Exploring new frontiers
The Antarctic has long been a worry for scientists as to how they would learn more about the sea there, but in recent news, a robot has allowed scientists to map the sea ice in 3D. Jaguar, a 300-pound yellow robotic vehicle helped them gain valuable information on the thickening of the ice. Industrial robots are also building cars and other transport. And when it comes to finding out more about the tricky, hostile environment of space, it's the robots that have to be credited with the exploring. Robotic missions have been sent to the Moon, Mars, Venus, Titan and Jupiter. This May, in a giant leap in engineering, robot Dextre (by the Canadian Space Agency) repaired the International Space Station's Canadian robotic arm in space.
Hospitality
Say hello to the army of robo-chefs! Fancy a machine serving you a virgin mojito? Did you know, as per reports this November, a 'smart' Caribbean cruise liner had robots mixing drinks in what is called the world's first 'smart ship'. As patrons place orders on tablets and a wall displays their wait time, the jerky, drink-mixing bots used mechanical arms to pull down bottles, adding mixes, shaking and stirring.
In Harbin, China, robots have been serving tables at an eatery. They dish up dumplings, noodles and wait on diners. As per a report, when someone walks in, they say, 'Earth person hello. Welcome to the Robot Restaurant.' Once the orders are placed, the robots get into the kitchen and cook the meals. Two Chinese students at a university also came up with a 'wok robot' that can dish up 600 dishes! A Japanese firm has come up with an engineering masterpiece — a six speed sushi-making robot — capable of churning 2,500 pieces of sushi per hour!
And it's not just terra firma, you can expect to be served by a flying robot — the first commercial attempt of its kind — by the end of 2015! The demo was presented this November to Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and these futuristic automated waiters are set to be launched at an outlet in Singapore then.
Helping at home
This is how tech-savvy equipment is going to change basic domestic chores and make life easier for you! The Cocorobo, a Japanese premium vacuum robot, that's part of the smart home system, cleans your floors, tells you the weather and more. The Scooba can vacuum and wash floors at the same time. There are also window cleaners and lawn mowers as well as robot pool cleaners. And if you're tired with all that cooking on a weeknight, Armar can come to the rescue! Called a 'kitchen companion', he fetches stuff from the fridge and does the dishes too!
Correct your golf swing
Always regretted that bad swing that has been spoiling your golf game? Now, a 10-feet-tall robot in South Seattle called RoboGolfPro, wants to help you. It can be programmed in a various ways to allow golfers to realise the correct move and thus improve their game.
