Application of Personal robot
The table below represents the areas of application of robots within and around the home. Robots are being built to fulfil all the functions laid out below as humans are finding some activities to be tedious, time consuming or not productive at all. Personal robots are fast growing into applications such as vacuuming of floors, washing of windows, lawn mowing, scrubbing house gutters and now they are being applied in cooking of meals. One example of this is the Moley Robotics (see appendix I) from the UK which is a kitchen machine that is autonomous which employs the use of two robot hands and arms that reciprocate a human’s movement in the kitchen while cooking from a 3D recording and reproduces all the actions performed by the person in the 3D recording (Powley, 2015). Robot vacuum cleaning machines are now being used and they have different mop versions and surfaces as they are of different types and they include Samsung vacuum cleaners, Neato cleaners and iRobot (see appendix II) which use sensors to clean the different type of floors (Suse the Robotguide, 2013). Aoutonomous personal robots are now in the market which have come with artificial intelligence to reads moods and recognize faces which offers many functions like energy saving options on bills and consumption by tracking all devices in the house and also offering security by employing use of AI algorithms to connect to security devices.

Robots have been useful to humans since the past. They’re made to make human life easier. Since early times people have been dreaming of making robots and different people have made different kinds of robots. Robots has been useful in the past, they’re now useful in present-time, and they’re going to be useful in the future.
In “Alone Together: The Robotic Movement,” Sherry Turkle explains some of the negative effects that robots are having on our lives. She also explains how they can have a negative effect on our daily lives without us even noticing. I am someone who knows a great deal about technology, however I had no idea that close human-robot interaction was happening at such an inappropriate level. There are many different examples Turkle uses in the article, however, I will only talk about two. I agree with Turkle not only that there are ethical problems with human-robot interaction but also that a lot of other forms of technology might be doing more harm than good.
Transition- Since the invention, the house robot helps people in need. This invention will grow into more advanced technology
Most of the world’s robots are about as fascinating as a coffeemaker. After years of making emotionally engaging machines with students at the MIT Media Lab’s Personal Robots Group, they think the time has finally come for a personal robot to inhabit our homes and help us live our lives. The purpose of this project is to help busy family members coordinate with one another and communicate with the outside world many people don’t have time to enjoy family happiness and sit down with their family for some comfort but Cynthia Breazeal’s home robot wants to be your family’s new best friend so you could once again take a break from the busy lifestyle u live in.
Domestic or household robots - Robots used at home. This type of robots includes many quite different devices such as robotic vacuum cleaners, robotic pool cleaners, sweepers, gutter cleaners and other robots that can do different chores. Also, some surveillance and telepresence robots could be regarded as household robots if used in that environment.
As a matter of fact, with the gradual development of science and technology, robots have been widely used in people’s work and life. On the one hand, robots have brought a mass of convenience to people.
Teamwork is important because in “La Vida Robot” by Joshua Davis teamwork was required because in order to make the robot they were going to need some help. In the same way Isaacson showed teamwork Steve and Wozniak had each other help instead of having a team.Davis and Isaacson share the same perspective as both believe that people must work together in order to build a strong team.
Josh the Teenager was gaming with his friends when he dropped his Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich on the floor. “Aww”, he thought. “I’ll just let mom pick it up.” All of a sudden, a whirr caught his attention. The sandwich was being scooped up by a little red robot with a tray. He noticed that it had a camera pointing at him. The Clean Queen™ provides a unique service: it can clean your house. This is not just a mock off of iRobot™, because it not only cleans better, but it can mop, sweep, dust, and many more things. This robot provides owners with quality family time, relaxation time, recreational time, and many more things. According to a poll from PR Newswire™, the average American spends 13 hours per week cleaning. The Clean Queen™ makes life much more enjoyable in many ways, helps the economy, and provides a very clean house.
Some very common robots are washers, dishwashers, automatic vacuums, and some voice activated devices. We have these robots to make everyday tasks easier, to do a better job, or to do something that humans could never do. The three main components of any given robot are the sensors, the actuators, and a computation process. The term ‘robot’ comes from the extravagant playwright by Karel Čapek who introduced the word in his hit play in the 1920’s,
Lately there have been more and more smart machines that have been taking over regular human tasks but as it grows the bigger picture is that robots will take over a lot of tasks now done by people. But, many people think that there are important ethical and moral issues that have to be dealt with this. Sooner or later there is going to be a robot that will interact in a humane manner but there are many questions to be asked like; how will they interact with us? Do we really want machines that are independent, self-directed, and has affect and emotion? I think we do, because they can provide many benefits. Obviously, as with all technologies, there are dangers as well. We need to ensure that people always
We all hate doing chores like vacuuming, cleaning the pool, or mowing the lawn, because they take up a lot of our precious free time and they drain us of our energy. Ease your life by buying the robotic gadgets shown in this article, and let them do the work for you while you sit back and
These robots are known as the ICub, and excel at interacting with the human population safely. One of these robots, known as Molly, exists in Bristol, England (Honigsbaum). This small combination of metals, wires, and computer components actually helps the elderly with simple tasks that they would ordinarily need help with. In addition to helping the elderly, the ICub can also help clean the work space of individuals. Simon, an upper-body humanoid, assists in moving a variety of items and cleaning workspaces. This robot was developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and statistics state that, “Simon could tell with close to 80% accuracy whether someone was paying attention or ignoring him.” This proves that it is indeed possible to create helpful machines that can also interact with humans through the regulation and extra development of artificial intelligences. All of the activities that the ICub Robots partake in are completely beneficial to the global society and will have a large impact on the culture of the world as a whole. An added plus to the push for technological development is that countries can use these advancements as a way to better the future of their state. These nations can accomplish this through the integration of robotic aids into their school systems. An instance in which this concept is used occurs in the Connecticut school system.

Imagine if you would not need to help Mom and Dad, carrying stuff for them or cleaning up after them! You can have a robot help you with your daily activities such as cleaning your room, washing your car, and even wiping for you once you are done using the bathroom. A robot is a machine designed to complete or carry out multiple tasks when programmed to do so. Robots play a huge role in discovery, such as Mars Curiosity Rover, that is used to observe Mar’s surface and environment. We have used Robots to study the moons surface to see what it is like and to learn more about space. We use robots today in military by using them to disarm bombs and find enemy locations. Robots will have a positive impact on our future, because robots will help us to discover more in the ocean and space, help us save lives, and aid in the military.
Domestic robots or service robots are machines designed to accomplish household chores. These robots are slowly becoming more and more popular in our growing world. “Starting from humble beginnings in the middle of the twentieth century, the field has seen great successes in
If you think robots are the kind of thing you hear about in science-fiction movies, think again. Right now, all over the world, robots are performing thousands of tasks. They are probing our solar system for signs of life, building cars at the General Motors plants, assembling Oreo cookies for Nabisco and defusing bombs for the SWAT team. As they grow tougher, more mobile, and more intelligent, today’s robots are doing more and more of the things that humans can’t or don’t want to do and in many cases taking away the need for human labor.
