Smarter Robots

Right Now, I really wish for a small robot to hand over my cellphone placed at a little distance from me or plug the laptop`s charger (it`s gonna hibernateeeeeeee … 7% *dies* ) ... laziness kills us sometimes don’t you think ?  … That, perhaps is our story still we can go and get it or grab it using something long :P ? … When we hear the word “ROBOTS” all we think of is that I should have one to help me do my assignment or help me grab things. Has anyone of you thought about how we can make use of them in doing things that are impossible without them?

Meet IXI-play -> An Adorable Robot Buddy

NOO!! It`s not just a toy one plays with, it is an adorable robot buddy … probably a child`s first friend, made to support childhood development. Well, behind his big sweet eyes, ixi-play is an advanced robot equipped with face detection, color, and voice recognition and he was designed to actively engage with your child. It can see, hear, move, dance and express wonderfully life-like emotion. Children are drawn to ixi-play and the strategic educational content built into his game repertoire supports their development.

 

Nano-Robot -> Fight Against Cancer

This is definitely a cause. They are tiny robots that are capable of recognizing good and bad cells to threat specifically the wrong cells. This DNA nano robot carries the drug into the body to specific cells where it is required. This idea led to the hope of curing cancer. The previous methodology caused toxic substances in the body that also disabled many other processes and led to many different side-effects such as hair loss, nausea. By recognizing "bad" cells and the ability to drop medicines in the right place, damage to healthy tissue can be prevented.

Agile Robot -> A Humanoid Robot

“Hi” <- meet my friend Atlas, a humanoid robot created by Boston Dynamics, a company that Google acquired in December 2013. It can walk across rough terrain and even run on flat ground. Useful in biomechanical engineering. Although robots such as Honda’s ASIMO and Sony’s QRIO are able to walk, they cannot quickly adjust their balance. Atlas, which has an exceptional sense of balance and can stabilize itself with ease, demonstrates the abilities that robots will need to move around human environments safely and easily
