With technology seeping into every aspect of our lives, it’s becoming evident that computers, robots, machines, and algorithms are going to have the ability to do most of our routine jobs. Machine learning makes a lot of unimaginable things possible. The robotic industry has grown exponentially for the past few years, and today, we stand at the edge of a robotic revolution. In fact, we are now in the second machine age where robots have the ability to take on mental as well as physical work. They have the ability to substitute jobs – not merely complement them.
Collaborative robots can work directly with people and interact with them. Well, drones are already popular and big companies like Amazon also have created services around them. Industrial robots will also see a huge transformation and will not be as expensive as they are today. Artificial intelligence is one of the major drivers of this revolution.
Here are a few insights into robotics in the near future:
- Robots will be more social. Instead of mindlessly doing chores for you, these robots will recognize facial expressions, body language, and even verbal cues and provide more human-like interaction.
- Robots need not have a human-like figure but will be able to interact in a number of ways to make life easy.
- With swarm technology, robots will be able to communicate with each other as well.
- You might even be able to customize a robot and choose the voice, age and make the experience more personal.
- Robots will effortlessly fit into our families and could easily be programmed for home life. Well, they can be designed to learn, remember and recognize each member of the family and react accordingly.
We are right around the corner of a robotic revolution and in the near future, the robots will take the next step and integrate more personally in our lives!
