container! More and more research projects aim at predicting the natural disasters in advance to
                  avoid serious damage and protect the inhabitants of that area.

                  Robotics  has  paved  the  way  for  computers  associating  closely  with  human  brains.  Emotion
                  sensors have been developed that can now recognize the feelings of a person with their facial
                  expressions. These are robots with artificial intelligence and programmed using super computers.

                  Robotics gained a vital place in the environmental sector. A robot developed in England can
                  attack insects like some omnivorous plants. Also a London aquarium exhibits a robot that has
                  been inspired by a fish.

                  Video games have made the virtual world a reality. Now with the commendable advancement in

                  technology, people sail in a virtual world and interact with each other. In fact, you can now play
                  games on multiple mobiles at the same time.

                      SOME POPULAR ROBOTS AROUND THE WORLD

                  You have learnt that robots are quite useful. There are various applications of robots in many
                  spheres of daily life. Let us look at some of the commonly known robots.


                  Sophia Robot

                  Sophia is one of the most advance robots known around the world.
                  It  was  created  by  a  Hong  Kong  based  company  called  Hanson
                  Robotics. It was activated on 14th February 2016. The most striking
                  feature of Sophia is that it can recreate 62 of the human expressions
                  which no other robot can do at the time.
                                                                                                   Sophia Robot


                                                       Starship Technologies Delivery Robot

                                                       Starship  technologies  developed  a  delivery  robot  which  is
                                                       capable of delivering automatically. It can also be controlled
                                                       by a remote control. It moves at the speed of a pedestrian
                                                       (about 6 Km/h) and deliver within a 2 mile radius.



                  Starship Technologies Delivery Robot

                  Kuri

                  It is a family style robot that was designed to interact with
                  your family. It also has the ability to capture images and
                  shoot videos. It is very expressive and has a unique robot

                  language.  It was created by Mayfield Robotics based in
                  The United States in the year 2017.
