The use of robots in the modern world. Development of modern robotics

At the beginning of the twentieth century, when Asimov formulated his famous laws of robotics, it seemed that the creation of a fully functional humanoid robot was just around the corner. But the more time passes since then, the more it becomes clear that this is not a matter of ten, not twenty, or maybe even hundreds of years, but a much longer period. But, nevertheless, all kinds of robots are appearing now. Each of them is another step towards a common goal.

1. Okonomiyaki Robot
This robot masterfully prepares okonomiyaki, a fried flatbread made from a mixture of various ingredients. Designed to work independently and alongside people, the 135cm, 220kg industrial robot has 15 joints - 7 in each arm and one in the torso. Of course, if you program it, it can do more than just make tortillas. At the exhibition where this robot was presented, he was able to assemble a disposable camera consisting of twelve parts.

2. Robot football players
Of course, robots will not soon replace live football players. But work in this field is actively underway. Every year the international robot football championship, RoboCup, is held. In this championship, development teams from all over the world compete with each other. Yes, these robots are small, clumsy, clumsy. But from year to year they become more and more advanced. And, who knows, maybe in our lifetime the first robot football player will be announced for some professional football club.

3. Robot with emotions
The KOBIAN robot cannot cook tortillas, assemble cameras or play football. But he is closer to man than his aforementioned “brothers”. After all, he has seven emotions, which he expresses through facial expressions and body. These are surprise, admiration, sadness, antipathy, shame, fear and joy.

4. Robot model
As we already know, the players have nothing to worry about yet. Robots will not soon displace them from their profession. But it’s time for models to move away from the catwalk. After all, the first robot model was created. This robot looks like a twenty-year-old Japanese woman with a height of 155 centimeters. She knows how to imitate the gait and poses of professional fashion models. This is achieved through 30 motors responsible for body movements and another 8 responsible for facial expressions.

5. Albert Einstein
The robot must be not only beautiful, but also smart. Apparently, this is exactly what the American David Henson thought when he created a robot with the face of Albert Einstein. Of course, this robot will not be able to re-create the Theory of Relativity, but it can reproduce the facial expressions of the great scientist. He can laugh, frown, wink, depending on the reaction of others. He can recognize more than a dozen facial movements and reciprocate them.

6. The smallest humanoid robot
A robot was created in Taiwan that is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's smallest humanoid robot. With a height of 15.3 centimeters and a weight of 250 grams, he can walk, dance and do push-ups. He even knows a few moves from the martial art of tai chi.

7.
At the COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2009 exhibition, the TGR-W1 robot was presented, designed to be a person’s closest assistant - a nanny, teacher, tour guide, and caregiver. It is specifically tuned to communicate with people through sound, gestures and images. The TGR-W1 also has a built-in infrared and ultrasonic system, allowing it to detect and avoid obstacles both indoors and outdoors.

The importance of robots continues to grow in a variety of areas of human activity: robotic systems are used by the military and law enforcement agencies, used for medical research, space exploration and even entertainment. Robots recently in the news include the old Soviet Lunokhod recently photographed from lunar orbit, NASA's Mars rover, and a dental robot designed to teach students.

Pierpaolo Petruzziello's amputated arm is connected by electrodes to a robotic arm during an experiment called "Hand of Life" at the bio-medical campus of the University of Rome. The experiment was conducted to allow a person to control their prosthetics mentally. In December 2009, a group of European scientists announced that they had successfully connected a robotic arm to the arm of a man - Petruzziello, who lost his arm in a car accident. This allowed him to control the prosthesis with his mind and feel various impulses in the artificial hand. The experiment lasted a month. Scientists say this was the first time an amputee could make complex movements by using his thoughts to control a biomechanical arm attached to his nervous system.
The robot arm for NASA's new Mars rover is bent nearly 90 degrees. A robotic arm is being tested at the Jet Engine Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The Mars rover is called Curiosity (from English “curiosity”) and is scheduled to be launched in October 2011. An arm with special instruments will move to collect samples of Martian rocks and soil. This arm is identical to the one that will be installed on the Curiosity rover.

