Today, the kinds of robots that are designed and made available to the public are nothing short of amazing. Listed here are some of the craziest robots made and what they are capable of doing.
Tag-along suitcase bot
Any time you travel, one of the biggest hassles is pulling along or carrying your suitcases and luggage while weaving past crowds without going crazy. You wish you could have your own pet mule, but that’s nearly impossible…or is it? Gita cargo both works the seemingly impossible by being a large suitcase that can lug around your items and follow you along while you walk ahead like a boss. Now that’s a suitcase no one would mind owning!
A friend for everyone
For young kids and old adults without companions, Zenbo might be able to offer the right company Looking like a vacuum cleaner with a digital face capable of displaying emotions, this robot whizzes around taking commands, singing songs, playing games, dance and generally always be cute and at your disposal without a frown.
A cute, furry cure
You’ve probably heard that animals like dogs and cats are ideal as therapy for sick But a dog might bite accidentally or a cat might scratch, and there is that problem with them shedding fur. The solution? In Japan, patients get to pet and interact with a cute, furry robotic seal PARO. With touch-sensitive fur and whiskers, it’ll let you pet and cuddle, without expecting any care from you.
100% winner
What makes rock-paper-scissors fun is the fact that it is a totally random and unpredictable way to pass time! Enter Janken, a robot that takes the game a bit too seriously. So seriously, in fact, that it has a 100 per cent winning rate. How on earth does it do that? Equipped with a high-speed camera and hand shape recognition, it can apparently guess what shape you’re going to make so quickly that you’ll never know. Cheater!
ATLAS to the rescue
ATLAS is among the many humanoid robots in the make that is capable of performing different tasks. Unlike many robots that can move well only on smooth floors, ATLAS can power its 6-foot frame through forest paths or even snow. That’s not all – it can open doors, climb ladders, use tools, turn on or turn off valves and probably other tasks. In the future, be prepared to not be shocked by seeing one or ATLAS humanoids rushing past you to tackle emergencies.
What a help!
Finally, a robot we’d rush to buy if only they became available to the public! FoldiMate Inc. is designed to tackle the most annoying among all household chores and the one that Mom assigns to you most often folding clothes. Think of merely feeding one piece of cloth after another on top of FoldiMate and the good robot dutifully deposits them into a bin, ready for you to use!
A robotic smartphone
One day, our boring old rectangular smartphones will be replaced by miniature robot-shaped phones that will do much more. RoBoHoN is one such robot in the making. How can it be better than your faithful smartphone that you own? For instance, you probably go hunting for your smartphone if you keep it somewhere, but ROBOHON is capable of moving in search of you. How awesome is that?
