  Robot,from industry into family
  People's impression of the robot may still remain mostly in humanoid images in science fictions,which are able to speak and think.In fact,in real life,robots are mainly machinery devices doing automatic works,and is still far away from those humanoid ones good at talking.
  Robotics is one of human's greatest inventions of the 20th century.At first,it was mainly used in industrial manufacturing.Although the appearance of the robot was unremarkable,their role should not be underestimated.They are widely used in heavy handling,automotive welding,precision assembly,road openings,deep-sea exploration,volcano exploration,space exploration and other fields.
  The construction of these industrial robots are generally the same,mainly composed of three basic parts,body,drive systems and control systems.Body is the main base and implementing agency,including arm,wrist and hand,and some robots are even installed with a traveling mechanism.Most industrial robots have three to six degrees of motion,whereas the wrist usually has l to 3 degrees of motion.And their drive system includes a power plant and a transmission mechanism for causing the actuator to produce the corresponding action.In accordance with the programs input by people,the control system of the robot can send a command signal to the drive system and actuators,and realize the control.In simple terms,they are external mechanical,but the programs human set within them for certain situations with specific functions is their real"brain."
  These seemingly simplebut heavy industrial robots is the crystallization of human knowledge.They work diligently,tirelessly for humanity to accomplish many heavy work and successfully break through the limitations of human beings,thus greatly improving the level of social productivity and the quality of human life.
  To the 1990s,with the maturing of computer technology,microelectronic technology,network technology,the robot technology has witnessed rapid development.In addition to continuously improving the level of industrial robots outside,all kinds of advanced robotic systems for non-manufacturing sector has also made great progress.Whereas in recent years,many adorable,chic home robots gradually appeared in our daily lives.They are closer to human life,accompanying us day and night.
  Smart Clean Assistant Around Us
  Speaking of family robot that is the most widely popular with most applications,what we can never ignore is the mother's little housework helper:intelligent sweeping robot!   Sweeping robot,also known as automatic cleaning machine,intelligent vacuum cleaner,robot vacuum cleaner,with a certain degree of artificial intelligence,can automatically complete clean-up in the room.Usually,there are two brush whirlwind at its bottom,able to make the gathering cleaning hence the dust in the corners can easily been cleaned;its set of bi-brush can make garbage involved,so there is no pressure to deal with wastes of all sizes;in addition,its high-speed fan is capable of vacuuming,thus dust particles will never escape from detection;and finally,with a removable mop,the robot is invincible.Such combination of side brush,roller,vacuum and mop successfully imitates the steps of sweeping the floor,collecting the rubbish and mopping in common families.In this case,the robot not only reducesthe mothers' burden of cleaning,but also enhances the environmental quality of our daily life.The small and restless sweeping robot is indeed a good helper that housewives can not do without.
  Sweeping robots have entered many families,but it's still hard for us to connect it with robots of high intelligence.After the movie Big Hero 6,Baymax's loyal and cute image of family intelligent robot has caught many people's mind. Next,let's see those warm family robots able to accompany us and bring us happiness!
  Inventive and Helpfu
  This slightly larger"clumsy but cute"robot is the one designed to serve people with limited mobility,which is led by Professor Shigeki Sugano's research group in Japan's Waseda University.Although it is a bit bulky from appearance,its prominent feature is its pair of super-smart bionic robotic hands.
  Each robotic hand is been installed with 13 advanced sensors,which can complete a variety of human actions.To begin with, its the finger surface is made of soft silicone,similar to the human hands,whereas at the end of its fingertips,the sensors are basically close to human sensitivity;secondly,a number of sensors work together and have their own responsibilities,so that it can sense the surrounding environment and objects hence does the accurate implementation of the demand,such as delivering water, moving books,toasting bread,making your bed,or helping the elderly to get up and so on.If people
  with disabilities fall,it will timely
  help them up.As long as there is need to use the hand,whether it is sophisticated and deliberately,or heavy physical work,you can count on it!
  With a pair of dexterous manipulator,it helps care for the elderly or people with disabilities at home,and is with a super cute look!Such an intelligent robot willing to help others is doubtlessly an integral part of the family!   Hi,Do You Need a"butler"?
  This is a family butler robot with small figure but great wisdom.Different from Baymax,its figure is much closer to futuristic design in science-fiction.It was developed by the famous robot expert,pioneer of social robots,Cynthia Breazeal in MIT Media Lab,and it can get more perfectly integrated into our families.
  Like real humans,with two high-resolution cameras it recognizes a person's face,records it and never forgets;it has artificial intelligence algorithms,hence is able to record your life bit and remember your preferences,and then only do those things making you happy;of course,it can be connected via Bluetooth to your phone,computer,thus reading your personal information and remember your important arrangements and remind you timely like a family member.In addition,it also has a superb voice recognition as well as a voice networking search function.Through a 360 mini headphone and language programs,it can talk to you in any corner of the room;we can even communicate with it as if with humans.From time to time we joke with it and it will feed us back with a cold one.
  Having such a loyal friend accompany us,how come we don't treat it as a family member?
  Super Cute Family Member
  What a warm family portrait!In the middle is a lovely family emotion robot.Under its pure,pleasant appearance,is still a set of artificial intelligent electronic device made byelectronic circuits,sensors and processors.It consists of the fuselage built-in camera,audio frequency,infrared and thermal sensor,distance sensor,a thermometer and ground detection equipment,etc.It is because of these high-tech components that it can achieve a variety of humanoid functions.
  It is people's caring guardian,able to help look after the house,through sensors it can remotely monitor and send the fire alarm;it is the people's daily housekeeper for with its sensor connected to smart appliances at home,people only need to speak and tell it to turn on the TV,air conditioner,start the music or adjust the temperature,and it can help you control these appliances;in addition,it is a robot with cultural background since it can recognize multi-national languages and characters;the most important thing is it has a super cute face,capable of showing directly facial expressions like anger,sadness and joy,etc.,to us.