Robots. These are still exotic, but nevertheless, they are increasingly entering our lives with more confidence. Isaac Izimov's three laws of robotics will soon cease to be just entertainment literature. Robots are creatures that simultaneously fascinate and frighten with their humanity and at the same time machineness. The production of robots is constantly evolving. Take a look at the ten most interesting specimens to date.

ASIMO: Humanoid Robot

ASIMO is a humanoid robot created by Honda. Standing 130 centimeters tall and weighing 54 kilograms, the robot looks like a small astronaut carrying a backpack. He can walk on two legs, copying a human gait at a speed of 6 km/h. ASIMO was created in Japan at Honda's Research and Development Center. This is the last model in the series, and there are eleven in total; the first robot was created in 1986.
Officially, the robot's name is an abbreviation for "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility", that is, literally "Advanced Step in Advanced Mobility." In 2002, there were 20 ASIMO robots. Each costs a million dollars to produce, and some copies can be rented for $150,000 a month.

Moving object recognition
Using visual information collected by a video camera mounted in the robot's head, ASIMO recognizes the movements of many objects, and also estimates the distance from them and their direction. With the help of a complex of these technologies, the robot can monitor people's movements with a camera, follow a person or greet him when he approaches.

Pose and gesture recognition
ASIMO can interpret hand positions and movements, recognize postures and gestures. Thanks to this, the robot can respond not only to voice commands, but also to natural body movements of people. Thus, for example, he understands when he is offered a handshake or when a person waves to him, and reciprocates. In addition, he understands when the direction of movement is indicated to him.

Environment recognition
ASIMO is able to analyze the surrounding objects and landscape and act in a way that is safe for him and the people nearby. For example, it recognizes potentially dangerous objects, such as stairs, and stops or avoids people and other moving objects to avoid colliding with them.

Sound recognition
The robot's ability to recognize the type of sounds has deepened, and now it knows the difference between voices and other sounds. He responds to his name, turns to face the person he is talking to, reacts to sudden unusual sounds such as a fallen object or collision, and turns his head in that direction.

Face recognition
ASIMO can recognize human faces even when the person is moving. It can separately distinguish 10 human faces. Once they are registered in his memory, he will refer to them by name.

Albert Hubo: Robot Einstein

Robot Albert HUBO is an android robot. Its appearance consists of a head that copies the head of scientist Albert Einstein, and the torso of the rather famous humanoid robot Hubo. The development period lasted three months and ended in November 2005. The head was designed by Hanson-Robotics. The body is made of a specific material, Frubber, which is often used in Hollywood.

The head has 35 joints, thanks to which it can express various emotions on the face, using independent movements of the eyes and lips. There are also two CCD cameras in the head for visual recognition. In addition, Albert can do all the performances inherent in Hubo, so it is possible to express even more natural human movements and behavior. Polymer lithium batteries are hidden in the body, which provide about two and a half hours of battery life for the robot.

Using a remote network, Albert the robot can be controlled from an external computer. Albert Humo was first introduced in 2005 at the APEC summit in Busan (Korea). He was praised by many world leaders: the US President, the Prime Minister of Japan, etc.

Stanley: self-driving vehicle

Stanley is an autonomous vehicle created by the racing team at Stanford University. This is an ordinary Volkswagen Touareg, modified to allow control only by on-board computers. He competed and won the DARPA Grand Challenge in 2005 and earned the Stanford racing team a $2 million prize, the largest cash prize in robot history.

The sensors used in Stanley include five laser lidars, a pair of radars, a stereo camera and a single-lens camera. The GPS receiver, GPS compass, and inertial control system process the information and determine the position of the vehicle, and information about the odometry of the wheels is received by the internal CAN bus of the Tuareg. The computer part consists of six powerful Intel Pentium M computers with different configurations and Linux operating systems.

