Robots of the 21st century. "Inhuman" robots destroy the peaceful population. a place. Spaceship Spaceshipone.

Robotic systems continue to develop and gradually penetrate into many, the most diverse areas of human life, such as production, medicine, remote intelligence, as well as fields of entertainment, security and personal care. Currently, Japanese developers create robots to assist the elderly, while NASA is developing a new generation of space researchers, and art people explore new entertainment opportunities.

Collected in today's selection of photos of robots created in the nearby past may allow us to look into our near future.

This week the world agitated the news about the appearance of Henry - the first in the world . Development belongs to RealBotix, specializing in the production of advanced sex dolls. In their assortment - big collection manoid toys, appearance and the character of which can be customized at the request of the client.

In addition to silicone penis, lubricate appearance and muscular torso, engineers trained artificial intelligence Henry to read poems and joke.

"He can listen to you, remember everything you said, but until you can endure trash or repair the crane," Matt Macmallen executive director of RealBotix is \u200b\u200brecognized in the comments for The Times.

The cost of Smart Dalbotix doll begins from 10 thousand dollars, but depends on the specification. So, for an additional fee, the robo-lover can change the color of the hair and eye, skin tone or accent. If the cubes of the Silicone Press of Henry did not impress you, Realist collected a list of even more amazing devices, which are working for the benefit of mankind.

ATLAS Rescuer Robot

While atlas has no torso and attractive appearance, but it can already be called the most mobile humanoid robot in the world. The lightness and realism with which he performs complex athletic tricks, is impressive much more talking sex dolls.

Boston Dynamics with financial support from the United States agency for promising research in the field of US defense (DARPA) built atlas to conduct search and rescue operations. It can navigate over rough terrain and overcome obstacles using range sensors, stereo-vision and other sensors.

The updated version of Atlas Unplugged was released in 2015 and equipped with features that, according to developers, differ from the original Atlas. The modern version of the robot can quickly climb the stairs, make a flip back and deftly jump from one platform to another.

Robot companionPepper

Henry's sex doll can be useful, but hardly it will be more responsive and understanding than Pepper Robot, built by the Japanese company Softbank Robotics. Artificial intelligence of the device trained to recognize primary human emotions (anger, joy or sadness) and react to them accordingly. So, thanks to systems computer view And speech recognition, Pepper can interpret facial expressions, voice tone and other non-verbal signals, responding to people foldable and respectful.

Numerous sensors allow a robot to quickly recognize the faces of the people with whom he faced, remember their preferences, help make an order or hold simple consultations. Currently, Pepper is already used as an administrator in several offices in the UK, it works in banks and medical institutions in Japan, as well as entertaining visitors at 400 Hamazushi network restaurants in Japan.

In 2017, the international team of scientists took to modify Pepper to help care for older people in the nursing homes. The project received financing in the amount of $ 2.55 million from the European Union and the Government of Japan. It is expected that with its results the world will be able to familiarize themselves in 2019.

Funny robotman.

Petman is another brainchild Boston Dynamics, funded by the US Department of Defense. The main task of the development is to serve as an active mannequin for testing perfect protective suits that could serve people in the case of a chemical or biological war.

Under Petman suit there is a robotic skeleton and many sensors that can detect disorders of tightness, track the microclimate and even sweat artificially (after all, the protective suit should be not only reliable, but also comfortable).

Today Petman is the fastest dongy robot, developing the maximum speed of walking about 7 km / h. In addition, he can crawl, squat and perform other dynamic movements.

Boston Dynamics state that Petman will also be able to be used to perform other problems in emergency situations: to conduct search and rescue operations in fire, under the influence of radiation or in other conditions dangerous for humans.

Robot Diver Ocean One

Ocean One created robotics in the Stanford Laboratory to work at a depth, unattainable for most people. In addition to artificial intelligence and stereoscopic vision, it is equipped with a tactile system feedbackwhich allows scientists.

Unlike other large and bulky remotely controlled robots, it has an anthropomorphic design that makes it very maneuverable and neat. So, in 20 016, the Ocean One in the Mediterranean Sea dropped to a depth of 100 m and explored the wreckage "La Lune" - the flagship ship of Louis XIV, which sank at the southern coast of France in 1664.

The archaeological expedition was for Ocean One first, but its striking success suggests that one day the robot can perform highly qualified tasks under water, too dangerous for divers.

But what about the robot Sofia?

