If you are a kid who wants to be a robot maker, then this article might interest you. This article is a good start. You'll learn about the first robots and what made them so popular, as well as the technology behind them. You'll be better equipped to make a decision about whether a robot arm is right for you.
Shakey
Shakey the robot was initially a basic mobile robot. It was also the first robot to be able break down commands into smaller chunks, and execute them all on its own. In the 1980s, a competitor created a robot similar to the robot that could walk. Shakey the Robot, today is the most loved and advanced robot ever created. This article will provide an overview of Shakey's capabilities and how it became the first robotics robot.
Gakutensoku
The Gakutensoku was the first robot in the eastern world when it was invented in the late 1920s. It was the brainchild of biologist Makoto Nishimura, a professor at the Hokkaido Imperial University. He had previously studied the Marumo, the earliest robotic mammal, and was also the editorial adviser of the Osaka Mainichi newspaper. His study of the Marimo was also an inspiration.
Unimate
Unimate Robotics Association designed the Unimate robot, which was introduced for the first time in 1980. Unimate, which was its first production-line robot, was launched by the Unimate Robotics Society in 1984. The robot could lift die castings and welded parts from an automobile assembly line, jobs considered too dangerous by humans. The Unimate had a memory drum that held the completed tasks.
Stanford arm
Victor Scheinman developed the Stanford arm. The arm was powered by air and was named after the Norwegian word for snake, "orm." It had 28 inflatable bags sandwiched between seven steel disks. It was capable of moving and grasping objects by inflating a number of sacks. It was the world's first computer-controlled robotic arms, but it wasn't commercially viable. In 1967, General Motors purchased the Stanford arm and began developing its own robot.
Roomba
The Roomba robot was the first to be a real hit with the public. The Roomba is one of the most beloved home robots ever, having sold over 15,000,000 units. Roomba can be used for cleaning floors, vacuuming, and many other tasks. It can also be powered by solar energy, meaning it can clean your garden.
RoboTuna
RoboTuna an underwater robot that mimics the biology of tuna is called RoboTuna. The natural gait and flexibility of the fish means that its front two thirds of its body are rigid, while its rear three-thirds are flexible. RoboTuna's biomimetic design allows it to be tuned to learn the mechanics behind thrust and drag. The robot has the potential to move at sea and is currently being tested by NASA and the United States Navy.
Sophia
While some claim that Sophia is the first humanoid robot, others believe it is a scam. Hanson Robotics' chief science officer Ben Goertzel told Humanity+ that Sophia's intelligence is higher than that of a human. This was due to her knowledge from the internet. Although she won't be 'alive in the same ways as a person, the robot's connection to the internet of data and things will give her an adaptive nature that is more complex.
FAQ
What can AI do for you?
AI can be used for two main purposes:
* Prediction - AI systems can predict future events. AI systems can also be used by self-driving vehicles to detect traffic lights and make sure they stop at red ones.
* Decision making-AI systems can make our decisions. You can have your phone recognize faces and suggest people to call.
Who was the first to create AI?
Alan Turing
Turing was conceived in 1912. His mother was a nurse and his father was a minister. After being rejected by Cambridge University, he was a brilliant student of mathematics. However, he became depressed. He discovered chess and won several tournaments. After World War II, he worked in Britain's top-secret code-breaking center Bletchley Park where he cracked German codes.
1954 was his death.
John McCarthy
McCarthy was born in 1928. McCarthy studied math at Princeton University before joining MIT. He created the LISP programming system. In 1957, he had established the foundations of modern AI.
He died in 2011.
What are some examples AI applications?
AI can be used in many areas including finance, healthcare and manufacturing. Here are just a few examples:
-
Finance - AI can already detect fraud in banks. AI can identify suspicious activity by scanning millions of transactions daily.
-
Healthcare – AI is used in healthcare to detect cancerous cells and recommend treatment options.
-
Manufacturing - AI is used to increase efficiency in factories and reduce costs.
-
Transportation – Self-driving cars were successfully tested in California. They are currently being tested all over the world.
-
Utilities can use AI to monitor electricity usage patterns.
-
Education - AI has been used for educational purposes. Students can use their smartphones to interact with robots.
-
Government - AI can be used within government to track terrorists, criminals, or missing people.
-
Law Enforcement - AI is used in police investigations. The databases can contain thousands of hours' worth of CCTV footage that detectives can search.
-
Defense - AI is being used both offensively and defensively. Offensively, AI systems can be used to hack into enemy computers. Defensively, AI can be used to protect military bases against cyber attacks.
Which industries use AI more?
The automotive industry is one of the earliest adopters AI. BMW AG uses AI for diagnosing car problems, Ford Motor Company uses AI for self-driving vehicles, and General Motors uses AI in order to power its autonomous vehicle fleet.
Other AI industries include insurance, banking, healthcare, retail and telecommunications.