Stanley is equipped with a system for detecting approaching obstacles. Data from the lidars is combined with images from the visual system to create a more complete picture of the view. If an acceptable road cannot be recognized for at least the next 40 meters, the speed is reduced, and the lidars look for a safe path.

By the way, Stanley's driving was programmed by using recordings of human driving in the desert, and then assigning a precise value to every bit of information generated by his sensor system. After this modification, the robot car began to roll at a speed of 45 miles per hour along roads crossed by tree shadows. Until the exact values ​​for the data were set, the car scaredly turned off the road, confident that the path was crossed not by shadows, but by holes.

BigDog: Robot Mule

BogDog (BigDog, literally - Big Dog) is a four-legged robot created by Boston Dynamics in 2005. Project BigDog was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in the hope that the creation could serve as a robotic mule for soldiers in terrain too rough for transport.
BigDog weighs 75 kilograms, is a meter long and 0.7 meters high. Currently, it can travel over difficult terrain at a speed of 5.3 km/h, carry a weight of 54 kilograms and climb slopes of 35 degrees.

RiSE: climbing robot

Rise (RiSE) is a small six-legged robot that climbs vertical surfaces: walls, trees, fences. Ryze's heels have claws, microclaws, or sticky material, depending on the surface on which he must climb. The robot changes poses to adapt to the slope of the surface, and the fixed tail helps balance on steep surfaces. The baby weighs only 2 kilograms, is 0.25 meters long, and runs at a speed of 0.3 m/s.

Each of the robot's six legs is equipped with two electric motors. The on-board computer controls the paws, determines the method of communication with the ground and discusses a variety of sensors. Including a sensor that calculates inertia, a joint position sensor for each paw, a paw tension sensor and a foot contact sensor.

Future versions of Ryze will use dry adhesion to climb perfectly smooth, sheer surfaces such as glass and metal. Rise was developed jointly by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley, Stanford, and Lewis and Clark University. The project was sponsored by DARPA's Office of Science Advocacy.

QRIO: dancing robot

QRIO ("Quest for cuRIOsity") is a bipedal humanoid robot for entertainment, created and sold by Sony to continue the success of their AIBO (robot dog) toy. QRIO is 0.6 meters tall and weighs 7.3 kilograms.

The robot can recognize voices and faces, thanks to which it can remember people and their likes and dislikes. He can run at a speed of 23 cm per second, which is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records (2005) as the first, fastest, two-legged robot that runs. The fourth generation QRIO robot runs on battery power for an hour.

The fourth generation of these robots can dance to Hell Yes, a music video by Beck. These specimens are augmented with a third chamber on the forehead and have enhanced arms and wrists. Programmers worked for three weeks to teach these robots choreography.

Who are robots? Today even a child can answer this question, although not so long ago they were only heroes of science fiction novels telling about distant space travel or encounters with extraterrestrial civilizations. And these creatures were presented exclusively as mechanical people.

Expanding the “living space” of robots

A robot in the modern world is not a fairy-tale creature at all. He increasingly intervenes in a person’s life, capturing new areas of activity and helping in life. Currently, robotics is put at the service of humans in a number of industries, including:

• space and aircraft construction;
• precision instrumentation;
• military-industrial complex;
• medicine;
• provision of security systems;
• Automotive industry
• and other areas of industrial production.

The entertainment industry actively uses robots. Children have long been familiar with robotic toys and transformers that change their configuration and turn the game into an exciting activity. In children's play areas today, robots are often used as hospitable hosts, arousing the interest and delight of children. As a rule, these are radio-controlled flying, running, moving, talking or singing toys.

The use of robots in modern world facilitates human work and expands the horizons of their further use. Although plans for their creation are not new. Researchers found a drawing of a nova in Leonardo da Vinci's documents. Researchers found in Leonardo da Vinci's documents a drawing of a mechanism that, according to the author's descriptions, was supposed to replace a person in heavy work.

Modern civilization has given impetus to the development of new technologies, among which robotics is not the least important.

What do robots do?

