u must have heard a rumour that japan is making robot fotball team much more powerful than brazilian team that means pele,ronaldo fans must worry
Today its japan in the scenario of this and he is being more and more superior
The Japanese craftsman Hisashige Tanaka (1799–1881), known as "Japan's Edison" or "Karakuri Giemon", created an array of extremely complex mechanical toys, some of which served tea, fired arrows drawn from a quiver, and even painted a Japanese kanji character.[13] In 1898 Nikola Tesla publicly demonstrated a radio-controlled torpedo.[14] Based on patents for "teleautomation", Tesla hoped to develop it into a weapon system for the US Navy.[15][16]
In 1926, Westinghouse Electric Corporation created Televox, the first robot put to useful work. They followed Televox with a number of other simple robots, including one called Rastus, made in the crude image of a black man. In the 1930s, they created a humanoid robot known as Elektro for exhibition purposes, including the 1939 and 1940 World's Fairs.[17][18] In 1928, Japan's first robot, Gakutensoku, was designed and constructed by biologist Makoto Nishimura.
The first electronic autonomous robots were created by William Grey Walter of the Burden Neurological Institute at Bristol, England in 1948 and 1949. They were named Elmer and Elsie. These robots could sense light and contact with external objects, and use these stimuli to navigate.[19]
The first truly modern robot, digitally operated and programmable, was invented by George Devol in 1954 and was ultimately called the Unimate. Devol sold the first Unimate to General Motors in 1960, and it was installed in 1961 in a plant in Trenton, New Jersey to lift hot pieces of metal from a die casting machine and stack them.[20]
Commercial and industrial robots are now in widespread use performing jobs more cheaply or with greater accuracy and reliability than humans. They are also employed for jobs which are too dirty, dangerous or dull to be suitable for humans. Robots are widely used in manufacturing, assembly and packing, transport, earth and space exploration, surgery, weaponry, laboratory research, and mass production of consumer and industrial goods.[21]
Then lets look at todays modern robots evolved from vinci
now lets meet some modern robots
In a 1939 Jam Handy film, Americans at the world fair were introduced to "Roll-Oh." A hulking, six-foot-seven behemoth, Roll-Oh was the robot servant of the future. He could vacuum the floor, cook dinner, and even answer the door. Such dreams were right around the corner in those days; certainly in the year 2000...
Well, proves we're running a little late. We haven't developed Roll-Oh yet, nor R2D2 or Robby either. This doesn't mean, however, that we're not working on the problem. Here's this year's edition of the real robots catalog:
Wakamaru: Meet the modern pal for the desperately lonely. Developed by the Japanese, god bless their neurotic little hearts, Wakka is almost as nebulously described as his price is: for the record, "Wakamaru features continuous access to the Internet and comes equipped with voice and face recognition capabilities that allow the robot to search for and follow voices, faces, and movements. It has the ability to comprehend and interact with humans (such as discussing daily news it obtains via the Internet) based on a built-in dictionary and voice recognition, and can be programmed to call or email a designated person, a hospital or security firm if it notices a problem. When connecting remotely to Wakamaru via its built-in camera-equipped mobile phone, users can see images of the house the robot serves and even communicate with family members at home."So, if I have this right, the thing rolls around looking for someone, then tries to talk to them about "The News of the Weird" on Yahoo. It is also a cordless phone. It has arms, but they can't actually do anything except wave them while it talks (according to the web site). All of this for $15,000; the price of a solid Hyundai Sonata. If there is such a thing as a solid Hyundai Sonata. Line forms to the right, folks...Asimo: If a mechanical pest is worth 15 grand, then certainly a robot that can't do anything at all is priceless. You're looking at Asimo, Honda's robot-in progress. They're building this thing from the shell out, teaching it to walk, climb stairs, even dance... but apart from that, the thing is as dumb as a fireplug. It can recognize your face... but doesn't know what to do about it. It can follow your eye movement, or work out what you're pointing to... but doesn't really care. Eventually, Asimo may become the Roll-Oh of the future. It walks amazingly like it has piles, and it runs like it just pooped it's pants... but it can walk and run, which is sincerely groovy. All it's lacking is some kind of motivation. Right now, it's pretty much a Robosapien without portfolio.
Aibo: To be perfectly fair, robot dog Aibo does just about everything a real dog does. It fetches and follows and wags its tail.There's a few things it doesn't do, like poop or pee all over your house or give a damn about you. Perhaps not-so-surprisingly, there are growing numbers of people who find that the faux affection programmed into the little feller is a sufficcient substitute for the real thing. And a Labrador can't carry and play your MP3s, can it? So there you go. Look for this mecha-mutt starting at two thousand bucks.
Robomow: Now here's something a little more pragmatic for you. If you're not looking for love and companionship, you can take that two grand and sink it into a robotic lawnmowing system. You run some wire around the periphery of your lawn, press the "Go" button, and walk away until one of two things happen: 1) The machine finishes mowing your estate, at which point it returns to its charging station, or 2) Some neighborhood kid thinks its cool, and swoops down and steals it.
Robocleaner: Apartment bound? Well, then, how about a robot vacuum? Karcher's mecanical sucker system bounces around your apartment, sucking scum, and then returns to its charging station where it poops it out into a receptical you can empty in your kitchen trash can. Consider it an "Uber-Roomba," witrh the power needed to actually do some cleaning while it scurries through your pad. Of course, for fifteen hundred dollars, it damned well ought to do something.
Q-Taro: I just know you'd love to have one of these; only from the minds of the Japanese. The Sony Q-Taro is a big hamster ball that follows you around, keeps track of your temperature, and responds with different colors. It's a robotic mood ring, folks. Sadly, this isn't for sale to us westerners right now, so don't line up to beat the Christmas rush. I know you're disappointed.
Well, there you go - the state of the art in modern robotics, folks. It looks like we've still got a long, long way to go before the best minds of the 21st Century are able to surpass - or even match - the "quaint" dreams of the fifties and take on the duties of Roll-Oh.
