Robots are machines programmed by computers, capable of automatically doing difficult or
                 complex tasks. If you look at modern robots, you can say that they are electro-mechanical
                 devices that can follow instructions to carry out specific jobs.

                 AI and Non-AI Robots

                 All the robots that are available in the market are not AI-enabled. Some of them are non-AI
                 robots that look similar to AI robots. Let us understand the AI and non-AI robots.

                 AI Robots

                 AI gives robots  a  computer  vision  to  navigate,  sense  and  calculate  their  reaction
                 accordingly. These robots are called AI-enabled robots. Let us learn about some of the
                 popular AI robots.

                 Kuri

                 It is also known as an intelligent robot which can understand context and
                 surroundings, recognise specific people and respond to questions with facial
                 expressions, head movements and unique sounds.




                                                               Sophia

                                                               A humanoid is a kind of robot which resembles

                                                               a  human.  Sophia  is,  till  now,  the  most  famous
                                                               social humanoid. It was released in 2016, and
                                                               now she has become a media personality. She
                                                               is  the  first  humanoid  to  receive  citizenship  in
                                                               Saudi Arabia.







                    Initially, Sophia did not have legs, so she couldn’t move. But later, she has been
                    upgraded with legs and now she can move freely.
