Irony Man, The Sassy Robot

Fans of Douglas Adams must be familiar with Marvin the Paranoid Android, disappointed if the little robot is proud of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. However, instead of a weird Android, how about a Sassi? A robot that rolls its eyes from time to time and spreads asymmetrical comments Well. With a sense of irony, scientists at the University of Osborne have created it just after programming one of their latest robots. The aptly named Iron Man is designed to be less formal and more relevant than ordinary AI. Unlike most talking machines, which speak in a flat monotonous voice, Iron Man is able to reflect the real patterns of human speech. So if someone says that “traffic is depressing,” Iron Man will retaliate by saying “I like to get stuck here” with a sarcastic emphasis on the word “love”. But why would anyone want to make a smart-looking robot? The creators of Arnie Mann thought that if he was programmed to talk like a real person, it would be easier to be with him. And I think they were right. The students who took part in an experiment with Iron Man thought he was more favorable than a standard machine. However, there are still concerns about his lack of strategy. Iron Man can use sarcasm but is unable to judge if it is appropriate, so sometimes he becomes a bit weak.

 

Skybot F-850, Russia’s Robot Astronaut

The Skybot F-5050 is an Android astronaut, a fully automated machine designed by the Russian space agency to live on the International Space Station (ISS). Specially programmed to prevent unintentional space centers from being damaged. In the summer of 2016, the mechanical astronaut spent two weeks working on the ISS "Social Crew" human crew. During his time in orbit, Skybot was able to communicate with his fellow astronauts, answer their questions and entertain them with odd jokes. 

Alexander Blochenko, executive director of the Russian space agency, told reporters:-

 "Future generations of such robots will solve tasks that are potentially of special risk for humans, such as extravehicular activities and telemetry operations on solar system bodies".

 

Lovot, The Cuddly Robot

In our modern age, when everyone seems to be moving at a speed of one mile per second, loneliness can be a big problem. For those struggling with companionship, Japanese startup Groove X has been designed a little furry robot - Lovot, that comforts people in need of a friend. For those who need a good hug, its playful “skin” is designed to be warm and easily bound, and the robot is always happy for somewhat intimate personal contact. Over time, Lovot's emotional bond grows stronger as it learns its owner's face and when they return home to meet them human but trying to heal and heal with artificial friendship instead of human connection Interesting question. However, whatever your opinion, Lovot has been selling in Japan for over a year now. And developers say that with future investment, it could soon begin its journey in the United States as well.

 

Robot Translator For Fish And Bees

In the year 2019, scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne brought a machine into the light to everyone that enables fish and bees to speak to each other. Researchers have created a robot translator that can send messages between a group of zebrafish and a swarm of bees. Scientists from different countries decided to run their experiments to really challenge them. The fish were in one place in Switzerland. The bees were a few miles away in neighboring Austria The robot translator issued orders to each species translating its responses into signals for the other group. So the fish can show any color or tail movement that affects the direction of their swimming. This would then translate into vibration or a change in temperature, which caused the bees to move to a different place. The speed of the bee was then translated into the signal of the fish and so on. The experiment was a perfect nightmare, but after 25 minutes of confusion, the animals began to respond to their robotic stimuli. Or warns bees about pesticides on trees.

 

Lego Robot With Worm’s Brain

Imagine mapping the entire human brain with all the pulses and electrical signals and uploading them to the machine. Theoretically, you can become immortal, living forever as a digital being. If it sounds like a policy lame, you'd be happy to hear that scientists are far from achieving anything sophisticated. However they were able to remove a similar feat using a tiny worm and some Lego 2014 In 2014, neuro-robotic researchers mapped the brain of small herpes, all 302 neurons, and converted it into a digital simulation. The simulation of a complete brain is remarkable in itself, but scientists decided to feed their virtual brains to Lego robots. The Lego bot was highly sophisticated; It acted as a sound sensor for a nose and the motor cortex of two motors. However, with a little tweet enabling the virtual worm's brain to control the robot, it moves around a test station and prevents it from hitting the walls. Build life forms.