This rating would be incomplete without Hanson Robotics, but not at all because of its technological perfection. In essence, Sofia is not much different from Henry's sex doll, and although it was represented in the UN, received the citizenship of Saudi Arabia and courtesy with the Prime Minister of Ukraine Vladimir Groisman, the functionality is limited. Being connected to the Internet, Sofia can pick up answers to questions from the cloud storage. While she does this not very quickly, because at official meetings operates in the interview mode, voicing in advance written answers.

However, it would be wrong to depreciate Sofia. From other human-like robots, it is distinguished by a developed faith, and today can reproduce more than 60 mimic reactions.

The development of futurists from Intel - "21st Century Robot". Jimmy's robot, or elder brother, as it is called in the article, is intended for professional scientific use. It is with the help of such robots that the characteristics of the interaction of a person and an intelligent device can be studied by voice, gestures, etc. Unfortunately, its value on this moment It is $ 20,000, and this dramatically limits the circle of people who have the opportunity to work with it.

The price of the younger model is $ 1,600. According to the creators, it should appear in every home as a smartphone. Ideally, after a while you can download a new application, and the robot will become a translator between you and Spanish friends. This is this model we bought. However, let's start in order.

Who we are and why bought a robot

We are students of the Tver State University of East Nikita and Izoyan Arman - are the leaders of the project "Physica." Path ". The project is aimed at the popularization of physics and technical creativity among schoolchildren and students.
One of our main directions is robotics. Long studying existing models of different companies, we decided to take a chance and take the beta version of the junior brother Jimmy (HR-OS1).
Before receiving the long-awaited box, we worked with Multiplo and Arduino, mastered 3D printing on Ultimaker 2 and bottled with Oculus Rift helmets. However, now is not about it.

Overview HR-OS1, beginning

Let's say frankly, sleep from 04/30/2015 to 1.05.2015 did not set out due to strong unrest before the upcoming assembly.
Time 9:00, and we are already at the headquarters, complete enthusiasm and strength.

That's how it looked in the box (I really liked the stickers):

Main characteristics

2) Intel Edison

It has nothing to tell here, since everyone already knows about him. But we were pleasantly surprised, seeing an alternative "brain" - Raspberry PI 2 Model B. And for the latter, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and wires for connecting to the main board were also provided for the latter.

3) Battery for 2200 mA · h

4) Aluminum attachments, bolts, nuts, holders, etc.

The manufacturer assures 5052 aluminum parts. We did not consider to be honest. But we can say that the details are made high quality and conscience. Photo (already assembled):

5) The main fee of Arbotix-Pro

On the fee are mounted engines and -

6) Camera

About the latter also does not say on the site, but in the kit it is. This is a regular webcam VGA: 0.3MP; 640x480. We accidentally burned it for certain reasons the team decided to acquire a sharper model.

7) 12V power supply

8) what was not mentioned clearly, but was expected

Charger, wires and adapters and so on. Not enough except HDMI for Malinka, but these are little things.

9) PS3 controller

We also did not expect to see:

The assembly process itself was not very difficult.

As a result, it turned out such a kid:

It was about the robot, of course. Nikita growth 180 cm, younger brother - 42 cm.

By the way, the name we have not come up with him yet, so you can leave your options in the comments.

Our world is dynamic, and almost every day we learn about new interesting inventions that facilitate our life, and in general contribute to progress. For almost two decades of the 21st century, a lot of meaningful inventions brought. We will talk about the brightest of them in this article. So, it seems to your attention the top 7 inventions of the beginning of the 21st century according to the site version!

7th place. The Large Hadron Collider

(Tank) - invention, which generated many conspiracy theories. Conspirology lovers found the relationship between the launch of the collider and the natural cataclysms; I urged the public that, because of his work, the Earth will absorb the black hole; Even there is an opinion that the tank is actually not used for its intended purpose, but for secret experiments of the secret government. But in our top he fell not for it.

Large hadron collider - the largest experimental installation.

The essence of the work of a large andron collider is that heavy particles accelerate in its rings, and the study of their decay products make it possible to make many discoveries in the energy area. In particular, Boson Higgs was opened, the existence of a top quark was confirmed and many other interesting things that were convicted of a considerable noise in the world of physicists. So the tank is one of the achievements that helps us to know the device of our world.

6th place. Spaceship Spaceshipone.

A controlled subborital spacecraft, which can transport up to 3 passengers - this characteristic is given by the SpaceShipone apparatus. Under the subborital is understood as the height of more than 100 km, and this is already space. Today, the spacecraft is not used, because He fulfilled his basic tasks - he brought a victory in the competition to his creators (yes there was such a competition, where it was necessary to join such a device), and proved that cosmic tourism is available today. Total Spaceshipone made 17 flights.

