As the automotive industry faces constant challenges to increase productivity and reduce costs, companies Tesla and UBTECH Robotics are introducing revolutionary changes with the help of humanoid robots. Tesla, with the development of the Optimus robot, and UBTECH Robotics, with its Walker S robot in the Nio factories, promise a new era in production, where robots and humans together push the limits of what is possible. Humanoid robots are here and they will take your job.

Boston Dynamics presented the physical worker of the future - Project Atlas https://citymagazine.si/en/the-company-boston-dynamics-presented-the-physical-worker-of-the-future-project-atlas-2/ Fri, 20 Jan 2023 08:06:28 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=539667

Boston Dynamics, a renowned robotics company, is making waves in the industry with its advanced robotic systems. Founded in 1992 by a group of MIT professors, the company has been at the forefront of the development of cutting-edge robotics technology for more than two decades. This time they surprised us with a demonstration of the physical worker of the future. We can only imagine what production will look like in 10 to 20 years. There will no longer be migrants on construction sites - but robots.

Robotization has recently covered all areas of our lives. Still, it sounds pretty strange that strippers would be out-worked by robots. You read that right - this is also expected to happen soon.

Not long ago, we wondered what it would be like when robots started doing the most common jobs. Robotization has always had a slightly negative connotation in our conversations, as most people still fear it. Well, the fear may be unnecessary, as this concrete example also shows.

Remember the TV series You ran, M'Lord that entertained us in the 1990s? The amiable Alf Stokes was the butler who made sure everything was in order at Lord Meldrum's house. Butlers in human form are more or less a thing of the past. But this cannot be said about robots, as modern technology is increasingly concerned with making our lives more comfortable.

Kengoro: A humanoid robot that 'swirls' and does more push-ups than you https://citymagazine.si/en/kengoro-the-humanoid-robot-that-gives-and-does-more-push-ups-than-you/ Wed, 26 Oct 2016 06:00:26 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=video&p=264356

When muscles are used, heat is generated as a by-product of their operation. When we really exert ourselves, the body cools down by sweating. Sweating removes water from the body, and when the water evaporates, it cools us down. By evaporating, sweat removes a lot of heat from the body and thus participates in the regulation of body temperature. Robots, especially dynamic ones like the humanoid Kengoro, also generate a lot of heat due to their many motors and electronics, which is often the main problem of technological devices, as they tend to overheat, which reduces their capabilities. At Kengoro, the engineers have solved this so that if the robot is working at full steam and producing a lot of heat, the robot will 'heat' and thus dissipate the excess heat and consequently not overheat, so it can also do push-ups and do them as a joke more than you!

Soon our lives will be much easier. With the growth of artificial intelligence and technology, machines or robots are taking over more and more of our tasks. If on the one hand they are taking away our jobs, there is also another, more pleasant side of the coin. This page is SpotMini from Boston Dynamics, which has added a new member to its family of robots in the back, a robot dog, which is an upgrade of a robot dog named Spot from 2015. Why? Because, among other things, she is good at household chores!

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said that in the future, humans will be the pets of robots. Which, given the following, is still an optimistic scenario. And when we imagine the apocalypse, it doesn't usually start with an innocent game of ping pong, but the following footage of an Omron robot playing ping pong with humans and working to easily subdue not only its ping pong opponent but all of humanity suggests that we should also consider such a scenario.
