Charting the Rise of the Robots

February 25, 2014 by DailyBits Leave a Comment

For a long time, robots were the preserve of science fiction. We’ve always been fascinated by the idea of intelligent machines, whether it was the development of Asimov’s three laws of robotics, the bickering Star Wars droids, or Douglas Adam’s manically depressed Marvin. Yet, the impact of robots on day-to-day life has been slow to emerge. Few of us have the android domestic staff that was the stuff of 1950’s visions of the future, for example, but, in fact, robots are in more areas of our existence than you might think.

Industrial Robots

The first robotic patents for machines to be used in industry were granted in 1961, so they have a longer history than you might think. These were mainly for simple transfer systems that moved components from one place to another to aid assembly processes.

Because they were able to repeat tasks over and over again to the same level of accuracy, robots quickly found their place on the production line. This was something that came to public consciousness with the Fiat car adverts of the late 1970s. By this time, robots were undertaking other repetitive tasks such as welding and paint spraying.

Depending on your age, you might be able to relate when I say I have been reminiscing and thinking a little about The Jetsons and Small Wonder. While I did not watch TV regularly as a kid, these two shows were very popular during that period, and every kid I knew was fascinated with them, probably because of the robots.

Several decades later, we’re still not close to having a robot-person like Vicki (see Small Wonder!), but we just might have something a step closer in the Zeno Boy Robot. [Read more…] about Meet The Zeno Boy Robot

I may be wrong, but knowing how to cut and debone poultry the proper way may not be all that common. Sure, there are people who can do that in their sleep, but for people like me, it is probably best to leave that task to the experts.

But what if you can have the Intelligent Cutting and Deboning System? [Read more…] about Meet the Intelligent Cutting and Deboning System: a Robot That Can Cut Your Poultry Up

Robots are the future. People have been saying that before I was born. Books have been written. Movies have been made. We are in their future, and we now have robots. Lots of them.

Sure, the state of technology is still not at par with many a writer’s imagination, but we have come a long way. There is even such a thing as a robot barber! [Read more…] about Need a Haircut? Check Out the Robot Barber!

James Cameron’s Avatar made a very big splash when it came out, with practically everyone raving about the movie. Well, maybe not about the story line but the movie in general. It was not my first 3D experience, but I found it pretty fun. Truth be told, I have never seen it again in its entirety. Once was enough, in my opinion.

What is interesting about Avatar is the concept of being able to project yourself as another being. Now that is the stuff that science fiction is made of, and these things are always fascinating. What if this can actually be done in real life? [Read more…] about Avatar Robot Created by Japanese Scientist

So you have a robot. Now what? You can always play with it. Invite your friends who are crazy about robots. Take a video while you are all having fun, and probably upload it to YouTube. What if you are alone in your enthusiasm? What if you love your robot – or robots, for that matter – but want to interact more with other people who have the same passion?

There’s an app for that! Ooops – not an app, but a social network!

I kid you not. There is now a social network specifically targeted at robots, and it is the brainchild of RobotShop, which is supposed to be the world’s most popular e-commerce site that specializes in service robotics. What does MyRobots offer? [Read more…] about MyRobots: The Social Network for Robots
