The Development of Autnomous Robots

What do you call a race between lots of transformers? A megathon. Autonomous Robots are being introduced to the average human as a robot that can potentially save the world. Unlike children, most adults do not believe that robots will be applicable to them in the future. The development of autonomous robots have transformed all the way from the Exoskeleton, low autonomy, Roomba, high autonomy on lower scale, Aismo, high autonomy on a medium scale, to a self-automated driving car, high autonomy on a larger scale. Engineers have developed traits SPECIFIC TRAITS that enable autonomous robots to interact with humans.

Autonomous robots range from military drones, remote-controlled pilotless aircraft, to the Octavia robot that mimics every facial movement. According to Autonomous Robots, autonomous robots are defined as “intelligent machines capable of performing tasks in the world by themselves, without explicit human control over their movements.” Autonomous robots are designed to last for extended periods of time, and be able to think, sense, and act in any environment. There are some elements that are needed for an autonomous robot: pneumatics, hydraulic actuators, electromagnetic actuators, stepper motors, vision, touch, linkages, and sensors (Bekey 55-67). Although there is a variation of material used for each specific robot, the commonality among all is are the elements being used to make a robot.(READ ON MORE ABOUT ROBOTICS AND WHAT GOES INTO A ROBOT) IF NEEDED

Human Robot Interaction (HRI) has recently emerged in today’s world, and has increasingly gained interest from researchers. An autonomous robot can be seen as a replacement for a common object or can take us places we have never been before. According to the article “...

...t car was the T car from Ford. Ford promoted his cars with his infamous slogan, “you can have any color that you want if its black.” Since then, cars have be exponentially grown with several advances. Google started promoting an autonomous car, which physically removes the driver from the steering wheel to a hand-free driving car. This can bring a lot of controversy
