With the development of artificial intelligence technology, people’s expectations for robots are also rising, but it will still be a long time before robots can truly come into the homes of ordinary people. However, robots cannot be narrowly understood as humanoid machines. The impact of robots on our daily lives has actually begun. Here are 6 types of robots that are already commonly used.
Food sorting robot
Rice is a very common staple food, but you may not know that every grain of rice you eat may be sorted by a robot.
The rice sorting machine, or rice sorting robot, is a miracle of automation, but most people don’t know its existence. The hardcover rice you buy in the supermarket has quite uniform and plump grains. They are basically their masterpieces.
The machine has a high-speed camera, lighting and computing unit. When each grain of rice passes through the machine, the machine will analyze the image of the rice grain and determine its grade, and control the direction of the rice grain through airflow. Pop the rice grains into the correct boxes respectively. In addition to rice, beans and seeds can also be classified.
Medical training robots
There are many robots in the medical field to help doctors and nurses train professional skills. These training robots can simulate various situations and allow medical workers to practice in real situations. To practice diagnosing and treating various conditions before touching a patient, you can think of these training robots as the flight simulators used in pilot training.
Some of these training robots are life-size, some look like real people, and some of the more professional ones may be part of human organs.
Police Training Robots
Sydney-based Marathon Targets Robotics sells a range of powerful mobile robots covered in thick armor for use by military and police trainees for shooting training. Simulate combating criminals in actual combat.
Venom extraction robot
There are many drugs that prevent malaria or suppress the immune system that use scorpion venom as one of the ingredients. It is obvious that extracting scorpion venom is not an easy task. It may even cause injuries to workers, but for robots, this is a task that can be solved perfectly. The scorpion is tied at arm's length and an electric current is used to induce the scorpion to release its venom.
Sewer cleaning robot
Sewer cleaning and inspection are more important than ever, but it is difficult for humans to enter small spaces. Robots can enter various spaces without being afraid of getting dirty. It helps humans clean and unblock sewers.
Transportation robots
Some container ports have achieved partial automation. Huge containers are unloaded from ships by personnel controlling cranes and transported by huge wheeled cranes around the port. Move, and once it's ready for shipping, it's automatically loaded onto a container truck. Logistics robots are also used in many warehouses to move goods.
