The appearance of the future robots differs from the generally accepted, the car will not be like people. Such a vision was described by the head of the Laboratory of Robotics Robotics Alexey Gonochenko as part of a large-scale special project to the 180th anniversary of the Sberbank.
“The attitude of people to new technologies is often formed under the direct influence of mass culture, and it imposes an image of a robot as a human-like android. Meanwhile, the real robots are far from this – their appearance is extremely functional and corresponds to the tasks that they perform.” Says Gonokhenko.
However, it leads as an example and other developments, where robots specially create as much as possible people. So, the team of the Italian Institute of Technology has created a child’s robot, which is self-learning, communicating with people.
The authors of the project note that one of the important directions of modern robotics – the creation of soft robots from materials like human tissues. The main purpose of soft robots is the conduct of surgical operations. It is expected that in the future they will be able to change the shape, moving inside the human body. These technologies can also be used to create flexible exocosm. Unlike rigid exospkelets, they will not limit the natural movements of a person and with much greater efficiency contribute to medical rehabilitation of patients.
Special project “Tape.ru” is timed to the 180th anniversary of the Solition and describes in detail about large-scale technological and social transformations. They are dictated by the beginning of the era of the fourth industrial revolution and relate to genetics, bioengineering, medicine, economics, education and other key areas. The project speakers became the leading specialists of the Sberbank.
