ROBOT AND DRONE NEWS: ROBOT AS A COMPANION SERVICES PROVIDER


Did you hear of Pepper robot? It is a Japanese robot, able to display emotional responses like a human being. Created by a Japanese company named Softbank, this robot has a humanoid body.

Pepper was originally envisioned as a companion robot for household settings, but now has grown to be used in several different settings globally.

In Belgium, they guide patients through hospital departments. In Canada, they are used as the face greeting when you enter the bank. In Japan, they sell coffee machines and, most recently, in the UK, Pepper is being used for community engagement.




Pepper is engaging with humans across the globe and people are becoming more used to the idea of robots providing them with care.

Another such innovation in the area of companion robotics is Ryan. It is designed to assist aging people, especially those with Alzheimer’s. This companion robot can recognize your face, facial expressions, and voice while also being able to converse with you. Ryan can remind memory-compromised patients to take their medicines, go to appointments, and have their meals.


Do you know its programming can even be adjusted to be more sophisticated or less detailed, depending upon the patient? While the current version of Ryan is immobile and just a torso sitting on a table, it is expected that we will get Ryan as much more advanced in future. Here one thing has to be made clear about this humanoid robot is that not all robots will have humanoid faces and will attempt to duplicate human behaviour.

As your interest in robotics increases and technology continues to advance, you may look for the latest robot and drone news, Visit at http://robbtherobotguy.com/blog/ Would you believe drone sales is forecasted to double in the next year? Drone technology will even become an affordable extension to users’ smartphones, doing everything from taking selfies to providing entertainment for individuals. The next direction is trended towards companion services or transforming traditional robots into collaborative robots.

An overview of Drone Racing League (DRL) : Drone Racing is a new high speed competitive racing sport. Skilled pilots participate in this sport and fly quad-copter drones through 3D courses at speeds up to 120mph. DRL drones are custom-built for speed, agility, and performance. Pilots steer from the point of view of the drone wearing First Person View (FPV) goggles, enabling them to view a live image transmitted by an onboard camera. Flying a drone in a race at high speed is a challenging and immersive, yet fun experience. Those who participate in such a drone racing competition love it. They compete against each other in drone racing and make it a matter of pride and a way to check who owns the better drone. Drone Racing League arranges dedicated drone racing tournaments with high prize money. Here, the objective is to provide high speed to the drone and use the speed and maneuver skill to outpace other drones. How hard is it to race a drone? Most camera drones use

Emerging technologies are closely linked to the future of knowledge work. They play key roles in shaping and transforming how knowledge work will run and how companies in multiple industries will have to adapt and in some cases rethink their business model end-to-end. Let’s focus here on emerging technology trends. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotic technology, drones, software-defined security and brain-computer interfaces have moved significantly during this time. Artificial intelligence makes the machines and systems smarter by consuming data to train algorithms and build models that could mimic real-world scenarios and also think like humans. AI technologies have been the most disruptive class of technologies due to the amount of data and the evolution of neutral networks, which are being used to solve non-existent challenges currently. Robotic technology is rapidly growing, bringing in revolutionary impacts all over, that ranges f
