Does this photo give you the creeps? Why are bionic robots and Boston's power robots so flexible? Just like a machine is given life, even the Tesla robot just released some time ago is hard to match. After all, the starting point is different. Robots from Boston Dynamics are dedicated to future battlefield applications. Most other manufacturers are used in civil applications. Their robot has been able to complete all kinds of unimaginable actions, such as Atlas, which can complete a series of actions such as jumping, rotating and backflip, and can stand well after each action, just like a gymnast. In order to make robots play a better role in the battlefield, Boston Dynamics has created and tested many biped and quadruped robots for many years, among which the most representative robot is the LS3 Big Dog Robot of Leg Team Support System, which is a militarized version of Big Dog. This durable robot is used to work in hot, cold, humid and various dirty environments. Under extreme combat conditions, it can keep balance when carrying heavy objects, so it is purchased in large quantities by the US Army as a marching weapon for the detachment. "Spot Mini" absorbed the experience learned by Boston Dynamics in developing "Big Dog" and "LS3" and installed them into an all-electric quadruped robot dog. This enables it to be used for various civil and industrial purposes.
Robots can be the product of advanced comprehensive cybernetics, mechatronics, computers, materials and bionics. At present, it has important applications in industry, medicine and even military fields.
European and American countries believe that robots should be computer-controlled and multi-functional automatic machines that can be changed through programming, but Japan does not agree with this statement. The Japanese believe that "robot is any advanced automatic machine", including the kind of manipulator that needs one person to operate. So many Japanese people's concept of robots is not defined by Europeans and Americans.
Now, the international concept of robot has gradually approached the same. Generally speaking, people can accept that robots are machines that realize various functions by their own power and control ability. The United Nations Organization for Standardization adopted the definition of robot given by the American Robotics Association: "Programmable multifunctional manipulator for handling materials, parts and tools; Or specialized systems with variable and programmable actions to perform different tasks.
