Top 10 SECRET ADVANCED ROBOTS 2022

top-10-secret-advanced-robots-2022


From the home to the workplace, and  to the sky above, robots in 2022 are transubstantiating the world,

we know, and helping us understand the worlds we do n’t. 

Let’s highlight a few of these remarkable  machines and how they might transform not only how we interact with ourselves, but  also the universe around us.

So, the 10 most advanced robots at this moment!


1. Xenobots

Some lists like to end on a big and splashy entry but that’s not our style. We’re going to end  this video on the tiniest robot on our list.

But don’t let their size fool you, these little guys  could end up having a bigger impact on our lives 

than all the other robots on this list combined.

Meet the Xenobots, living, programmable organisms!

Xenobots are synthetic organisms made from  embryonic stem cells of the African clawed frog 

(Xenopus laevis),

hence the name — Xenobots.

how you define a robot,

Xenobots aren't the C3PO archetype you're visioning,

but they are undeniably machines. They are created 

by computers to perform specific functions. 

Individually, they can complete simple tasks,

but the real potential for Xenobots is  their ability to cooperate with each other to perform more complex undertakings.

Scientists envision Xenobots as a means to  deliver medication to specific parts of  the body,

scrape plaque from arteries, 

and could even be used at scale for environmental  remediation like removing plastics from the ocean. 

And since Xenobots are organic cells, they  are not pollutants or toxins.

Once their job is diligently completed and they exhaust their  available nutrients, they simply biodegrade in the environment like all living cells.

So far Xenobots  have been taught to walk, swim, push pellets, carry payloads,

and work together in a swarm to  aggregate debris scattered along the surface of a dish into neat piles.

We are just at the  inception of this incredible technology but  it’s safe to say, you will be hearing more  about these little guys in the years to come.

 

 

2. British Loyal Wingman

If we are integrating robots into our kitchens, 

our bodies, and sending them into space, it  makes perfect sense the military is getting in on the action too.

The British government  recently announced plans to build a prototype 

loyal wingman-type unmanned aircraft by  2023, with Spirit AeroSystems winning the 

$41 million contract to design the new fighter. We’ve had unmanned drones in military operations 

for decades now, but this new generation  will be faster, smarter, and more autonomous. 

The loyal wingman is intended to provide  the human pilots who fly alongside it 

with additional protection, intelligence, and  enhanced survivability odds during missions.



3. Vicarious Medical Robot 

According to Allied Market Research, the robotic surgery market is worth approximately  $90 billion.

It’s no surprise that there are many 

exciting new companies springing up to capitalize  on the market size and the untapped potential of 

integrating new technologies like virtual  reality and 5G wireless into healthtech.

One of those exciting new companies is Bill  Gates backed Vicarious Surgical. Having raised ,

$ 40 million, Vicarious Surgical’s charge is to transport surgeons inside the case to perform,

minimally invasive surgery using personal mortal-suchlike surgical robots and virtual reality.

 

4. Guardian XO Exoskeleton

If you’ve ever dreamed of an Ironman power suit of your own,

Sarcos Robotics should  be on your radar.

Although you can’t shoot laser beams out of your hands or fly on rockets in your  feet,

Sarcos’s Guardian XO Exoskeleton bestows us mere mortals with the power of superhuman  strength — at least until the battery runs out.

Able to enhance human strength up to 20X  (with a maximum lift of 200lbs),

the Guardian  XO Exoskeleton has applications across dozens  of industries.

Everything from manufacturing,  warehouses, and defense are looking to integrate  exoskeletons into their operations.

And with a  lease price of $100K per year,

it looks like the  science fiction promise of exoskeletons might finally be a reality.

The Guardian XO full- body exoskeleton is the world's first battery-powered artificial robot to combine mortal intelligence,

instinct,

and judgment with the power,

endurance,

and precision of machines.

Set to transfigure the way work gets done,

the Guardian XO artificial exoskeleton augments driver strength without confining freedom of movement to boost productivity while dramatically reducing injuries.

Born of a fundamental need to safely enable humans to be more productive,

while significantly reducing the threat of occupational injury.

Uniquely suited for safer,

more productive  manufacturing/assembly,

construction, field service,

and warehouse/logistics use cases. 

 

 

5. Atlas by Boston Dynamics

We have yet another entry in this 

list from the amazing minds at Boston Dynamics —  Atlas,

the world’s most dynamic humanoid robot. 

The Atlas disaster- response robot made its public debut on 11 July  2013,

in the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC). Back  then, Atlas was a bruiser, coming in at 6’2”, 

weighing 330lbs, and tethered to an  external power supply and computer system.

