Robot assistants.

1. Robot artist-hooligan.

A robot invented to help painters. This robot, created by Japanese designers, can do only one thing - paint walls. To paint walls, the robot uses a dual fire nozzle mounted on a hinge and connected to a tank. There are several tanks and you can fill them with several shades of paint and the robot will apply them one by one to the surface to be painted. The robot moves using a chassis and an electric motor.

2. Robot fish.

A robot fish named Danio was created to monitor the composition of water and its purification, as well as to study the behavior of fish in their natural environment. Danio was developed at the British Institute of Physics. The design of the fish robot must be such that, while constantly in the aquatic environment, the work of the internal elements is in no way disrupted.

The robot fish has the appearance of a zebrafish, which is why it got its name. The robot is so similar to the Danio fish species that when she was placed in a company of fellow fish, they, in turn, could not understand that she was a robot and tried to nail her to the school. The robot is completely autonomous and can spend a long time in the water.

3. SCV - rescue robot.

A robot created by Japanese designers. Due to the fact that the Japanese islands are prone to devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, it is very difficult for rescuers to look for people under the rubble; robot designers have created a rescue robot to help them. The robot is equipped with video cameras and the ability to transmit images to a remote monitor.

In addition to cameras, the robot is equipped with two wheels and a guide track. The unusual thing about the robot is that its entire body is hidden in a solid leather casing, and the cameras are hidden under powerful glass. Thanks to this robot, there is no fear of dust, dirt, or water, which can damage its insides. At the moment, there is a small prototype of this robot, but it is known that in the future it is planned to turn the SCV (Slug Crawler Vehicle) into a massive machine that will help in searching for people.

4. AutoMee Robot Screen Cleaner. Little cleaner.

AutoMee Robot Screen Cleaner is a small robot that can keep your tablet clean. A small toy for $40 designed to wipe the screen of your tablet.

Thanks to this little helper, there will no longer be any dust or fingerprints on the screen of your tablet.

5. Vacuum robot cleaner.

Here's another little robot that will help you keep your desk clean. Everyone has already heard about the robotic vacuum cleaner, but we present to you its younger brother. If you often eat buns, cookies or other foods that crumble easily at your desk, then this small, vacuum robotic cleaner is just for you. He moves silently across the table and sucks in all the crumbs.

6. Robot for cleaning windows.

Having scoured the Internet, I realized that there are a great many such robots. Slightly smaller than robot vacuum cleaners. This robot will easily clean your dusty windows.

Due to the vacuum, the robot stays on the glass and thanks to it it does not fall down. The robot itself chooses the route along which it will be easier for it to bring your windows to shine. This pleasure will cost you about $600.

7. Robot gardeners.

Robotic gardeners from Harvest Automation. These robots are designed to help gardeners grow potted plants. In general, gardening robots do nothing except drag pots of plants from place to place, but for large greenhouses, where there are millions of pots, these robots are a great help. Considering that plants in pots need to be watered, fed, and trimmed, it turns out that moving them happens very often.

The gardener robot moves the pots to a given distance and places them at a distance from each other that is currently programmed into it. The parameters can be changed. To operate, the robot gardener only needs a magnetic tape attached to the floor, which helps it navigate in space.

8. Robot strawberry picker.

Another robot designed to make the work of gardeners easier. The strawberry picker robot, like most modern robots, was developed by a Japanese company. The two-meter robot is designed to work in special greenhouses. In Japan, they grow strawberries differently from us. Japanese strawberries grow in special greenhouses and to save space, there are multi-tiered racks inside the greenhouses, and strawberries grow on these racks.

The strawberry picker robot rolls along the racks and, using three cameras, assesses the ripeness of the berry, and with them it also determines the distance to the berry. After calculating the ripeness of the fruit and the distance to it, the robot cuts the berry into a tray using a mechanized gripper. According to the developers, the robot picker can pick strawberries at night, and the farmer, coming to work in the morning, only needs to check if any berries are hidden from the robot behind a leaf.

9. Robot flashlight.

Probably in the near future such robotic lanterns will roam the streets of all megacities of the world, but for now they have appeared only in Japan. The device is called Toro-bot and it looks like some kind of alien creature.

Infrared sensors built into the robot allow robots to navigate in space and detect the approach of a person. In addition, the robots also have beacons that help them recognize each other. Each robot can be customized individually and given its own line of behavior.

10. Robot porter.

A budgee porter who must follow his owner everywhere and carry his purchases. The robot has two wheels and a basket with a capacity of 22 kg. The robot does not have a navigation system, it simply tirelessly monitors its owner and follows on its heels everywhere. For this, the robot has a special ultrasonic transmitter.

There is also a special program for smartphones to configure the robot, where you can specify at what distance the budgee should roll. After you and your budgee have made purchases, you can pack it up and put it, for example, in the trunk.
