Social Humanoid Robots are definitely the future
She looks so real isn’t it? She’s Sophia, the first social humanoid robot to get a citizenship (from Saudi Arabia). She’s brilliant, can trigger facial expressions, she looks so real and has all kinds of abilities to learn from her situations and surroundings (she’s an amazing humanoid robot).
Humanoid
Sophia looks like a woman and there is no question about it, she also has the ability to socialise with the people around her in a positive way, so she’s popularly known as social humanoid robot because of her looks and abilities.
Sophia is just a beginning from Hanson robotics, they proved that something as brilliant as her could be developed by writing codes and putting hardwares together, so the limit and boundaries is far away.
New developers, startups and robotic firms are coming in front with their own robotic inventions and interesting robotic prototypes which they’ve developed. Without a doubt, more Sophia’s and social humanoid robots will get birth within a span of 5–10 years time.
They’ll start doing your work, managing the economical activities and a lot of other super human activities and their precision is surely gonna be higher than yours. They can work 24x7x365 without even having any kind of emotional feelings like tiredness etc.
Learning
This is the most scariest part of all, because they know how to make predictions and assumptions by learning something. The most significant
difference between human beings and robots was that human beings could learn and act accordingly. When robotics was starting up, companies were putting a set of commands so that the robot can be productive within an environment.
But these robots are totally different. They know a lot of things which even the developer of that robot couldn’t figure out. The developers has installed machine learning concepts within the robots, so that the robot can learn from the experiences and surroundings.
It can make predictions, work productively and even create a system of it’s own to make day to day activities happen. They just work flawlessly and the improvement is just going on (that’s the best part).
Future?
The future is surely gonna be great with more Sophia’s. They’ll do a lot of wonderful activities, they’ll do a lot of productive work and solve real world problems for sure.
They don’t seem to have consciousness right now, and if that part is solved, automatically they’ll even start showing emotions like love and remorse. So let’s wait for the developers to make more humanoid robots to socialise with us. The upcoming years are surely gonna be very interesting. Stay tuned!
