Every day, we created new machines, robots, or equipment that are going to help us in our lives. We usually know that the robots cannot feel anything because they are made of steel; now, it is in the past because a group of students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology created a robot, Baxter, that can feel when it has an object between its hands. The new advances in robotics are making these robots more and more similar to us, and with this technology, they can start taking few jobs that they can do better than humans such as exploring new areas, creating structures on other planets, and being used in the medical field. A group of students at Georgia Institute of Technology is doing the similar project but with a different point …show more content…
This system of receiving feedbacks from what it is doing, makes the androids smarter because they can learn on their own. The group who created Cody gave it a few tasks to see what would happen, tasks such as grasping or making contact with a small ball. One experiment that they did with the robot was to put it in front of a tree trunk and see its reaction. Cody saw the tree, and it put its arm around the tree, and the android felt that it could not move the tree. Therefore, the robot gave up, and it tried to find a new way of moving around the tree and completed its task …show more content…
Space is enormous and damaging for all living beings, but for that reason, it is incredible, and we always want to know more about it. One solution for us how we can keep exploring new planets and also study the earth, water, rock, and sand on those planets is a humanoid robot. Mone explains that Baxter is the first robot of this kind, but it would not be the last because it can go to those planets first and see if we can live there. The article quotes the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in saying that, “robots with tactile feedback could be used to build structures on distant planets in advance of an astronaut crew’s arrival.” Besides, they could be used for medical reasons to help the astronauts if they get an injury during the exploration
