TOP robots and technologies of the future. The coolest robots in 2021

robots technologies and companies that have achieved outstanding results in 2020 these are worth keeping an eye on in 2021 let's see the top robots in different categories from the coolest and most dangerous to the weirdest and most unusual robots like this video and let us know what are your top projects in the comments [Music] let's start off the top with the weirdest amateur robotics projects this year we had a lot of fun with michael reeves and his homegrown robotic surgeon controlled by hand movements this project is too far from being useful so it's going to be in last place for our top series shane whitens project looks a bit more interesting this haircutting robot really does its job though not very well yet but shane plans to develop the project and add spot coloring to it as well as well as making options for animals and that's going to be second place and in first place is takashi kabuki and his challenge to build a running robot in 100 days from scratch starting with the most rudimentary designs tekashi has consistently explored every aspect of the robot's movement and continues to improve it to this day today marks the 172nd day now let's look at some unusual professional projects and the first will be the world's largest robot the gundam at 18 meters high and weighing 25 tons the robot with 24 degrees of freedom is driven by electric motors and controlled by the azratec v cyto operating system another amazing project was the disney research robot with realistic facial expressions this robot's animatronic torso reacted to its surroundings accurately reproducing the facial reactions of the robot's given character disney research is actually working on a lot of very interesting projects and it's been fun watching them work we think they'll be able to surprise us in 2021 in 2020 we finally saw the long-awaited release of the commercial version of moley robotic chef whose exciting announcements have been stirring up the internet for years the real prototype differs greatly from the graphics but still looks really good and functional the owner can choose one out of five thousand dishes and the robot will cook it completely by itself the only flaw is the exorbitant price of about 335 thousand dollars but the manufacturer promises to make the robot cheaper when it goes into mass production the first customer will get their hands on moley this year the robot has a competitor though the samsung bot chef introduced at ces 2020 but we haven't heard anything about it since then which of these unusual projects is best and we'll leave it up to you to decide vote down in the comments oh and subscribe to the channel there's many more reviews of the coolest robots ahead it's time for a hot top of the coolest robots of 2020. what do you think is worthy of the robot of the year title [Music] boston dynamics robot spot which proved the company's commercial potential and managed to enter not only the construction and oil and gas sectors as well as visual inspection and data collection but even into the space sphere becoming the basis for nasa's project to launch robot dogs for mars exploration more than 400 robots have been sold to date we've talked about this at length in other issues so if you want to learn more click the card above the digit robot is the world's first commercial humanoid robot from agility robotics this robot with a lidar instead of a head and stereo cameras on its torso is capable of navigating in space walking across rough terrain and climbing ladders and carrying weights up to 18 kilograms the price has not yet been disclosed but the amount is known to be in the six figures the company received 20 million dollars last year which means investors believe digit is in demand the atlas robot noted this year not only for its mind-blowing dancing but also for the fact that it's begun to learn new moves and much faster engineers at boston dynamics used to prescribe the robot's behavior literally line by line now atlas is learning quickly in simulations if you want to know more about this one in a future episode put a plus sign in the comments and share this video another contender is toyota's home robot which is interesting by the way it can move around your house it literally hangs from the ceiling appearing only when it's needed personally we're sure that at least some of the homes in the future will be built with such robots in mind because well it's convenient and the last contender for robot of the year is not only the most affordable but very advanced robot and that is dog from unitary a1 the robot can carry loads weighing up to 5 kilograms and can walk at speeds of more than 3 meters per second on one charge alone the robot weighing 12 kilograms and standing 40 centimeters tall can work from one to two and a half hours a1 gets its information about the environment through two cameras transmitting high definition video to a human operator and currently the price is less than ten thousand dollars but we're partial we still think spot is the robot of the year it's the undisputed leader in terms of attention media coverage and applications our compilation of the top robots would not be complete without military robots and in the main trend here's the robot swarm technology for example rime metal introduced a wolf pack of robot tanks the autonomous swarm moves and identifies targets using a camera system and artificial intelligence