How robots help people in different areas of life

In a world undergoing the fourth industrial revolution, much becomes automatic. There are robots that work in factories and simplify normal human life.

Industrial robots

The latest generation robots are agile and efficient. They pack goods, stick labels, sort goods in stock. Some can handle wood and metal products.

KUKA KR QUANTEC PA

Exemplary stacker, similar to a large mechanical arm. It works at low temperatures and is therefore in demand in the food industry, where you need to store cargo in the freezer.

The machine does not need heating or protection from the cold. This ensures minimal equipment wear. Kuka is also involved in product packaging, picking and other handling operations..

FANUC M-2000iА

Japanese robots in this series capture and carry heavy loads. They play the role of a loader, and without the participation of the operator. FANUC – the strongest six-axis device with the largest payload in the world (up to 1.2 tons).

Work is carried out from 0 to +45 degrees, and a long mechanical arm can reach the object in the same way as a crane does.

Universal robots

This is a series of universal manipulators. The UR10 model becomes the “third hand” of a person and helps to carry out injection or welding work faster.

Other versions of Universal Robots screw up parts, prepare materials for 3D printing, and store goods.

Medical robots

Initially, they were used as auxiliary devices for complex operations, but now some models can treat patients themselves, with partial control of doctors.

Surgeon Da vinci

This is a four-arm module, each with a surgical instrument or camera. Machine weight – 500 kg. Any operation of Da Vinci eliminates the appearance of scars in the patient, thanks to jewelry accuracy. Several dozen models are already working in Russia..

Japanese pharmacist Hospi

This machine is an automated first-aid kit. She is needed to perform the simple functions of a nurse. It’s about finding and delivering drugs.

HOSPI, developed by Panasonic, remembers which patient has which prescription, picks up the goods in the warehouse and returns to the nursing post. It works without recharging up to 7 hours, moves at a speed of 1 m / s and carries up to 20 kg.

HAL – a robotic exoskeleton for the lower body or whole body

The costume is made for paralyzed people or patients with mobility problems. It helps to recover faster after injuries or serious operations. Exoskeleton sensors attach to the skin to intercept brain impulses for muscles. And drives on knees, waist, shoulders, elbows perform movements.

Military robots

They have long been in the service of security in the USA, Russia, Israel, China.

In Russia, the first such example can be considered the TT-26 remote control tanks that were used in the Finnish War.

Now military robotics still requires human control, since it is not equipped with full-fledged artificial intelligence. It does not distinguish civilians from military.

Minesweeper “Mantis-3”

The Russian development “Bogomol-3” neutralizes charges. With such a machine, a specialist detonates an explosive device at a safe distance. It works even with the bottom of the car and climb stairs up to 20 cm high.

Dogo Scout

The miniature Israeli-made car has excellent cross-country ability and can climb stairs. This is not only a tool for studying enemy territory, but also a tactical combat robot operating inside buildings, tunnels or bunkers. Dogo – equipped with a Glock-26 pistol.

Mine Engineer MarkV-A1

Innovation of the American company Northrop Grumman Corporation. The remote control combat system has several video cameras, a water cannon or a shotgun to destroy bombs. It is used in various units of the USA, Canada, Israel..

Household robots

Robots become useful for everyday life, saving time. They not only perform routine tasks, but also solve creative tasks: from automatic window washing to festive table setting.

The machine can clean the pool, bake pancakes, feed the baby with a spoon or iron the clothes.

Vacuum cleaners

An example is the LG Hom-Bot Square, a robot that cleans even along walls and in corners. No extra purchases are required: all nozzles are already included. Such an assistant works silently, carefully sucks in dust, bypasses obstacles and makes wet cleaning.

Lawn mower

An example is RoboMower, which has been produced by Friendly Robotics for almost 25 years. A find for the owners of a suburban area. You save time and don’t worry about the noise of a regular mower.

The machine itself recharges the battery, easily travels around the territory, fertilizing the soil with cut grass. It reduces waste and improves the environment..

Automated toilet for cats Litter Robot

Non-standard household robot. Automated Pet Care Products offers it to those who need to leave the animal for several days. When the pet has finished its work in the tray, the machine removes the contents into the lower pan, updating the filler. Litter Robot is safe and costs owners about $ 1,000.

Human robot

If the machine has to fulfill a social function (for example, to be a housekeeper or interlocutor), the creators try to make it a humanoid or an android, that is, a humanoid machine.

These models become exact copies of real people. They show emotions, conduct meaningful conversation, read reactions in communication..

Geminoid dk

Japanese cyborg made in 2006. This is a realistic copy of Henrik Scharf – a Danish professor of psychology, and also the first robot with a European appearance from Asian developers. Geminoid DK simulates gestures, breathing and communicates with visitors to the science center.

The developer of the cyborg, Hiroshi Ishiguro, managed to create another model – Geminoid F, which is distinguished by photogenicity and lively facial expressions.

Nadine

This is a social companion robot. The humanoid from Singapore is a copy of its creator Nadezhda Telman. The task of the android is to become the perfect carer for the elderly or autistic children.

Nadine knows how to remember the words of the interlocutor, recognize friends, adapt to human behavior. For better communication, Nadine even got a secretary at the university reception.

Bina48

BINA48 is an intelligent human robot who has already become legendary. The humanoid is a copy of Bina Aspen. It is made for experiments in the field of programming thoughts. BINA48 expresses about 60 senses and has a large vocabulary.

The living Bina Aspen taught the car her walk, facial expressions, and speech style. Android quickly captures knowledge, easily jokes and supports conversations on complex philosophical topics using real woman memories.

Russian robots

For domestic robotics is not ashamed. Many university centers create Russian robots that help scientists, soldiers or patients.

Anywalker?

It is a multi-functional assistant and educational platform for the development of the next generations. The machine was made by groups of Moscow and Kuban universities, as well as the company “Technodynamics”.

The model works on only two pillars, but it can climb stairs and open doors. Striking his ability to move in low traffic conditions.

Maribot

Autonomous robot for marine research from Samara University. It is assumed that the car can be left at the bottom for a whole year. She will conduct seismic surveys, analyze temperature, water composition, salt level.

Maribot has an underwater part and an underwater part, in which the engine is located to convert wave energy. In other words, he works himself, without the direct participation of man. An important advantage is the absence of magnetic fields, which often distort the information transmitted to land.

R.Bot

This is the first robot in Russia with online control. The car has a video camera, stereo speakers and a microphone. It rotates axially, turns its head and move around the terrain on three wheels.

The R.Bot speed is from 2 to 5 km / h, and the operating time is 8 hours. He can help with presentations, as well as be a nurse or nurse..
