Google Lens is an AI powered app that lets you point your camera at something and then
displays similar objects, suggestions based on the object, etc.
ROBOTICS
Robotics is a branch of engineering that uses technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and
Machine Learning. It deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robots.
Robots are nowadays used to build cars, manufacture and pack items, perform surgeries.
They are also used in space exploration, laboratory research, bomb dispersal, farming, mining,
etc. Household robots, like cooking bots, lawnmower and vacuum bots have proved to be helpful
assistants.
A robot may resemble a human, or it may be in the form of a robotic application, such as robotic
process automation (RPA).
Robotic Process Automation
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a software robot running on a physical or virtual machine
that mimics human actions. With RPA, software users create software robots that can learn,
mimic, and then execute rule-based business processes. The goal of RPA is to transfer the process
execution from humans to robots. It is actually a sequence of commands executed by the robots
using a set of business rules. It is used for payroll processing, call center operations, credit card
applications, and so on.
Some Popular Robots
Sophia is considered the most advanced humanoid robot. It is the world's first robot citizen.
Aibo is a robotic dog. It can develop emotional bonds with family members and provide love
and affection.
Pepper is a friendly humanoid designed to be a companion at home and help customers at
retail stores.
Atlas robot provides emergency services in rescue operations. It is also called disaster-response
robot.
Nao is a small humanoid robot, packed with sensors. It can walk, dance, speak and recognise
faces and objects.
HRP-5P is used for handling large objects and tools on construction sites.
Asimo travels all around the world as a brand ambassador for robots, making people aware
of how robots can make life easier. It can dance, run and even kick a soccer ball.
Ameca robot’s movements are more lifelike than those of other robots. Companies creating
AI or machine learning technology can use Ameca to test and present their technology in
front of a live audience.
