Useful Robots for Your Daily Needs
Life would be a lot easier with these robots helping you.
Most of us have seen dozens of movies that describe the future as a place where humans make robots to help on their daily routine. They showed that these robots become extremely useful and some of them have even become best friend to some human.
These days, some factories have started to produce robots for human daily needs. Several type of these robots might be extremely expensive to most people but some simple robots are affordable by most people. Of course, the differences of the expensive robots and the cheap one are very great and the expensive one features more useful and cool abilities.
Here are the list of the useful robots that you could get :
iRobot Scoova
Type : Cleaner

Although this robot is small, it can help us save a lot of time in cleaning. This robot features a scheduler and will automatically explore and clean up to 500 square feet of lane.

Final Words
There are several movies like Terminator who describe the robot as a dangerous thing that will eventually attempt to exterminate the human. Such situations might happen but only if a human develop a robot that could mostly think like a human. Asimo and other robots are not that advanced – yet. They’ll only act the actions that are programmed into their mind so they’ll never attempt to do unusual things. There’s no announced news that tells this kind of advanced robot is under development, so only times will tell.

@Martie : I wish the same too. Although it’s not that fast, Asimo can do cleaning, cooking, or even greeting guests. But of course, the price is extremely expensive.
Avaxier, posted this comment on Oct 21st, 2009
@CA Johnson : The only robot that’s possible to do both thing is Asimo. There’s a rumor that there’s a female android who could do it all available for sale. However, this cannot be confirmed until now.

Wow very well put together and researched. They sound like they could be very handy.

Look at that Guard robot, it can kill human easily with a single shot. Anytime soon it will turn against human and will attempt to exterminate us all. Producing a robot is a VERY BAD IDEA and I’m very sure that we’ll find out about it sooner or later.
Avaxier, posted this comment on Oct 21st, 2009
Melly, as I’ve mentioned in the article, these robots are completely harmless for now. They don’t have a complicated mind like the sci-fi movies described them.
As long human can control it, I think making a robot is a good idea to help in our daily life.

Are we so lazy that we can’t serve a cup of coffee? That’s so lazy.
Avaxier, posted this comment on Oct 21st, 2009
Haha, yes.. some people are actually like that. Of course, the intention to make this robot is actually to help people for their daily needs. That way the owner will have more time to do productive thing, such as writing.
Thank you for your opinion, Ruby!

Another very well crafted article, my friend. I hope robots will never rule the world though…(lol)

I like the movie iRobot…talking about ghost bits of codes which can group together and cause malfunctions.
I think we should be more scared about Human/robot hybrids or Nanobots (looong way off) because they would have higher potential than humans…and in the wrong hands kill all of us.

wow. great inventions.
Avaxier, posted this comment on Oct 22nd, 2009
@Francois : Lol, don’t worry.. these robots are not capable to think like human – yet. Maybe few decades from now, such robots will be invented, we’ll just see.
Avaxier, posted this comment on Oct 22nd, 2009
@kingryanv : That’s possible to happen. Just like you said, a robot hybrid will be unlikely to be produced in these few decades. Until now, there’s no plan to produce it since they’re focusing on making a robot from solid metal. So, I don’t think we’ll live long enough to see Robot Hybrids control the world.