Since then, Atas has evolved into something more  like a ballet dancer. Measuring a little less 

than 5’ and weighing 187lbs,

Atlas has near human  articulation and is capable of operating without a tether.

And we would be remiss not to mention  that Atlas also has some pretty sick dance moves.

 

6. Digit by Agility Robotics

 

Staying in the vein of robots designed for industrial applications,

Digit, made by  Agility Robotics is a vaguely human-shaped robot, albeit missing a head.

Packed with sensors  and two arms and two legs,

Digit is capable of navigating complex environments that  other robot laborers would struggle with. 

So basically it is a humanoid robot  designed to move in a more dynamic fashion than regular robots do.

It has nimble limbs  and a torso packed with sensors that will allow it to navigate complex environments  and carry out tasks like package delivery.

Able to walk, run, or climb stairs — and with the  relatively modest price tag of $250K —

Digit is shaping up to be a major contender in the  race to automate workplace manual labor.

 

7. Spot by Boston Dynamics

 

If robotic kitchens and butlers appeal to you, 

then how about a robot dog? Boston Dynamics, 

a company that cannot be ignored when talking  about robotics, developed the multipurpose robot dog Spot.

Spot isn’t really intended to be a  personal pet. With a base price tag of $74.5K, 

Spot is meant for industrial purposes.

Spot can  get into tight squeezes in mines or construction sites and areas that might be dangerous for human  inspectors.

But if you are looking for a pet robot dog,

Unitree offers a similar offering to Spot  at a greatly reduced size and price.

Coming in at little under $10K, Unitree Robotics A1 could  be your new loyal companion,

with significantly less doggy mess to clean up.

Developed by Boston  Dynamics, Spot is a four-legged robot designed to be rugged and customizable.

It’s well suited for unshaped surroundings and is completely able of climbing stairs and covering rough terrain.

Weighing about 32.5 kg, it avoids obstacles, 

performs a large number of  programmed tasks.

Spot can go where humans cannot!

Spot’s protean capabilities are adding value in wide variety of operations, 

in dangerous ornon-hazardous areas ( powers, construction, manufactories …), including

✓ Remote sensing and inspection

 ✓ Construction and environmental monitoring

✓ Site documentation and data collection

✓ Leak discovery (radiation, gas, canvas, water …)

 

8. Toyota’s Robotic Butler

 

If a robotic kitchen and a Roomba aren’t enough, 

the brilliant minds at Toyota Research Institute  (TRI) have you covered. Inspired by Japan’s aging population,

engineers at TRI conceived of building  a home designed to operate a robotic butler. 

It can do everything from cleaning  surfaces to gently opening a drink for you.

The downside of this design is  that the robotic butler requires scaffolding on the ceiling or walls of  every room the robot will operate in. 

They are working on developing a robot butler  that can function without scaffolding but it will suffer from the same mobility issues with  stairs and obstacles that other home robots have. 

While building your home with scaffolding for a  hanging robot may not be the most aesthetically pleasing design,

it does offer hope to our aging  population that they can remain living in their own homes for longer,

 with a robotic butler on  24-hour standby for whatever they might need.

 

9. Moley the Robotic Chef

Let’s come down from the stars above  and look at something a little closer to home  — your kitchen.

Meet Moley, the world’s first fully robotic kitchen.

While Moley is a far cry  from the magic of food replicators in Star Trek, 

it might be the next best thing. With two robotic arms, 

Moley will cook complete meals for you,  tell you when ingredients need replacing, 

suggest dishes based on the ingredients  you have available, learn what you like, 

and even tidy up kitchen surfaces if it makes a  mess.

 

Moley also comes in a lighter version that lacks robotic arms but offers touch screens, smart appliances, and a recipe database.

For this setup, the price tag is a modest $135K.

For  the full setup with robotic arms,

because of course that’s what everyone wants, 

you’re looking to pay in the range of $340K.

 

 

 

 

10. Mars Perseverance & Ingenuity

Mars is a planet exclusively populated  by robots.

The 2 editions to the Martian robot family are,

NASA’s new  rover Perseverance,

and it’s remarkable cargo — the Mars Helicopter,

Ingenuity. Perseverance will have a familiar look to many, 

given the popularity of earlier Martian rovers  like Opportunity, Spirit,

 and Curiosity to name a  few.

Packed with sensors, drills, and collection  tools,

Perseverance is a technological marvel, 

but Ingenuity represents something altogether  different.

Imagination will be the first manmade object to attempt flight in the ultrathin Martian atmosphere.

The technology that Ingenuity is testing has the implicit to take us places indeed the topmost of rovers could noway conjure of.