Engineering thought aimed at improving technological processes is increasingly introducing robotics into areas of life where precision, accuracy are required or, conversely, in conditions of survival or production organization that are difficult for humans to reach. The functions of robots in the modern world have expanded significantly.

1. In medicine, they are used to study the condition of the body and perform operations in eye clinics, in cases where extreme care and caution are required so as not to harm internal organs. The use of robotics elements in the manufacture of prosthetic limbs has expanded.
2. Since the creation of the space industry, robots have become reliable assistants and allies of people. The exploration of outer space also could not have happened without their participation. Self-propelled modules sent to the Moon and Mars delivered valuable information that expands our understanding of our space neighbors.
3. Robots equipped with security and tracking functions have proven themselves to be effective. They are indispensable in surveillance systems; they are the first to detect fires, preventing emergencies; they are taught to distinguish the smell of smoke and transmit the received information to the fire department control panel.
4. Observer robots are actively used to explore the depths of the sea and monitor marine life. Robotics helps study the life and habits of wild animals and track their migration routes.
5. Equipping enterprises with industrial robots allows you to free up labor and improve the quality of products, while increasing labor productivity.
6. The world's most powerful armies have also deployed robots. These latest devices allow you to adjust the flight trajectory of missiles and are used to detect enemy equipment and destroy it.

The possibilities for using robots in everyday life are expanding. There are already known robot nannies invented in Japan that can not only monitor a child and protect from injury, but also entertain by reading fairy tales, singing children's songs, and becoming a participant in children's games.

The use of robot maids is no less actively promoted. They are endowed with many functions:

• clean with a vacuum cleaner;
• without human intervention they can mow the grass on the lawn;
• wash and iron clothes;
• will ensure the inviolability of the home.

At the same time, constant work is underway to expand the functions of housewife robots. They are taught to cook, serve and clear the table. At the same time, they can answer questions from people in the house.

What the new generation of robotics can do

The areas of application of robots are expanding every day. New areas of their use are emerging, and their appearance is changing. Today, the most advanced robots in the world are produced in Japan, where robotics has been widely developed. It is this country that owes its appearance to robots that facilitate work in various areas of everyday life and industrial production, social and cultural spheres.

1. Japanese engineers have created a robotic fish whose functions include monitoring the number and movement of schools of commercial fish. Its silicone surface and color completely replicate the “appearance” of the abodes of the deep sea and make it invisible among the inhabitants of the seas.
2. There, in Japan, robots—“nurses”—are being introduced to work in medical institutions. They are devices that move silently and instantly respond to voice, and can also recognize the patient's face. Their use makes the work of health workers easier and helps improve health care. In the future, they will be able to transfer patients from place to place. Outwardly, these are pleasant, cute mechanical creatures, very similar to humans, tireless, calm, neat. They say that adults are the same as children, only bigger. That is why they create robots that look like toys, the functions of which often cause a smile and, at the same time, admiration.
3. There, in Japan, specialists developed a robotic photo model. This is a mechanical pretty girl, gracefully moving along the catwalk. She takes various poses and knows how to express emotions. Model HRP-4C is 158 cm tall and weighs 43 kg.
4. The American D. Hanson continues to work on the development of mechanical people who can express emotions like people. He is responsible for creating a head with a face similar in appearance to Albert Einstein. He “taught” the head to smile, frown, wink and laugh exactly as the scientist himself did. Camera eyes react to the emotional state of others and “respond” with an appropriate reaction.
5. An entire orchestra of robotic musicians has already been developed. They know how to play musical instruments: flute, electric organ, drum, and at the same time they are able to “listen” to the melody and adjust their actions, adapting to the sounding melody.
6. Residents and guests of Switzerland are familiar with the unusual street artist Salvador Dabu with a mustache and a beret on his head. This is a robot that takes a photo and then, using a special algorithm, paints a portrait. At the same time, he is quite talkative.
7. Demonstrative chess battles taking place between grandmasters and the electronic brain have long been known. But today, Russian scientists have developed a mechanical man who can play this wise game, sitting with the master at the same table and moving the pieces with a three-fingered hand.
8. For future parents, Japanese robot builders have prepared a robot simulator that looks like a small child and creates the same problems for mom and dad as a real baby. He requires careful care and gentle treatment, and if his parents do not pay him enough attention, he begins to cry inconsolably, and it is not so easy to calm him down.
9. The smallest human-like robot is also assembled there. The height of this baby is only 15 cm, and the mechanism thanks to which he walks, dances, does push-ups and even demonstrates some tai chi wrestling techniques does not exceed one centimeter. They control it by voice or remote control.

