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.

                 Types of Robots

                 Robots  available  in  the market  come  with  a  variety  of features.  Some  are  AI-powered
                 robots, while others, though similar in appearance, are non-AI robots. Let us understand

                 the differences between AI and non-AI robots.
                 AI Robots

                 AI gives  robots  a  computer  vision  to  navigate,  sense  and  calculate  their  reactions
                 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 that 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  that  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.

                 Aibo is a robotic dog. It can develop emotional bonds
                 with  family  members  and  provide  love,  affection

                 and joy in nurturing and raising a companion.
