How do robots work ?
Robots made our life simple. AI enhanced the evolution of robots in a spectacular way. They can fill colours in our lives. If uncontrolled, then darkness also. Let's know how robots work, their mechanism, and what happens if robots gained full intelligence and overpower humans. So you don't miss upcoming amazing stuff waiting for you. Our body is designed in a way that it can easily adapt to any condition. We have muscles, senses, brain and energy to activate every other body part. A robot also has the same components. Typical robots have movements, physical strucuture, motor, sensors, power supply and brain like computer that controls all movements. They replicate our own and animal behaviours. There are famous robots like: Hanson Robotics' Sophia, Mayfield Robotics' Kuri, Sony's Aibo, a robodog, octopus gripper, Honda E2-DR and other sophisticated robots which follow the same mechanism. Have you ever tried to write with your right and left hands at the same time? Only 1% of the whole population is ambidextrous according to a study. But robots can be programmed to use their both hands equally well. They have a reprogrammable brain in which we can feed numerous tasks and it performs them exactly how it learned. Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce kris to you. Hey kris, Kris: Yes boss. He is kris, a robot I programmed graphically. I fed kris with some tasks like talking, walking, turning his belly left and right continuosly and other simple ones. If you program to walk, then it walks away like this. There will be combinations of programming which you can choose on your own. Ok, but what is the meaning of word Robot. It is derived from the Czech word 'Robota' which means forced labour. Most of the industrial robots are working continuously without rest for mass production. They have hands like us, shoulder to control their movements, and joints. These robots are used in the places where human brain is not necessary. We know that we can't work continously. Our mind won't accept that. But robots are programmed for hard labour and for tough jobs. You can see, these robots are arranging chocolates in an order. Yes, we can do this work. But, robots do this relentlessly. There are other kind of robots called mobile robots. Nasa's fido rover is an example for this. These kind of robots can move. The hard part lies in providing a locomotive system for the robots. Typical robots like Sophia and Kuri have wheels so they can move fast. Kris: Oh! like me! Yes, exactly. Like you. Some wheels are designed for hard paths also. They move using pistons inside them which work rhythmically according to instructions. Scientists are way more interested in bipedal locomotion, which means walking with legs. First, these robots must learn how to use their legs to move as we learnt how to walk when we were kids. Our brain must know certain muscle movements to make walking as a habit. In the same way, the computer learns the movements exactly and executes them. These mobile robots are used in various tasks like diffusing bombs, seek out land mines, exploring the unknown places like mars to collect samples etc., These are controlled using remote which is sometimes attached to them. They also work in homes, businesses and hospitals to avoid stressful work. The other kind are autonomous robots.
Autonomous Urbie is the best example for this. They are previously programmed to perform certain actions when they encounter them. For example let's take a car robot that has a bumper sensor. When it hits anything while moving, it changes its direction. These are called bump-and-go robots. Like animals, simpler mobile robots send infrared light and detects the reflection using sensors. It calculates distance based on the time taken by light to return. Advanced robots use the same in an effective way. More advanced robots have stereo vision with two cameras to calculate the depth, microphones and smell sensors to see, hear and smell the world around them. Some confine themselves to a specific region like lawn robots which work only for the lawn. Advanced robots can adapt themselves and analyze the situation though it's rough and tough. That's why these kind of robots are used for military reconnaissance, rescue operations and exploring other planets. Now, a new type of robots called randomness robots are being developed which can be used for any purpose. And we know homebrew robots. A soccer bot which can play soccer, kitchen appliances, robo pets come under this category. Kris: Will I come under this? Yeah, I think, yes. These don't adapt well to regions out of their scope. So, a company called Evolution robotics are trying to develop easy-to-use "robot developer kits".
We can build our own robots using this kit. But it's not a toy like thing, it costs 700$. But, these are a new sort of robotics. Kris: Am I useless? Hey, who told you that? Kris: You did. No, no, no. You are talking without any script in the middle. How can you be useless? Kris: Is it? Yeah you are good. Kris: Oh! Thanks, boss. It's okay. Just kidding. Artificial Intelligence: AI is the most exciting field in robotics. There is no certain definition for AI. Providing intelligence to robots is some what eligible definition, but some argue how robots can be intelligent. There is no end for this argument. If you take chess game as an example, computer learns from every step it takes. It plays itself millions of times, creates a map of strategies and play well. Google's AI already defeated the renowned player of 'Go' game, it can do many things like that. Deep learning, which is a subset of machine learning is key for the intelligence of robots. These Artificial Neural networks are constructed, which will be exactly in the form of our brain, processes the intelligence of the robots. This technology is mainly used in humanoid robots to replace humans in most places. Now let's come to our last topic. What happens if robots improved their intelligence and overpower mankind? Only one thing happens then, destruction. Elon Musk already warned so many times about this. The stuff we have seen in sci-fi movies like terminator and i-robot become true then. There will be no jobs for us. All people become dumb in front of the robot power. Some companies already stopped hiring people because of this. Issac Asimov, in his works, stated robots as gentle ones. Until we lose the control, we can be happy. If robots overpower us, our life will be doomed. That's it for this article. I hope you enjoyed.

I think he's damaged. See you soon.For more support please download app from one of my advertizement.I will also give you a chance to write an article or book.THANKS FOR WATCHING.
