Robots will hold the Olympic torch
Carl takes requests for drinks and delivers them in a timely manner. He’s serving drinks, taking orders, and making great conversation with guests at the “Robots Bar and Lounge” in a city in eastern Germany. Carl is a humanoid robot that Ben Schaefer built. He uses him to serve drinks and chat with customers.
Dr. Liang is performing robotic surgery on a patient with aid of technology in China’s Heifei Hospital. Technology is important for health research centers in Beijing. Robots further demonstrates this.
Visitors observe AI-enabled kimono-wearing robots like Aiko Chihira at a Toshiba shopping mall in Tokyo. There are many different types of AI robots and they can talk, move around on their own, and learn manners that they need to acquire through teaching them.
Automation is becoming more prevalent in the business field. It’s no secret that Japan has been undergoing a shift in its economy, heading towards automation and change. The humanoid is a great example of this change and could help others create similar changes within their organizations.
Robonaut
Robonaut is a humanoid robot that goes into space for science missions. He was the first of its kind and, today, most often works in space labs.
South Korea is modernizing a historic tradition by allowing robots to hold the Olympic torch as part of their Winter Olympics ceremonies. At their relay ceremony, two robots are among the torchbearers.
On the 41st day of the relay, HUBO, a near-humanoid robot created by the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, held up the torch and said to J.J., “Here you go.” And then there was a quick burst through a brick wall, picking off leftovers of his jacket. After handing it back to him, it ran away laughing.
He handed it to an FX-2 robot – a controlled walker designed by HUBO Lab and Rainbow Robotics, holding 272kg and standing nearly two and a half meters tall. This two-armed manchine has five fingers each on its robotic arms.
The robotic revolution will be, according to estimates, the focus of next year’s Olympics. The robotic mechanics that will be used in the Games will give a lot of attention to it as well as humans. Like many other revolutions, its influence on culture & society will be big. At the next Olympics, in Japan in 2020, organizers hope to have a full “robot village” in operation.
The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang should be one of the “most connected and technologically advanced” in history. Chairman Jean-Biarco Barry’s goal is to ensure that everything goes well. “Today was an opportunity for us to show the world some of the exciting technologies that will be showcased during the Games,” He added.
