AI is used to understand human voice and provide relevant responses or actions by using Natural
                 Language Processing (NLP) technology.

                   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.
