Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Best Robots of CES 2023”.
It wouldn’t be CES without a healthy dose of robots. This year’s show brought us everything from robot pets to humanoid assistance to Robo taxis here are some of the coolest and cutest robots. We saw, let’s start with the AO robot from a company called aeolus robotics. It’S a humanoid, that’s designed to help out by delivering meals or medicine or even by providing security.
The secret to its functionality lies in its gripper arm, which lets it open doors, push elevator buttons and carry objects without human assistance. Ao is sensing the table using all of the vision sensors inside the cameras inside you to see where this table is located, making sure it lifts up the package high enough to not smack into anything around it and delivers me my package. Thank you. The grippers can be swapped out for different needs, so you can choose a UV sanitizing hand that disinfects handrails or doorknobs one of ao’s. Most useful functions is delivering food and medicine to seniors.
It’S already helping nurses and elder care providers in Japan. Some of ao’s newest features demoed at CES this year include sensors that help the robot get around even in the dark. It has cameras to help it recognize, faces and objects. It can learn who a patient is and alert a nurse if it senses.
Someone is on the ground or not where they need to be now you’re, probably not going to get one of these in your house anytime soon. The goal is for companies to use this robot for functions like helping out around a hotel or providing security. Aeolus isn’t sharing how much this robot helper will cost, but it’s pricing AO like a service with a monthly fee based on the need.
But what, if you do want a cute little robot roaming around your house? Well, lucky for you, there’s Luna, the pet robot Luna is designed to mimic the behavior of a real pet like a dog or a cat. She’Ll greet you when you come home, follow you around the house and express Joy when you pet her when you call Luna’s name, she’ll, respond and come to you. She’Ll also respond to voice and gesture commands. Like turn around or go to sleep, you can even play like you would, with a real pet by having Luna chase a ball or try to catch a laser light. Ki technology, the company that makes Luna says she can keep your actual pets company when you’re not home. I hope they like robots. Luna is also equipped with a camera and speaker. So you can monitor your home or your actual living pets when you’re away Luna can recognize up to 20 Faces simultaneously and can spot you in a crowd and speaking of faces. Luna has an LCD screen face to show emotion.
Her legs and ears also move an expression if you’re looking to add Luna to your family, get ready to Shell out 449. Hey pets are expensive if you want to spend a little less on a new robot friend, there’s also doggy a robot dog by wowie. This robotic, not so furry friend, also responds to being petted and picked up hi there and can even give little kisses. Oh he’s gon na give you kisses. Oh what’s unique about doggy is that each toy has individual characteristics, so the one you get might have different. Colors or shapes for eyes, its ears could be different or the color of its tongue.
Each toy will also have a different personality, meaning it’ll have different barks and running speeds. One of doggy’s defining characteristics is that it can display words and emoticons when it wags its tail. He’Ll also have a happy face, emoticon on his tail that he wags when he’s really happy. So it kind of like, like a Tamagotchi, meets a robot dog, meets that everything you’ve always wanted. Doggy will tell you when it’s hungry and you can feed it and play games through an accompanying app. The robot pet can also do tricks like sing and howl doggie.
Will be available in October for 80 dollars? Now it’s not just about cute robot pets. This year, robotic concepts are also making their way into more vehicles. Take the Hyundai iconic 5 Robo taxi, which is being tested in Las Vegas. This car can navigate busy streets and pick up someone hailing a ride, think Uber and Lyft, but without a driver behind the wheel.
A handful of other companies, including Uber and Lyft, have been working on autonomous ride. Sharing, waymo and Crews also offer fully autonomous ride. Hailing services in some U.S cities, but it looks like Hyundai, wants in on the fun the iconic 5 Robo taxi is slated to become available in late 2023. Farm equipment is also getting a boost from robot technology.
John Deere unveiled a sensor-powered, robotic technology called exact shot. Instead of shooting a stream of fertilizer into the soil as seeds are planted, exact shot will send out timed bursts of fertilizer that coat individual seeds. This is designed to reduce fertilizer use by as much as 60 percent. That means Farmers spend less money and fewer chemicals go into the ground.
John Deere says its exact shot system will be available to Farmers in time. For this year’s spring planting Tech like this, could be especially useful as the global population grows and climate change shifts how farming is done. Sensors and Robotics can help farmers do more with less land and fewer resources. Last year, John Deere also showed off its first autonomous tractor, so this is really just the beginning of high-tech agriculture.
It’S not just food production, that’s getting a helping hand from robots, there’s also a robot mixologist called Adam that can make over a hundred types of beverages. It can serve as a robot, Barista or bartender, but the feature I find most exciting is that it can concoct a refreshing cup of boba all by itself. You place an order through a touch screen, then watch Adam’s, robotic arms.
Do the rest. It’S designed to help businesses, but I’m already wondering if there’s a way we could turn this into a kitchen appliance. Maybe someday there’s been talk about the future of Robotics for decades and this year it feels like more companies are trying to find ways to make that technology actually useful, whether it’s by providing a robot assistant or helping us hail a ride or even just by offering Us some company, in the form of a cute little friend which of these products, would you be most interested in trying out and would you ever invest in your own robot, pet or assistant?
