What is a Robot?
Robots are electro-mechanical devices that can be programmed to perform a task or are equipped with computer programs that allow them to move autonomously. Robots have physical abilities just like living things. In this way, they can imitate the movements of living things.
Today, robots are mostly used in industrial areas. Industrial robots can be devices that are equipped with computer programs to be used for a specific purpose or that function with the use of an operator. These robots can assemble various parts together, keep a production line running, and perform tasks that can be performed with long-term experience, such as welding and painting operations, in a short time and without errors.
Today, in addition to industrial use, the use of robots in homes is also increasing. Autonomous robot vacuums that sweep the floors by themselves by scanning the environment are in great demand by people. In addition, social robots equipped with artificial intelligence have also started to be used by people at home.
Robots are produced for many fields and purposes in robotic technologies. One of the most complex and laborious productions in these fields is the production of social robots. Okay but why?
What is a Social Robot?
Studies on robots are mostly carried out in laboratory environments, but it is not possible to plan in advance what will happen in daily life.
Social robots are robots that constantly scan the environment, react simultaneously, and adapt to their environment. Therefore, the development of social robots is much more difficult than the development of robots programmed for a specific purpose.
Social robots need to be equipped with a free and independent decision-making mechanism against the events they encounter in daily life. When a social robot enters a new environment, it immediately decides on the reactions from its environment, the environment, the surface shapes, the ambient light, the creatures and objects around it.
Social robots can interact with their environment, answer questions and follow orders.
Social Robot Production in Turkiye
One of the first robots that comes to mind when talking about social robots in Turkey is Mini Ada, produced by Akınrobotics, which is completely made in Turkiye. Mini Ada can serve and help in many areas.
You are invited to the Istanbul robot museum to meet Mini Ada, which is produced entirely locally!
