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.





            Aibo
            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.
