Robots cook food, fold clothes and dance:Day not far human-like robots will do household chores
The day is not far when humanoid robots that look like humans will work in homes and factories. At the World Robot Conference being held in Beijing, China, more than 300 companies have showcased over 2,000 robots. At the event running until August 23, robot chefs are preparing food and drinks, dancing and boxing robots, and industrial machines have become the center point of the entire event. Not only this, these robots are also ready for rescue operations. This means this year’s main focus has not been just on display robots, but on robots with ‘practical and commercial’ uses. So let’s learn about some of the most unique and advanced robots shown at the conference… Automatic Variable Robotics: Home Working Robot This is an exactly human-sized robot. Its main task is to handle complex household chores. It can perform delicate tasks like folding clothes, folding towels, and house cleaning with great precision. Nezha: Drone that swims underwater and flies in the air It has been developed by a team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University located in Shanghai, China. The average age of its Research and Development team is just 25 years. This is a hybrid aerial-underwater vehicle that can fly in the air like a drone and as soon as it goes underwater, it starts working like a submarine. Unitree Go2: Rope Jumping Robot This is primarily a four-legged robotic dog. It has been developed by China’s famous robotics company Unitree Robotics, which is known worldwide for its extremely agile and affordable robotic dogs. Rope jumping is easy for humans, but it is a very complex task for robots. For this, the robot has to track the speed of the rotating rope using its camera and lidar sensors. The robots jumped rope together in the air without stopping, with perfect timing, which demonstrates their advanced motion algorithms and real-time sensing.
