Robot – are kinda intimidating inventions, as we have already seen in a bunch of Science fiction movies. But, there are 8 advanced robots helping humans you probably don’t know they exist.

We already have the most sophisticated robots around us which serving us in various industries like medical, automobile and mines where a human cannot go directly and handle the situations. But, those robots have limitations, those are not intelligent and can’t work without human supervision.

Can robots do jobs without human help?

Yes, Thanks to artificial intelligence and machine learning. There are the few most advanced robots powered by AI, helping humans to save the world. These robots are more conscious, intelligent and designed to help humans without any human intervention.

I’m here to help humanity to create the future – Sophia (an AI powered humanoid robot).

You may probably think how robots can help humans? if so, let’s find what can robots do to help humans – before getting into the topic.

So, what can robots do to help humans?

Robots can help us in security, automation, rescuing and exploring dangerous places, etc., some of the following are below:

  1. Exploring space, underwater because of no air, no gravity, high pressure, and extreme temperature conditions
  2. Fighting enemies in the national security borders
  3. Using as security forces in critical areas such as airports, railways station and other crowd places
  4. Aiding injured in road accidents and natural disasters
  5. Helping humans with a disability
  6. Performing household works
  7. Care-taking of children and senior citizens and so on.

8 Advanced Robots Helping Humans:

8. Knitescope’s K5 – Security Robot

We’ve been seeing robots guarding things in movies but, they are now a reality. A California based firm Knightscope, Inc. building a series of Autonomous Security Data Machines (ADM) for detecting and preventing crimes.

A 5-foot Autonomous Security Robot called Knightscope K5 rows around the crowd places like airports, railway stations, sports stadiums, office premises and malls searching for criminals, suspicious people and activities. The Knightscope’s robots are inspired by humans, powered by AI, character-recognition and facial-recognition algorithms. It uses sensors to navigate and prowl for intruders within the permitted area. It has sensors like:-

(1) LIDAR (light detection and ranging) – with 21 lasers that they’re spin around and capture the surroundings every 20 milliseconds.

(2) Ultrasonic sensor – just like proximity sensor in the rear bumper of a car it let the robot know when things come close.

(3) GPS – so the K5 robot is conscious about its Geo-position/location and Geo-limits, also know where to go and how and to be in its geographical limits.

(4) Wheel odometry – like our automobiles how far they traveled and measure the speed.

(5) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) – is a combination of accelerators and gyroscopes which uses to measure a particular object’s force and angular rate to determine whether its accelerating or decelerating.

(6) Cameras with facial recognition algorithms  – to identify the criminals from the crowd.

And microphones, heat detectors, and pollution monitors, etc.,

On the back-end, these security robots can scan over 300 license plates per minute, can able to blacklist individuals by blacklist their phones, faces, and vehicles. Then these so-called security robots will upload all the data to the cloud server and then the company alerts its clients.

7. da Vinci Surgical System – Robotic Surgeon

da Vinci is the most sophisticated medical robotic technology we have today, developed by Californian firm Intuitive surgical. It is designed to perform minimally invasive surgeries i.e., it enables the surgeons to operate into a patient’s body through a few small cuts. da Vinci has two separate parts – instrument unit and a console unit. The instrument unit is a tower-like a mechanism equipped with four robotic arms, that can bend and rotate far greater than the human hand.

The console unit much like a gaming station, its handy joysticks like structure and foot pedals help to translate surgeons hand movements into smaller precise movements using tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. And, its high definition 3D endoscopic camera enables the surgeon to look into patients body through its viewfinder. Despite not being a fully automated, the da Vinci is well known for its great shake-proof precision control.

The da Vinci is operating more than four thousand hospitals worldwide. According to the MIT Technology review, da Vinci has already performed over five million surgeries worldwide.

6. Moley’s Kitchen – Smart Robotic Chef

https://www.moley.com/video/moley_future_served.mp4

Robotic waiters are already serving at hotels but what about of robotic chef???

Yes! Moley has created the world’s first robotic kitchen with a pair of metal limbs.

Moley’s kitchen is elegantly designed most advanced robotic chef (cooking machine). It has a pair of fully articulated robotic arms with tactile sensors, integrated into a kitchen. Inspired by master chefs Tim Anderson – it can reproduce entire movements and functions of a human hand at the same speed and sensitivity. And capable of cooking anything that human chef can, with an exact flavor and taste.

It uses an integrated 3D camera and gesture recognition algorithms to record the precise movements of a chef. Later, the Robotic kitchen mimics the chef’s actions. Also, it supports an online library of recipes to cook delicious food.

The Moley’s kitchen features an oven, an electric stove, a dishwasher, and a touch screen console unit. Its artificial hands can able to handle most of the kitchen equipment like mixture blender, knives, etc.,

The prototype was previously demonstrated at International Robotics Show, and the consumer version of the kitchen set for launch in 2019.

5. Atlas: Milestone in Humanoid Robotics

Atlas is an advanced humanoid robot built-by American robotics company ‘Boston Dynamics’, designed to perform search and rescue operations in extreme conditions. It’s a 6-foot humanoid robot capable of walk on rough terrains and even on snow-covered areas. It is equipped with dual high-definition cameras and laser rangefinder to estimate the distances and navigate. Atlas was the first robot to perform successful back-flips when released in the year 2013.

Atlas is an absolute breakthrough in humanoid robotics as it can get up itself when it gets knocked down. The project was funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). Despite its exceptional capabilities, the Department of Defense has said that it won’t be used the robot for offensive or defensive warfare.
