The International Robot Expo, sounds like a dream come true for people like us
who have been ardent followers of technology!
How about we do this together and educate the world of the progress the world
of robots is making?
Stay tuned till the end of this video and we are sure that
this goal we have set, will be achieved in no time!
Welcome back robot lovers, we are all here to get all the latest updates about the
latest International robo expo.
Hit the like button and subscribe to AI Sience to keep
learning more about the future technology.
Let us know in the comments section, about your favourite robot being mentioned
in today’s video.
We will be getting back to you with a question that we don’t know
the answer to.
This will help us make things more interactive!
So let’s get started!
Making robots only for industrial purposes seems to have turned into a thing that
belongs in the past.
With the increase in more humanoid robots, capable of handling
a lot of humane tasks and capable of making sure you are safe and comfortable,
these robots have taken over the expo with a huge margin.
These robots are al bi-inpired meaning thereby that the technology
they will be using will be much closer to what we see in real life.
The show was an absolute banger and was attended by
people throughout the globe!
Being a country that has been supplying 45% of all
robots made in this world, Japan has been making significant growth in robot
technologies.
It has been contracted for various tenders in the world and also has
been able to bring in a lot of innovations, and significant changes with each update.
We will start it all up with the Kawasaki robot called Capricorn.
This four legged robot is mobile enough to travel and go through
any kind of obstacles without a lot of issues on the way.
Not claiming this to be the best they can do, this is still one of the
very good robots we saw in the expo.
Let’s make it a bit more interesting for you.
This robot has wheels, horns that deers have naturally, a steering wheel, legs and a
lot more features.
It also has a handle that can be used to control the robot
manually.
The robot can also carry you along; that is if you weigh less than a
hundred kilogram.
So, this robot is developed to carry people around.
It can also be used in construction sites and in farmers.
The robot can be used by farmers, to help them transport their produce from their fields
back into storage.
The robot also has the ability to self-balance itself and make
sure that the person riding it is safe enough to not let them fall.
The body monitoring feature is what makes this robot
very special.
The next one we have for today is also developed by Kawasaki and is a service
robot this time.
It is called the Nyokkey.
One of the key abilities that this robot has is
the ability to move and work in an unstructured human environment.
This robot knows how to handle human beings, boxes and
all other requirements that you may have in your warehouse.
It will also be able to serve people in the restaurants.
It has a LIDAR technology in it that helps it to
create a map of the environment.
Now, in case it gets confused, the operator has the
ability to turn it into manual mode to use the remote control.
It has the ability to learn and hence, can learn new skills.
Next up on the list, we have a general purpose robot that is capable of executing a
lot of tasks without having any flaws to it.
It has been developed in conjunction with an aerial work platform.
The robot can be controlled via a remote and has all sensors
in it, that will help the human understand all essentials relating to grip, strength
and control.
The electric actuators provided in this robot have a lot of capabilities, in
terms of accuracy and strength.
Being an industrial robot, it has been designed for a
specific cause.
The case for this robot is to maintain and work with the railroads.
This will help increase wages as the skills required to operate machinery of such a
kind with high precision is not an easy task.
So, now let's have a look at another humanoid robot.
Yet again, this robot has been developed by Kawasaki called Kaleido.
The main objective of this robot is to support people who do hazardous jobs and need
a helping hand in it.
On the other hand, when we say act as a helping hand, it
literally means that since the robot is capable of taking care of the elderly, in
a very delicate manner.
Being the strongest robot as well as the most agile ones, there
has been a lot of expectations from it.
This means that the kind of work we can expect from such a robot is to be able to
help people in dangerous situations, for example, an accident.
The robot has a lot of strength, and will also be able to deal
with a few falls here and there, as these are
completely expected in the field from a robot with such capabilities.
It will also be able to lift up things to a maximum extent
of 60 kilograms and balance itself in case it gets into an unstable position.
Medical excellence is something that the world needs a lot these days.
As an attempt towards it, Kawasaki, in partnership
with Seimax, Medicaroid was developed with unique capabilities.
IOn contrast to anything we mentioned earlier, this robot is designed not for heavy works
or transport, but for precise movements.
The large degrees of freedom this robot has makes it possible for it to have the
ability to do a lot of operations.
It has also received the regulatory clearances from all
concerned bodies which makes it ready for it to be deployed in the health sector.
A gripper is one thing all companies will need.
This is when Tokyo Robotics came up with this robot that is capable of handling
various sizes of cargo boxes.
The best part about this gripper is that it intelligently
analyses the kind of force that is necessary and forms a threshold to prevent
any damage to them uie to excess pressure.
It takes into account the pressure being applied, the mass and stability to
make sure it works in the most efficient manner.
On the flip side, the robot is only designed for short distances, say for example
packaging products or placing them on the conveyor belts of some kind.
The sensors allow this robot to position itself in the
best possible manner, while balancing the box in its grips.
It has a good freedom when it comes to the degrees of movement and
has intelligent systems for analysing all aspects related to the delivery of the
box.
Next up is Nextage Fillie.
As the name suggests, this robot is made to be able to
handle the demands of the next age.
It is able to handle a lot of operations and is
completely humanoid in appearance.
Yet again, this robot is for industrial purposes and has very practical features stored into
it.
This robot is extremely efficient and has been preferred by a lot of companies in Japan.
The design has helped it do the work that requires high accuracy.
The robot is also good for the hospitality industry
however, improvements may be necessary on this front, especially because they call
it a robot of the nextage.
The price tag that it comes with is $50,000.
There are a lot more robots present in the expo which just blew our minds away.
A robot that was capable of reciprocating the
moves of another robot, a wheelchair that was electrically powered, with a display that
will be used in amusement parks and similar places as it shows the different 3d
animations present at various places throughout the venue, robots which are capable
of cooking Japanese pancakes and coffee and a lot more.
One of the best robots that we saw was the one that will play
table tennis with you!
Yes , this robot that we are going to tell you next, can play
table tennis with you.
Before that, the question we need to ask.
Is there a name for the technology that helps a robot analyse
the movement of another person and replicate it?
Let us know the answer to this question and we promise you with
more information about this and other topics in future.
So, the robot that can play table tennis with you is called the Forpheus.
This robot was developed by Omron and has been really
efficient in the game.
The robot is highly accurate and seldom loses.
The robot can predict the trajectory of the ball
before and after it has touched the racket.
This robot could be a very good training companion in institutes and will help foster
a better learning among those who aspire!
That’s about it for today, make sure you stick with this channel, like this video and
