Sophia's internals. Sophia was first activated on Valentine's Day, [9] February 14, 2016. [2] The robot, modeled after the Ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, [10] Audrey Hepburn, and its inventor's wife, Amanda Hanson, [1] [11] is known for its human-like appearance and behavior compared to previous robotic variants.
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a form of business process automation that is based on software robots (bots) or artificial intelligence (AI) agents. [1] RPA should not be confused with artificial intelligence as it is based on automotive technology following a predefined workflow. [2]
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to robotics: . Robotics is a branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
Hanson was born on December 20, 1969, in Dallas, Texas, United States.He studied at Highland Park High School for his senior year to focus on math and science. As a teenager, Hanson’s hobbies included drawing and reading science fiction works by writers like Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick—the latter of whom he would later replicate in android form.
Modular self-reconfiguring robotic systems or self-reconfigurable modular robots are autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology. Beyond conventional actuation, sensing and control typically found in fixed-morphology robots, self-reconfiguring robots are also able to deliberately change their own shape by rearranging the connectivity of their parts, in order to adapt to new ...
Webots is a free and open-source 3D robot simulator used in industry, education and research.. The Webots project started in 1996, initially developed by Dr. Olivier Michel at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland and then from 1998 by Cyberbotics Ltd. as a proprietary licensed software.
A reference model architecture is a canonical form, not a system design specification. The RCS reference model architecture combines real-time motion planning and control with high level task planning, problem solving, world modeling, recursive state estimation, tactile and visual image processing, and acoustic signature analysis.
The Sofie surgical robot was developed as part of the Ph.D. work of ir. Linda van den Bedem on the improvement of existing surgical systems. The surgical systems commercially available as of September 2010 (such as the da Vinci Surgical System) all focus on translating movements made by a surgeon at a surgical console into movements by robot arms.