In certain situations, robots can also be used as salespeople. The remote presence robot from the Russian company Ucan copes well with this function. In this case, the person does not have to be nearby: he can watch the picture of what is happening on the monitor and control the actions of the mechanical seller. These devices were among the first to appear on the robotics market and are constantly being improved and expanded their functions.

And its latest developments in this direction make it possible to take customer service to a new level and give this activity dynamism and higher quality.

It’s hard to say what’s more – rationalism or cheerful hooliganism in the invention of a robot, which, according to its creators, should destroy hordes of cockroaches in kitchens. Scientists from France, Belgium and Switzerland worked on this robotic cockroach. Their creation looks and smells like a cockroach, and moves on small wheels. The “fathers-inventors” equipped their brainchild with cameras and infrared sensors. They attract insects to the light, with the help of which they are “led away” from the house.

Guide robots and shepherds are being developed and tested.

What are the most amazing robots today? And what can they do without human help? This is what we will tell our readers today.

1. Robot rover Curiosity

Many people know about this “baby”. The robot rover Curiosity is NASA's most expensive development to date. It cost more than $2 billion and took about ten years to create the smart machine. Curiosity's specialty is collecting soil samples and various rocks from Mars and conducting experiments right on the spot, sending the research results to scientists on Earth. In addition, the robot can take high-resolution photographs.

2. Geminoid DK

Hiroshi Ishiguro and his team from Japan’s Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International have created a unique robot that cannot be distinguished from a human. The prototype of the appearance was Professor Henrik Scharfe. The Geminoid DK robot is controlled remotely using special motion copying technology. From the first time it is difficult to even determine that it is not a person in front of you.

The robotic arm is capable of drawing unique portraits based on facial scans. After this, Paul begins to draw. The robot is a mechanical arm into which a pencil or pen is inserted. The uniqueness of the creation is that even if you sit the same person in front of Paul twice, the portraits will turn out completely different. The robot manages to accurately convey the facial expression and emotions of the person sitting in front of it.

4. WildCat

The creation of Boston Dynamics is a robot that is designed to serve as a scout. In our opinion, the robot is too big for a scout and is too noticeable. Among the advantages of WildCat, it is worth noting its ability to move over rough terrain, accelerate to 26 kilometers per hour and run. If necessary, the robot stops and turns around. The design of the robot is very stable, you will have to try to make it fall.

5. S-One

Created by the Japanese company Schaft, this robot can work in dangerous and hard-to-reach places. S-One is a bit like a person, only smaller in size. He is stable and strong, can lift heavy objects, open windows and doors, and use a drill. Schaft employees excelled in the field of robotics, so the S-One was a great success. The functionality and scope of possible work of the robot open up many opportunities for people.

6. Row-bot

Today, Row-bot is not a robot, but only a prototype. However, the idea deserves public attention. The vocation of the future robot is to clean the bottom of reservoirs and destroy dangerous microbes. But the most interesting thing is that these same microbes become a source of energy for Row-bot. It's such an endless process.

7.Atlas

A new generation robot with a beautiful name was created by Boston Dynamisc employees. Atlas was created in the likeness of a person, and its functionality is amazing. This robot is capable of moving through forests with the most difficult terrain. He does not fall and maintains balance where a person would have fallen and given up long ago. Even if Atlas ends up in a winter forest, it will keep going.
