the technological advances in humanoid robots are starting to speed up. We might be a long way from
Netflix's Altered Carbon stylistic future, but that doesn't mean that we're not doing incredible
things in engineering, artificial intelligence and robotic design. Keep watching!
Hi! My name is Alex and welcome to Al News Daily. In this video, we bring you a part 2 to the top
5 female humanoid robots 2022. Don't forget to subscribe and turn on the notifications.
Let's get started! Number 5. Vyom Mitra
Before orbiting astronauts on India's first manned mission to space back in December 2021,
the Indian Space Research Organisation was all set to send 'Vyommitra', a 'lady robot' in the
unmanned Gaganyaan spacecraft. The robot was the centre of attraction at the inaugural session
of the "Human Spaceflight and Exploration - Present Challenges and Future Trends".
Vyommitra, a combination of two Sanskrit words Vyoma (Space) and Mitra (Friend), took everyone
by surprise when she introduced herself to the audience. "Hello everyone. I am Vyommitra, the
prototype of the half-humanoid, been made for the first unmanned Gaganyaan mission," the robot said.
Explaining about the role in the mission, she said, "I can monitor through module parameters,
alert you and perform life support operations. I can perform activities like switch panel
operations..." The robot said she can also be a companion and converse with the astronauts,
recognise them and can also respond to their queries. ISRO chairman K Sivan told the half
humanoid will simulate human functions in space and also interact with the environment control
life support system. "It will be simulating exactly the human functions there (in space).
It will check whether the system is right. This will be very useful to simulate, as if a human
is flying," he added. Number 4. Shalu
Move over Sophia, it is time to bring our focus on the first female humanoid robot that was made in
India. Robot ‘Shalu’ is developed by Dinesh Patel who hails from a very small village, Rajmalpur,
UP, and is a computer science teacher in Kendriya Vidyalaya, IIT Bombay. Being the Indian humanoid
robot, Shalu can speak in 47 languages including nine Indian languages and 38 foreign languages.
Let’s explore all the smart functionalities of Robot Shalu, which has made India proud in
robotics. After several years of hard work and effort to develop a humanoid robot from 100%
discarded waste material that includes plastic, wood, cardboard, aluminum parts, and many more,
Dinesh’s willingness came out successful. Robot Shalu has overtaken Sophia Robot in terms of its
skills and functionalities. Dinesh Patel made sure that common people from different parts of India
as well as international countries can meet Shalu and have a seamless conversation.
This first female humanoid robot is dedicated to girls and women.
The computer science teacher showed the world that it is possible to build things with
local materials and this Indian humanoid robot can compete in capabilities with
those robots that are built with high-tech in resourceful laboratories around the world.
Shalu is world-known as the first social and educational Indian humanoid robot to speak 47
languages efficiently. The functionalities of this first female humanoid robot is mentioned
in the Computer Science syllabus for class six in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. Dinesh Patel
took inspiration from India’s dream mission Atmanirbhar Bharat, ‘Skill India Mission,
and Digital India Mission. Robot Shalu can answer in any language that is in the trained dataset
with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. The robot can
identify people with face recognition technology as well as remember these people after meeting.
Object recognition technology can help Shalu identify different objects in any environment.
In the education field, the Indian humanoid robot can provide correct answers to all types
of educational questions from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English, Geography, and many more
subjects. She can start a casual conversation with people while solving different math problems.
The hands of Robot Shalu are flexible and can move around to show human behaviors and gestures such
as a handshake, making fun, showing happiness, sadness, irritation, and other human moods.
People do not need weather forecast news from the media, this first female humanoid robot
can provide them with the weather report for the next ten days at different places.
If anyone wants to know about the daily horoscope, Shalu will be there to predict
on the basis of the date of birth. It can also provide addresses of multiple popular places
while giving reviews on movies and gadgets. Shalu has sufficient knowledge of other international
countries and their whereabouts. These are just a few smart functionalities of this female robot,
there are much more to explore. Number 3. The Kodomoroid TV presenter
Named after the Japanese world for child ‘komodo’, this girl/woman hybrid was designed in Japan
and can perform a number of simple tasks such as reading the news,
and explaining scientific topics.She can speak in a number of voices and languages — including
a male voice! — and motors in her body make her face move realistically when she speaks.
Currently, she works at Tokyo's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation
and you can get her to give you directions or read you the weather when you visit.
She is way more than just automated machinery as she possesses exceptionally life-like features
and is capable of spontaneous human interactions. Together with her adult version, Otonaroid
("otona" means adult in Japanese), the pair are achievements of how far research in technology
and robotics has advanced. Complex machinery and programming are combined to act as "muscles",
such that every part of the android is capable of complex human gestures and facial inflections,
as well as moving and interacting with others as realistically as possible.
The android uses a tele-operation system and integrates ubiquitous sensor systems to convey
a human "presence". Of course, glitches are bound to occur. Otonaroid's lips were out
of sync with her voice and she kept silent when asked to introduce herself at the opening of the
exhibition. But we can trust the Japanese creators to continue working diligently on that.
Number 2. Geminoid F Japanese roboticist recently
unveiled his latest creation: a female android called Geminoid F. The new robot,
a copy of a woman in her twenties with long dark hair,
can smile, frown, and change facial expressions more naturally than Ishiguro’s previous androids.
Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University, is famous for creating a robot replica of himself,
the Geminoid HI-1, a telepresence android that he controls remotely. The new Geminoid F (“F” stands
for female) is also designed to be remote controlled by a human operator. In a press
conference in Osaka, Ishiguro demonstrated how the android could mimic the facial expressions
of the woman as she sat in front of a computer with cameras and face-tracking software.
Ishiguro built the android as part of his work at Osaka University and ATR Intelligent Robotics
and Communication Laboratories, with collaboration from Kokoro Co., a Japanese firm that specializes
in animatronics and ultrarealistic androids. In designing Geminoid F, Ishiguro’s team and
Kokoro engineers wanted to create an android that could exhibit a wide range of natural expressions
without requiring as many actuators as other androids they’d developed. In particular, they
wanted the robot to sport a convincing smile—not just any smile but, as Kokore put it, a “toothy
smile.” And it can also make a frown. Number 1. ARISA Robot
Navigating Tokyo’s subways could be quite overwhelming for the residents and tourists alike.
For many visitors, the map resembles a big ball of tangled yarn. To help riders better traverse
the subway system, Tokyo officials are trying out a friendly new robot. The 6-foot tall robot
is named Arisa and she’s stationed at the Ueno-Okachimachi Station on the Oedo Line.
Straight out of an anime comic, Arisa provides directions, locations of the nearest toilets, and
info about the surrounding area. The robot also features an interactive screen where riders can
access even more information. For tourists, Arisa will provide information about local attractions
and proper subway etiquette. The human-like like robot speaks four languages: Japanese,
English, Korean and Chinese. Arisa will even pose for pictures if you ask nicely. The robot, who has
previously seen work as a receptionist and casino host, was created by THK and Aruze Gaming.
Along with Arisa, robots will appear in five more Tokyo stations to help direct
travelers. This is in part to help improve service and fight Japan’s severe labor shortage.
If all goes well, robots like Arisa will help guide tourists during the next Olympics
and eventually become permanent fixtures throughout Tokyo’s subways.
