“Meet the Robots Ready to Revolutionize Our World – Are We Prepared for Their Rise?”
It’s a genius method of scouting and spying without having to stuff soldiers into submarines or put them into scuba diving gear which makes them vulnerable to attack.
Actroid-F
Hiroshi Ishiguro of Japan’s Osaka University wanted to create a lifelike android, so he whipped together the Actroid-F. She can blink, speak, and recognize faces. Don’t even bother annoying her with pokes because she can fend off pokes and slaps, meaning she’s one of the first robots to actually get annoyed.
In fact, she’s about three years away from putting people she doesn’t like into headlocks that can’t be loosened up. These robots are getting out of hand.
Eelume
Now that the world of robotics has entered the world of eels, we should be excited (scared). Deep sea cables can’t repair themselves and it’s a VERY dangerous job for a human to do. So, Norwegian engineers created this snakelike robot.
These robotic eels are mostly used for offshore drilling installations. It’s also used in the military for mine countermeasures and undersea surveillance. It’s able to dive 500 meters beneath the surface and can be entirely autonomous or remote controlled.
ASIMO
Honda is known for having pretty reliable cars, but most people don’t realize that they also created a humanoid in 2000 that’s kind of creepy, yet kind of astonishing. ASIMO (which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility), is displayed in the Miraikan museum in Tokyo.
