Karel Čapek certainly did not know where to reach his stories about robots. Tvroci naughty humanoid robot in the Terminator series showed these machines to destroy the human race. But our civilization with them has some other plans. Robotic arm and its derivatives have been somewhat an integral part of every household.
Robotic devices are not a privilege technicians ..
It is known that the robotic systems are used both on Earth and in space while performing dangerous and technically demanding operations.
In industry they replace human labor. Are faster, more reliable, Neide the sick and their damage or loss are just a matter of finance and technology.
On the other hand a real humanoid robots are still far from reality. But three U.S. institutions have presented a new generation of humanoid machines called R2 - Robonaut.
Robonauti new generation
NASA, General Motors and Oceaneering Space Systems have invested money and knowledge into creating nonhuman robots - the type of our partners in future space exploration and industry.
Instead of arms humanoid robots will carry scientific instruments
Does anyone remember Asimovljevih laws of robotics?
Robonauti are equipped with new systems, which perceive the world around them. Hand in hand with the astronauts as a standalone unit or on the Moon, Mars and elsewhere in the universe they will give a strong impetus astronautics research.
Robonauti type 2 (R2) are rapid, sensitive, if necessary, gentle or strong machines with the possibility of verbal communication with people. We will be able to work independently run operations, crouch, lift the stone from the Martian soil, feel it with your hands, feel the smell and taste, multifunctional scanned by the eyes in a wide part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to make chemical and biological analysis of samples, help one another, or a hand man when needed. Meteorological sensors, fast computers, strong joints, motors, levers made of synthetic materials has yet to understand just a machine, the language of zeros and ones. Software support will give them an opportunity to "smart thinking" and judgmental things about themselves and make autonomous decisions with self-study during their work.
On the other hand, astronauts will work with humanoid robots greatly facilitate the work, and their appearance will give them a psychological dose of extra comfort and safety at work.
Robonaut hand provides astronaut
Despite all the power electronics, information technology, motor skills, mechanics ... these machines will still represent "the people without souls." But who knows what will be their successors, for which godinu.Misije to the moon and Mars would be unthinkable in any case without the use of technology. By showing examples of possible Robonauta us first hand waving and gentle female voice from the surface of Mars, do not be human, but robotic.
