to Machine Learning stands as both a timeline and a roadmap. Written by the accomplished technocrat Dr. Sreekumar Krishnan, the book takes readers on an insightful journey—from the era when machines were assembled with nuts and bolts to today when machines possess the power to learn, predict, and make decisions through Artificial Intelligence.
The book is grounded in the author’s 35+ years of multidisciplinary experience, touching almost every corner of the engineering and business spectrum—from plant operations and maintenance to digital transformation and AI-led solutions. Rather than offering just a theoretical understanding of AI, Dr. Krishnan bridges mechanical engineering fundamentals and cognitive automation, highlighting how the two worlds are now converging.
What the Book Offers
From Bolts to Bots is not merely a technical guide; it is a story of evolution and adaptation. It covers:
Fundamentals of AI, robotics and machine learning
Real-world insights in predictive maintenance and industrial automation
Ethical considerations and AI accountability
The intersection of technology, business, and decision-making
Challenges of AI in law and industry governance
The shift from human-driven industries to algorithm-driven intelligence
The narrative emphasizes that while machines today can think, learn, and adapt, the role of human judgment, ethics, intuition, and purpose remains irreplaceable. In an era where efficiency is outsourced to algorithms, the book serves as a reminder that technology must stay rooted in humanity.
