Modern robot Sophia


Sophia is a social humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Sophia was activated on April 19, 2015 and made her first public appearance at South by Southwest Festival (SXSW) in mid-March 2016 in Austin, Texas, United States.She is able to display more than 62 facial expressions. 

Slikovni rezultat za robot sophieSophia has been covered by media around the globe and has participated in many high-profile interviews. While interviewers around the world have been impressed by the sophistication of many of Sophia's responses to their questions, the bulk of Sophia's meaningful statements are believed by experts to be somewhat scripted.

In October 2017, the robot became a Saudi Arabian citizen, the first robot to receive citizenship of any country. In November 2017, Sophia was named the United Nations Development Programme's first ever Innovation Champion, and the first non-human to be given any United Nations title

Sophia was created by Hanson Robotics in collaboration with AI developers, including Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc, who built her voice recognition system, and SingularityNET, which powers her brain.

The robot, modeled after actress Audrey Hepburn,is known for her human-like appearance and behavior compared to previous robotic variants. According to the manufacturer, David Hanson, Sophia uses artificial intelligence, visual data processing and facial recognition. Sophia also imitates human gestures and facial expressions and is able to answer certain questions and to make simple conversations on predefined topics.

Cameras within Sophia's eyes combined with computer algorithms allow her to see. She can follow faces, sustain eye contact, and recognize individuals. She is able to process speech and have conversations using Alphabet’s Google Chrome voice recognition technology and other tools. Around January 2018 Sophia was upgraded with functional legs and the ability to walk.Sophia is conceptually similar to the computer program ELIZA, which was one of the first attempts at simulating a human conversation.The software has been programmed to give pre-written responses to specific questions or phrases, like a chatbot. These responses are used to create the illusion that the robot is able to understand conversation, including stock answers to questions like "Is the door open or shut?"
David Hanson has said that Sophia would ultimately be a good fit to serve in healthcare, customer service, therapy and education. Sophia runs on artificially intelligent software that is constantly being trained in the lab, so her conversations are likely to get faster, Sophia's expressions are likely to have fewer errors, and she should answer increasingly complex questions with more accuracy.

ROBOTS Robot is a device for helping people in everyday life who carries out tasks instead of man. Robotics is a science that deals with robots.   Many robots are made to look like humans,but many of them don't take that form .Just like : industrial robot on the left , and ASIMO (2002) human looking robot on the right.  Robotics are the most widely used in the automotive industry today and its biggest centers are in Japan, China, America and Europe.    The word robot originates in the Czech language, and the first mention of it is the Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play (R. U.R.) in 1920. Industrial looking robot.In America in 1958, and later in the Soviet Union, the first Scart and Maas robots were compiled.                                                                          ...

Industrial robots  An industrial robot (IR, also: industrial manipulator) is a universal, programmable machine for handling, assembly or processing of workpieces. It is used for manufucture. These robots are designed for use in industrial environments (eg automotive production). They belong to the mechanical engineering discipline of automation technology. The industrial robot generally consists of the manipulator (robot arm), the controller and an effector (tool, gripper, etc.). Often robots are also equipped with different sensors. Once programmed, the machine is able to perform a workflow autonomously, or to vary the execution of the task, depending on sensor information. Industrial robots are supplied in different designs and from different manufacturers. They are usually purchased as a standardized basic device and adapted to their respective task with application-specific tools. Types of industrial robots: Parallel (delta) robots Configuration of parallel o...

Robotic Sensors In order for a robot to work independently, regardless of the level of independence, he must be "conscious" of himself and his surroundings. More precisely, the robot must be able to measure its own position and speed as well as measure different sizes in the working environment, thus gaining an outline of the outer space. Different measuring devices and systems that the robot receives information about themselves and the environment are called sensors. Today, there are angular and transverse displacement devices, different touch sensors, distance measuring devices, acceleration accelerators, etc. The special class of sensor systems are visual systems, which are already in use today. Since robots are expected to be exceptional independence in the future, this is a necessary prerequisite for significant advances in sensor technology such as, for example, sensing contact with the ability to determine smoothness and surface softness, three-dimensional vision,...
