Who knew, Robotics is going to be part of human needs from floor cleaning robot to humanoid robot. When we saw #terminator in our childhood, we thought this is joke. This can't be a future. A humanoid robot will come and destroy everything and human will be there slave. But, when AI came in picture, these assumptions has started taking shape into that direction. Learning is easy for them using AI. They can do any task in seconds. There hand movements, face expressions and actions are similar to humans now. We are doing R & D day by day and improving them. They can run, walk, talk and interact.
- Snake Robot: It is developed by
美国卡内基梅隆大学
It is biomorphic?hyper-redundant?robot?that resembles a biological?snake. It can vary in design and size. First, their small cross-section-to-length ratios allow them to move into and maneuver through tight spaces. Second, their ability to change the shape of their bodies allows them to perform a wide range of behaviours, such as climbing stairs or tree trunks. Additionally, many snake robots are constructed by chaining together several independent links.
- Dog Robot: Many companies has launched dog robot who behaves like dog. It has also four legs. They can be a good companion. They can run, walk and sense human behaviour similar to actual Dogs. It has been launched for military use (Canid, Chitah, BigDog and Titan etc.), consumer use (AIBO, Space Dog, Mi Cyber dog and iDog etc.) music and art etc.
- Industrial Robot: Companies are using industrial robot in very large scale now a day. It has increased productivity, scalability and reliability. We basically use arm of robot in industry. We set the task for them and they finish the task according to our command. Industrial robots are automated, programmable and capable of movement on three or more axes. It can finish the task for painting, welding, assembling, disassembly, product inspection and testing etc.
- Automated Guided Vehicle: It is used for industrial applications to transport heavy materials around a large industrial building in factory or warehouse. It follows lines, radio waves, vision cameras, Geo-guidance and magnet etc. for navigation. AGVs have to make decision on path selections. This is done through different methods:?frequency?select mode (wired navigation only), and path select mode (wireless navigation only) or via a magnetic tape on the floor not only to guide the AGV but also to issue steering commands and speed commands.
- Humanoid Robot: It looks like humans shape. It has head, two legs and two hands. It can have human face expression using eyes and lips as well. It can be use for military purpose, medical purpose and entertainment purpose etc. It can have many sensors which can observe human behaviour and actions and it will act accordingly. Humanoid robots can balance themselves and can walk and run easily. It can plan their path using AI. Their will be no need for direction. Humanoid robots will be slave of humans but if their intelligence will increase, it can be reverse.
As we seeing, many companies are coming with cycle, car, medical based robotics ARM. These things are giving clear indication to us, our future is going to be full of non living things and we will be dependent upon them. There will be few living things who will be interacting to each other. Mostly, interaction will be in between living and non living things.
