Proliferation Of Robotics

Introduction

Proliferation of robots can be defined as the rapid increase in number of robots. Based on the Oxford Dictionary, robots can be define as a machine that can perform a complicated series of tasks automatically and also a machine that is made to look like a human that can do some things that human do. There are numerous kinds of robots that have been invented in this world. This included the machine in the factory and medical machine in the hospital not only the human like robots. It is called robots as long as it can perform complicated tasks.

Nowadays, youngsters are encourages to invent robots that can perform various tasks. The robotics courses are offered in the university to interest youngsters, these marks on how important

There are many examples and experiments created by using robots. Firstly, there are experiments conducted on purpose to explore and demonstrate the utility of an interactive service robot in a smart home environment, and for the purpose to improve the quality of human life (Limbu, Tan, & Por, 2010).

The experiment shows how the FusionBot receives order from the customer, grabbing the cup and moves towards the coffee machine, communicate with the machine and dispensing the coffee and finally bring the cup to the customers. This experiment receives different response from respondent, 68 valid responses were receives out of 100 survey questionnaires. More than half of the respondents were satisfied with FusionBot services, nearly one quarter feel that its hard to communicate with the robot and the remaining respondents indicated that it is not easy to learn on how to use the robot (Limbu et al., 2010). The video of this experiment occurred during the TechFest 2008 event. Other than to improve the quality of human life, robots are also invented for the purpose of search and rescue

These robots have been participated in various disaster events like World Trade Center after the September 11 attack, Sago Mine Disaster and in conflict zones as well as natural disasters like hurricane Katrina and the La Conchita Mudslide (Ventura & Lima, 2012).

Other than that, there are also examples of delivery mobile robots name i-Merc. i-Merc are developed with the aim of increasing the quality of the meals transportation service inside the hospitals and health care centers (Carreira, Canas, Silva, & Cardeira, 2006). The robot is equipped with a heating system in the meal compartment which ensure the meal temperature and to prevent bacterlologic proliferation. The i-Merc also integrates a personalized diet information system where information’s regarding patient’s diet can be accessed by the service personnel (Carreira et al.,