 

China’s Robot Traffic Police

In 2019, China began using robots to control its roads. The Handan Public Security Bureau now employs three styles of robots that help keep its existing officers disciplined. The three robots are similar in design, but each of them works very differently. O's designers have even given it a uniform and a hat to make it look like a human officer. Another, an accident warning robot, told nearby drivers that police were dealing with an incident. The third type is the advisory traffic robot, which assists drivers directly at vehicle handling stations, also keeping an eye out for safety risks. In 2016, authorities began using a security robot at Shenzhen Airport, and in 2017 an e-patrol sheriff was launched in Henan.

 

Julia, The Robot Who Taught Herself To Cook

Cooking is a difficult task. Taking training as a professional chef takes a huge dedication to study and learning crafts in the kitchen school for a few years. But what if there was an easier way? What if you could teach a robot to cook without spending years and years of training and it could make a meal for you? Researchers at the University of Maryland is working on just that. Unlike most machines, their robot - known as Julia - does not require step-by-step instructions. Instead, she watched videos on YouTube and learned to cook by copying what she saw. Now Julia Michelin is no longer close to the star level. His culinary skills are limited to a few basic activities. But it is also an achievement. Things that may seem easy to you or me, such as a glass of water, are actually quite challenging for a robot.

 

Robot Fish, By Synthetic Blood

Looks like Chitsi is out of sci-fi horror movies: robotic fish that run on blood power. But in reality, a mechanical fish is no villain. In reality, it could be the future of energy-efficient robotics. One of the main limitations of robotic design is stationary storage. Most devices either run out of power very quickly or turn on heavy batteries which slows them down. In contrast, robotic fish run on hydraulic fluid - which is the equivalent of real fish blood - and gain enough strength to swim upstream for 3stream hours. Speed, however, is not the robot's strong position. It flows at a length of one and a half feet per minute less, however, the robotic fish is a notable masterpiece of engineering. Professor Rob Shepherd, one of the leading developers at Cornell University, told reporters: 

“We want to take as many components as we can into a robot and convert them into energy systems. If your robot already has hydroelectric fluids, you can tap into large power stores and give the robots extra freedom to operate autonomously”.

 

Healthcare Robots Fighting Coronavirus

In the Rwandan capital, Kigali, robots are leading the fight against coronaviruses. The use of mechanical practitioners in the treatment centers of Getenga and Kanainiya means that workers spend less time around Kovid positive patients and therefore they themselves are less likely to be infected with the disease. The massive breakout of the coronavirus has forced health workers everywhere to think outside the box The way to deal with the epidemic is designed by Zorbots, able to monitor the vital signs of five robot patients, provide video messages, and correct people for not wearing their masks properly. One of the Androids currently stands at Kigali International Airport screening 150 people a minute.

 

The Shape-Shifting Submarine - Aquanaut

Transformers was one of the most popular franchises of the 1980s and one of the most terrifying film series of the 2000s. Transformers, for those who are not aware, are autonomous robots that can transform themselves into motor vehicles. These reshaping wonders contained children’s imaginations for decades, but they always seemed like an extraordinary work of fiction, something that could never be created in reality. So far, scientists at Houston Mechatronics Inc. have created a real-life transformer - a semi-human robot that can transform itself into a submarine. They named it Accountant. The makers wanted to create a machine that combined the accuracy of long-range bots with the freedom of long-distance underwater vehicles. With a budget of almost 23 million, Aquant is primarily designed for use in deep-sea oil and gas pipelines. The robot began to emerge in a series of "submarine modes", diving endlessly through the water until the target was reached. After that, its transformation begins. The top of the hall rises to the top and a head and two long arms are lifted for work on the pipeline. In addition to its metaphorical skills, Aquanaut carries a variety of sophisticated equipment. It has a 3D sensor, stereo camera, and a gold system on its head.
