The US Marine Corps tested a four-legged robotic dog to explore its use for combat.
Robotics is constantly evolving. The US Marine Corps tested a four-legged robotic dog to explore its use for combat. The prototype, named Spot, was made by Google X’s Boston Dynamics.
“Nerekhta” is a UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) that has a tank tread for navigation of challenging situations.
Several military groups have been using drones for years now. While on the other hand, the Russian military is currently testing “Nerekhta”. It is a UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) that has a tank tread for navigation of challenging situations. Moreover, the UGV has machine guns, grenade launcher, and antitank guided missiles. And finally, the main idea is to create a self-driving vehicle that has artificial intelligence.
Stuart Russell said killer robots already exist and they should stop.
Stuart Russell said killer robots already exist and they should stop. Accordingly, they plead their case to the United Nations and request for a global ban for these killer robots.
The Japanese government is spending one-third of its budget on the growth of Care-Robots to help the elderly.
Currently, 25% of Japan’s population is over 65 years of age, and by the year 2065, it is anticipated to rise to 40%. As a result, the nursing-care robot market has rapidly increased. Thus, the government is spending one-third of its budget on the growth of care-robots to help the Japanese elderly.
Robear is a “strong robot with a gentle touch”.
Robear, a nursing robot developed by a Japanese company, is a “strong robot with a gentle touch”. Above all, the Robear uses advanced technology to power its intelligent vision, flexible movement, and giant arms strong enough to lift a human right off the ground.
The Blendo Robot became popular in the era of Robot Wars in the late 90s.
Jamie Hyneman, the co-host of the TV series Myth Busters, built the Blendo Robot. Blendo is a full-body spinner weapon that became common in Robot Wars. In particular, Robot Wars is a TV show where robot-inventors showcase their robots for combat and battle.
A robot can protect the environment.
The battery detector robot is created to detect used batteries to protect the environment from hazards. With this purpose in mind, the robot ensures that all battery components can be recycled. Besides, the system uses a standard ABB robotic arm with special sensing and grasping gear.
A robotic vehicle dived into Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica to view the unexplored depths of Antarctica.
For this purpose, the robot was formed by a group of engineers and scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Moreover, the robot dove through a 12-inch diameter hole in the ice and down 500 meters into the seafloor. Finally, the robot reveals why the Ross Ice Shelf melts rapidly in summer. Consequently, the team found that the main source of ocean heat causing the ice shelf to melt was sunlight warming the upper ocean after the region’s sea ice disappeared in the summertime.
Andrea Lockerd Thomaz created robots with big eyes and white faces who can talk, listen, learn, and react.
Andrea Lockerd Thomaz created Simon and Curie—robots with big eyes and white faces who can talk, listen, learn, and react. Also, Andrea Thomaz concentrates on robot-human interaction. While on the other hand, she is working towards the artificial intelligence of robots to relate in human terms such as gestures and speech.
The SIAR Project is a sewage inspection robot.
The SIAR is a sewage inspection robot. It is a prototype autonomous ground robot that navigates and inspect sewage systems. Inspecting sewers can be a dangerous job, or sewers are awkward places to work for humans, the SIAR project is a perfect substitute.
Robot farmers will soon help the agriculture industry.
Robot farmers are programmed to plant seeds, weed, water, and spray without a farmer needing to go into the field. Most noteworthy, researchers are developing these robot farmers to harvest crops as well. Experts predict that those robots will work in the near future.
A Nano-robot is a microscopic robot that is 50–100 nm wide.
A Nano-robot is a microscopic robot that is 50–100 nm wide. They can be used efficiently for drug delivery in the human bloodstream along with delicate surgical procedures that can support standard surgery.
The “Rise of the Robots” as its own species.
Robots can emerge as their own species by the year 2040. According to the founder of Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute, robots can soon replace the human for manual work and tasks. Therefore, there can be a new era of “Rise of the Robots” sooner or later.
The year 1980 was the “eye-opener” for the robot industry.
The car industry was the first market for robots in their early stages of development. For that reason, 70% of robot demands were for use in car factories, and robots handled tasks such as spot welding, painting, and dispensing. Hence, 1980 was the “eye-opener” year for the robot industry.