Now SpaceShipTwo is actively being developed, which can transport 6 passengers and 2 pilots. It is tested since 2010, and in the near future the developer promises to make the first space passenger flight. True, such pleasure will be worth a lot.

5th place. Virtual and Augmented Reality

Oculus Rift - Development that has brought virtual reality to a new level. These glasses virtual reality At some points are several times superior to competitors. In particular, the largest scope, the presence of head movement tracking technology, eye safety, improved 3D effect, which in the aggregation provides a deeper immersion in virtual reality. Oculus RIFT should be the most accessible option for 3D game lovers. Yes, and leading representatives of the game industry prepare new toys, which are primarily compatible with Oculus RIFT. In general, it can be expected that these virtual reality glasses will soon finally capture their market segment.

And this is a demonstration of the technology of augmented reality using Microsoft glasses

As for augmented reality, it is worth paying the invention to the invention Google Glass. Despite all its innovation, this gadget did not receive due recognition. Now Google Glass production is suspended, but the second generation of these points is expected. Augmented reality is used in many areas: in medicine, in defense, training and, of course, in games. In July 2016, a supplemented reality attracted attention to the exit, where this technology Take the basis. Undoubtedly, this technology will develop, and certainly facilitates life to us. Who knows what they have conceived in Google, because today there are developments of lenses augmented reality.

4th place. Prosthesis, managed by the power of thought

- invention that has become a significant property of bio-cybernetics. This bionic prosthesis today is best in its own way. Artificial hand is controlled by impulses that sends the brain. Predecessors were often limited only to a simple bending-extension of the palm, when Bebionic 3 can serve as a complete replacement of the lost limb.

Nigel Ecland, one of the owners of this invention, can quietly tie the laces, cook food and perform other small manipulations. However, such benefit is available for everyone, because its cost is about 15,000 British pounds.

3rd place. 3D printer

The three leaders included such a revolutionary invention of the 21st century, like a 3D printer. 3D printing technology has opened a lot of interesting opportunities. This is especially reflected in engineering, because Now it is much more convenient and less expensive to work with models. Directly at home, you can create models and small details of almost any complexity. 3D printing is gradually being introduced into the construction of buildings, and in the production of cars, and even in the manufacture of weapons.

3D printing very much in medicine: it was simplified by the production of prostheses and implants, as well as the production of some drugs through 3D printing. Separately, it is worth mentioning that there are experiments today (and quite promising) on \u200b\u200bthe press of donor bodies, which a lot of lives can save in the future. So the 3D printer is really a revolutionary invention!

2nd place. Autonomous artificial heart

It will be about the artificial heart of Abiocor, the invention of which gave the basis for future developments in this direction. Abiocor can extend the life to a patient having severe heart failure. Unfortunately, at the time of the technology appearance, such a heart could be implanted only by people with certain anthropometric data. Battery charge only for an hour. However, the artificial heart worked, people continued to live.

Today, thanks to the experience of ABIOCOR, new technologies are being introduced, which in the future can save not one million lives, because According to statistics, heart disease are the most common causes of deaths in the world. That is why this invention is in the second place of our top.

1st place. Social networks

Yes, yes, it is social networks. Of course, you can say that the first social network appeared in 1995 and all that ... however, we will be repelled from the invention, or rather the development of the most popular social network - Facebook. It is she and many other popular today's similar sites are the inception of the 21st century. Social networks It is imperceptible to ourselves firmly entered our lives. They not only changed the way of communication in a social plan, but largely influenced the promotion of the business, the colossal chain in marketing was caused, influenced the advertising market and, in general, literally pierced the Internet's expanses with their presence.

In the first place, social networks come across because today everyone has been dealing with them. Let's recognize that you either did not hear about some of the listed inventions at all or only partially aware. And the user at least one social network you probably are. And now for a minute, think about what happened if all the social networks of the world suddenly were banned? Say: "People finally have been resting on the streets." Yeah, come out ... come out with posters in your hands. And it will not be a bunch of schoolchildren, because the audience is social. Networks today are more than a billion. In short, the consequences will be unpleasant. Social networks - the main invention of the beginning of the 21st century, which managed to touch the considerable part of the population of the Earth.

Conclusion

We will finish what they started - the world does not stand still! Ahead of us is waiting for new inventions, discoveries, scientific breakthroughs. The task of each person on the planet take care that all this is used for the benefit and benefit of further peaceful life.
