The Future belongs to ROBOTS!

The social restrictions on person-to-person interaction have toppled the conservative means of helping people deal with a disaster. At the same time, the condition points out the possible benefits of socially active robots, according to Jeffrey Krichmar, a UCI professor of cognitive sciences.

In general, I don’t think the public is very aware of what these robots can do to improve our lives,” he says. “There’s more education that needs to be done. I hope COVID-19 will be a wakeup call to our robotics community to spur new ideas.

In an experiment, a UCI doctoral student in robotics, the Toyota Human Active Robot is known as CARL SR correctly speculation that she’s hungry finds an apple, and fetches it to the student.
Socially active robots interact with humans and can accomplish household chores, accomplish healthcare jobs, and suggest emotional support.

Mobile devices with numerous sensors and manipulators, they interconnect through wireless internet connectivity and can perform either independently or via remote control. The robots are employed in education, health sector, and business, as well as disaster-aid operations.

Robotic dogs, cats, and baby seals can provide emotional support to those who are isolated or anxious due to shelter-in-place limitations, along with the aged and children with neurodevelopmental illnesses related to the comfort that a pet offers but without the carefulness, feeding, and untidiness.

These are not yet in prevalent use, however, with the progress in
robotics such outcomes are soon expected. The world of robotics is rapidly changing than you can ever imagine.
