The future is here: Amazing robots that cook, clean and carry your stuff
Did you ever watch “The Jetsons” and wish the robotic maid Rosey was real? She was responsible for many household tasks, including cleaning, cooking and caring for the family — George, Jane, Judy, Elroy and their pet dog Astro. And boy, oh boy, Rosie was built.
Today, robots build cars, sort packages and organize warehouses. We have household robot helpers, including vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers. There are also toys … remember Furby? Creepy little guy.
Here are some robots that you may not know about. Until now:
To the rescue
Atlas can lift heavy weights, run, open doors, backflip, jump and even do Parkour. It’s designed to aid emergency services in search and rescue operations and function in environments where humans can’t survive. Think fires. Think warzones.
Holey Moley
Moley is a kitchen bot chef. It mimics the movements of human hands and can do delicate tasks like cracking an egg. Moley even cleans up after itself. I’ll let that sink in.
This bot’s got moxie
Moxi was big at the start of the pandemic, delivering medication, PPE, patient comforts and other supplies. It can open elevator doors, but it needs to ask a human to press a button for the floor it needs to go to. Awh.
Microscopic doctors
Antibacterial nanorobots are tiny self-propelled bots that deliver medication right to the infection. They do this by mimicking a bacteria and its target, then trapping it in nanowire mesh. Is that you, Spider-Man? Incredible stuff.
This one really sucks
BugVacuum is a self-propelled vacuum cleaner that sucks up insects while autonomously navigating between crops on farms. Farmers only have to get it to the starting point and set it to auto mode. The bot is ideal for clearing out insecticide-resistant pests. Sure beats a fly swatter.
Seriously sweet
Robear is a back-saving teddy bear-shaped robot that lifts disabled or older patients from their beds into a wheelchair. Its soft, cushioned body is designed to be gentle on the patient’s skin while providing maximum support.
Your personal pack mule
Gita Bot is a rolling robot that follows you around, carrying up to 40 pounds of whatever you need. Thinking groceries, luggage and tools. The name “Gita” is inspired by the Italian word “giro,” which means “turn” or “round trip.” No impasta here!
