6-1 Assignment: Modern Day Robotics Benjamin Lohr Southern New Hampshire University IT-450 Artificial Intelligence Dr. Joshua Montgomery 3 December 3, 2023
In this world technology is growing at a rapid pace and so is the grasp of knowledge of those systems. We as humans love to make life as easy as possible for ourselves and the way we are able to accomplish that is by the involvement of robotics and the advancements it brings. The way robotics helps with that is we can program these AI robots to be able to perform simple tasks to improve the quality of life. We are now going to talk about three different projects that are in the works and see what purpose they have as well as the capabilities that they hold. Let’s first start with the “Asimo” project that is being developed by Honda. This AI was developed for testing and trying to understand what limits technology has to advanced humanoid based robots. This project never had one primary function but instead was programmed to handle a multitude of functions in order to get it as close to a human as possible. This robot is able to walk around and navigate paths through ultrasonic sensors, laser detection, and multiple controls to stay stable while walking. Not only can it navigate but it can also recognize simple gestures like reacting to an extended hand by offering a handshake. It can also wave back to a human if they have at Asimo. Another thing it is able to accomplish due to the degree of freedom that the Asimo hands have is performing tasks like pouring a drink and carrying it without spilling a drop. Sadly, the development of this project was ceased in 2018, its achievements are still being used in the production of other robots to this day. Now let’s take a look into what Boston Dynamics developed. The robot I am going to be talking about is the “Spot Classic”. This robot or a variation of this robot is being used right now in the militaries battle fields. The primary purpose of this thing is to carry equipment, supplies, and personnel through the battlefield. This robot is equipped with four hydraulic powered legs due to having to traverse different types of terrain indoors and outdoors. The robot has many different sensors and systems to control all of its movements and balance it for any navigation. It
