Servant Robots: A Brief History
If robots have been used in enterprises for a long time, then why are there so few of them in our homes? Maximum is a robot vacuum cleaner and a set of household appliances that cannot even load laundry or dishes into itself. Such robots are not at all like those shown in the movies.
One of the first steps toward the robostlug was Shakey, created at Stanford. The task was to create a robot with artificial intelligence, able to learn and explore the world on their own. The robots were equipped with a large number of sensors that made it possible to see and feel the objects around. The project has combined achievements in the field of robotics, visual object recognition and speech recognition. In fact, he was the first robot to reason.

One of the followers of Shakey is Flakey Robot.
In 1966 in the USSR, Boris Grishin, a teacher at a technical school from Kaluga, introduced the Automatic Radio Electronic Secretary . This multifunctional robot answered calls, welcomed guests, poured and served drinks, moved around the apartment and watched the temperature in it ... Close to the ideal.
Long before the advent of Roomba and a large number of other robotic vacuum cleaners was the MowBot. The mower was automatic, battery powered, and could get about 7,000 square feet of grass on one charge. She was not so smart - she could only change direction in a given perimeter. But it was the year 1969.
Arok was not autonomous at all; it was managed by its creator, Ben Scor. Nevertheless, the robot served drinks, walked the dog and took out the garbage. Some kind of robot husband is obtained. This robot was developed in 1975.
The purpose of Drink Caddy 1 is to deliver drinks to guests. Managed remotely. The next version, DC2 , already had an audio-video system in the case and a camera. One of the first buyers of this thing - Hugh Hefner , as described in an article in the New York Times from 1982 .
DC-2.
In the eighties, many small robots were created. One of them - Omnibot 2000, released in 1984. The robot could be controlled remotely, but it could also be programmed, for example, pour drinks. The recording was made on magnetic tape.
If you had an extra 8 thousand dollars in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and you did not live in the USSR, then you could afford a similar R2D2 robot. Robot height 86 helped with homework. The brain of the SynPet Newton was a 16-bit microcomputer.
Among the most famous humanoid robots are Asimo from Honda. The first version was introduced in 2000. Robot name is short for Advanced Step in Innovative MObility. His height - about 130 cm, weight - around 50 kg.
In 2014, a new version of Asimo was introduced in April.
The first robot vacuum cleaner from Roomba appeared in 2002. It is autonomous - it just goes around the apartment and cleans up.
Nothing interesting. Just a cat in a shark costume chases a duckling.
Willow Garage Personal Robot 2 can be a great laundry clerk.
The company PAL Robotics from Barcelona has been developing robots for service since 2004. In 2012, their first commercial robot, REEM-A, was released. He can not only carry suitcases, but also be a telepresence hub and information kiosk.
REEM-C decided to reward with their feet.
While American robots frankly scare , cute creatures like Pepper are making in Japan. He can read emotions and react accordingly to them in conversation.
The robot guard from the Knightscope startup weighs 135 kg, and its height is about one and a half meters. He can report perimeter violations using WiFi or mobile communications. But he has no weapons.
The home robot JIBO raised $ 2,287,609 instead of hundreds of thousands that were needed at Indiegogo, becoming one of the ten most popular startups at Indiegogo. Its mission is to talk to people, remind of usefulness, take photos and give advice.
