The+Future+of+Robotics

The future of robotics is an always changing subject, and is hard to be tracked. Robotics is such a large field, and ranges from humanoid robots, to modular robots, each having their own limitations, and futures.  -Humanoid robots are built with the intention of integrating into a person’s life.  They are made to look lifelike, and to mimic important human attributes, such as walking, talking, and even learning. Popular robots such as ASIMO have been making breakthroughs in this field for years, and Ho nda (the company who funds the research) has big goals for the little humanoid. They are hoping to have the robot able mimic everything a human can do within the next 10 years. Currently ASIMO can walk, run, talk, listen, see, and even learn. So in the future, Honda hopes to perfect each of ASIMO’s skills, so that he can integrate into our lives more seamlessly, and hopefully be seen in households within the next 5-10 years. -Robots have been used in the military for years. They are integrated into the vehicles, the guns, and soon, even the soldier. The military is currently constructing ‘Super Suits’ to help soldiers run for miles, and lift incredible weights, as well as to provide additional protection. These robots can be expected to be seen in the field within the next ten years. ** The Future of Modular Robots: **  -Robots will be used in many different ways, and almost any issue can be solved through the use of a robot. Modular robots will be used in the future for search and rescue missions, and even cleaning a messy room. These robots aren’t as limited by software, as they are by technology. These robots have to be able to cross all types of terrains, as well as fit in small spaces that could be any shape. Within the next 10-20 years, you can expect robots to be the first responders in search and rescue missions, and even pulling a person out of a car after a car crash.