while the decision to fire is going to be made by a human operator reconnaissance robots can also carry kamikaze drone launchers drone swarms in the sky are also relevant as the development of robotic pilots and artificial intelligence capable of controlling combat aircrafts and helicopters an example is the darpa alias project which is a system consisting of robotic pilots a voice interface and software alias can easily be installed on any active us army helicopter by adding lidar and cameras the trained artificial intelligence system that will be able to control aircraft and engage in closed air combat is the future and being developed by darpa called air combat evolution the neural network system should be faster and more efficient than humans it's expected to be tested in 2024 but the most interesting announcement from the sphere of military robots is a project that can be followed for the next 15 years and that's the future fighter tempest of the uk ministry of defense this sixth generation autonomous jet fighter is invisible to the enemy will be armed with hypersonic and directed energy weapons built-in artificial intelligence will be able to control a swarm of slave drones and share important information with other combat robots and that is first place if you want to learn more check out the link in the card [Music] the next best robots are robots that have already replaced humans the three significant 2020 categories include waymo's most advanced drones to date already operating a cab service in arizona without a pilot in the cab next up is delivery robots seeking to replace couriers and make deliveries contactless the 2020 robocourier of the year was starship robots 70 of which delivered groceries to healthcare workers during the lockdown in total the roomy robocouriers designed to travel at six and a half kilometers per hour on sidewalks have traveled more than 200 000 kilometers in 20 countries and more than 100 cities around the world making more than 20 000 food and package deliveries and also sharing the robot red zone is medical robots we give them first place because they're a perfect example of where and how robots should be used disinfector robots drug transporting robots test collecting robots and robots for the remote presence of doctors all kept people safe from the dangers of the 2020 covid19 pandemic the leader for example among disinfector robots is the danish company uvd robots for the best robots in the fight against the pandemic see the issue in the description from the robots against covid19 [Music] the most innovative robotic companies also can't be overlooked and among them contenders for the company of the year are boston dynamics or hyundai which both brought the coolest robot developers in the world from this deal we expect a new phase in the company's robot development and at the very least the introduction of handle the warehouse robot to the market and with possible contract to produce apple autonomous cars hyundai could become the leader in robotics geek plus deployed more than 10 000 of its autonomous mobile robots around the world in 2020 and launched robo shuttle system for multi-level warehouse automation allowing it to deliver goods right into the hands of a human from anywhere in the warehouse from up to 5 meters but most importantly and interesting the company has opened a factory that uses its robots to create new robots sarcos robotics was the first company to commercialize the guardian xo full body exoskeleton for industrial use the exoskeleton can help people lift between 15 and 90 pounds and reduce their risk of injury it's designed to be worn for an entire shift and can last up to 8 hours on a single charge the military is currently also considering using an exoskeleton the boston-based company vicarius combines a virtual reality with robotics in its development of a tiny surgical robot with cameras and human hand proportions that can enter the patient's abdomen through a small incision the surgeon can then perform a surgery using vr controls that recreate what the robot centers see inside the body and finally there's the chinese company ub tech to them we're gonna give first place because they on one hand continue to believe in personal robots and develop their project of home humanoid robot walker and on the other hand keep their hands on the pulse of events and create useful robots for service and medicine industries such as aimbot and adibot as well as the robot cruiser already working in hospitals and easyhome the largest chinese network of repair products and the company is consistently updating its line of children's kits so they can learn robotics as well separately we want to highlight the robotics of company of the year in russia promobot by opening an office in the u.s and registering a company in hong kong promo bot quickly adapted to life in the face of the coronavirus pandemic developed and began delivering its and disinfection robots thermal control terminals with face recognition and humanoid robot administrators to companies and institutions for the next year motorica company has best chances to be nominated the socially significant project which develops affordable and functional prosthesis devices for children and adults received ce marking back in may allowing its products to be supplied to the european union in 2021 the company plans to fully enter the eu market and it's a great achievement for such an important and really good project you
