& ldquo; everyone's asking, what can artificial intelligence do? but the real question is, what happens when artificial intelligence becomes an entity? ”

A major turning point has finally come in the narratives in the robotics sector, where capital has become focused, where narratives are more hot than ever and where more builders are emerging. But robotic technology (especially now integrated with artificial intelligence and Web3) is still in its early stages of development。

Before looking at the decentralised robotic economy, one basic question needs to be answered: What is a robot

Robots are programmable machines designed to perform specific tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously. They interact with the environment using sensors, implementers and control systems and adapt to different conditions as required。

in short, robots are like smart assistant toys. you tell it what to do, it'll remember. it has “ eyes & rdquo (known as sensors) to observe the surroundings, “ hands and feet & rdquo (known as removable components) and a “ brain ” helping it decide how best to do its work, such as cleaning, building, or even dancing alone or with your help。

Over the years, robotics have developed far beyond the mechanical arm of factories. Now, robots are in a variety of forms and uses。

The following is a classification of robotic technologies and their practical application。

1. Industrial robots

Industrial robots are automated machines for high-precision, repetitive work, such as welding, paint spraying, assembly and material handling. They are specifically designed to operate in a manufacturing environment and usually work in collaboration with digital control machines, conveyor belts and automated storage systems。

2. Artificial robots

Artificial robots are multi-articular robots that are shaped like human arms and sometimes exceed human arm capabilities. They can have up to ten rotational joints, with a high degree of flexibility, and can carry out complex campaigns in various directions. These robots are often used for assembly and sorting in the automobile industry and can also work in small spaces。

3. SCRA ROBOT

SELECTIVELY ADAPTED TO FIT MECHANICAL ARMS. THEY HAVE A UNIQUE MECHANICAL STRUCTURE CONSISTING OF TWO PARALLEL ARMS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO A JOINT AT A STRAIGHT ANGLE. THIS ALLOWS SCARA ROBOTS TO MOVE HORIZONTALLY, KNOWN FOR THEIR HIGH SPEED AND RELIABILITY. SCRA ROBOTS ARE OFTEN USED IN MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY PROCESSES SUCH AS PICK-UP AND PLACEMENT OPERATIONS。

4. Service robots

Service robots work in homes, hospitals, hotels, etc., and perform tasks ranging from cleaning floors to delivering parcels. They are intended to assist human beings, usually operating in a semi-autonomous or fully autonomous manner. These robots focus on practical practical world work rather than industrial applications. Some help with housework, some optimize logistics and some even provide customer services。

Example of service robot:

• Cleaning robots: Traditional Roomba is an example of how it can navigate autonomously and avoid barriers to clean floors。

• Distribution robots: These robots are used in warehouses, hospitals and even in food distribution services and can deliver goods efficiently without manual intervention。

• Medical robots: When precision is critical but human hands are not stable enough, medical robots work. These robots can really change life。

5. Detection of robots

Exploration robots designed for extreme environments help scientists and engineers to study places that are too dangerous or remote for humans. These robots must work under harsh conditions while collecting data that are essential for research and technological progress。

Examples of exploration robots:

• Mars detector: &ldquo of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); persistence ” and “ curiosity ” moving on the surface of Mars to analyse the soil and find signs of past life。

• Deep-sea submersibles: deep-sea submersibles such as Al symbol and the Sea God infiltrated deep-sea and found species and wrecks at depths beyond the reach of divers。

Human robots

Some robots not only do human work, but also resemble humans. Human robots mimic human actions, faces and even talk, and are therefore useful in client service, research and even company。

These robots are designed to be human-like, with arms, legs and sometimes weird facial expressions. They are often equipped with artificial intelligence that can understand languages, recognize emotions and interact naturally with people。

Example of human robot:

• ASIMO: DOUBLE-FOOT ROBOTS THAT CAN WALK, RUN AND EVEN PROVIDE DRINKS。

• Atlas: The cool robot developed by Boston Power is more like a superhero than an ordinary machine。

7. Education machines

SOME ROBOTS CAN BUILD CARS, OTHERS BUILD THINKING. BY GIVING STUDENTS FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE WITH PROGRAMMING, ENGINEERING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, PEOPLE MAKE STEM SUBJECTS MORE ATTRACTIVE (NOTE: INITIALS IN FOUR SUBJECTS: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS). THESE ROBOTS ARE SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR CLASSROOMS AND RESEARCH LABORATORIES TO TEACH PROGRAMMING, ROBOTICS AND PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS IN AN INTERACTIVE MANNER. THEY HELP STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND COMPLEX CONCEPTS WHILE PLAYING。

Example of teaching robots

• LEGO Mindstorms: A robotic package for beginners that allows students to build and program their own robots。

• NAO ROBOT: A HUMAN ROBOT USED IN THE GLOBAL CLASSROOM TO TEACH PROGRAMMING, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EVEN HUMAN INTERACTION。

8. Accompanying robots

Not all robots are designed for work, some for company. Compassing robots provides emotional support, entertainment and even therapy, and plays an important role in geriatric care, mental health and daily interaction. These robots aim at social or therapeutic interaction with human beings. They are equipped with artificial intelligence, facial recognition techniques, and sometimes even have soft casings like pets, making them more attractive。

Example:

• Paro: Machine seals, which help ease the pressure on hospitals and nursing homes。

• Lovot: A small, embraceable robot designed to create emotional ties with the owner。

9. Autonomous mobile robots

Autopilot cars are not a distant dream; they are travelling on roads, between warehouses and even delivering goods. Auto-driving vehicles (AVs) are unmanned using AI, cameras and sensors and become important players in transport, logistics and industry。

THESE VEHICLES CAN SENSE THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT AND MAKE THEIR OWN DRIVING DECISIONS WITHOUT HUMAN MANIPULATION. THEY RELY ON LASER RADAR, GPS AND REAL-TIME DATA PROCESSING TO RESPOND TO THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT。

Example:

• Auto-driving: Tesla, Waymo and others are promoting the use of fully auto-driving cars on public roads。

• Autopilot drones: for surveillance, delivery and even agriculture。

• Forklifts: The warehouses use them to move goods with very high accuracy。

10. Collaborative robots

Collaborative robots can work side by side with human security, dealing with repetitive tasks and allowing humankind to refocus on higher levels of activity. Unlike traditional industrial robots requiring safe cages, collaborative robots are equipped with sensors and limitations to prevent serious accidents。

Collaborative robots can share workspaces with humans and assist in manufacturing, assembly and even health care. They are easy to program and very flexible and are well suited to those companies that wish to automate without major infrastructure improvements。

Examples of collaborative robots:

• The Standard Bots RO1: The state-of-the-art six-axis collaborative robot for mechanical processors with first-class precision, artificial intelligence-driven automation and easy operation without programming. It's an all-power robot, and it's done all the work from numerically controlled machine-bed operations to fine assembly。

• UNiversal Robots UR series: The industry's most popular collaborative robot, known for its easy and flexible deployment。

• Sawyer of Rethink Robotics: It has a reputation for sophisticated work in the field of assembly and quality control。

11. Group robots

Group robots are small, independent robots that communicate and coordinate like hives, capable of handling complex tasks that individual machines cannot perform. These robots, inspired by ants, bees and birds, can move, adapt and solve problems collectively。

The core of group robots is quantity and teamwork. Instead of relying on a single leader, they follow simple rules to construct intelligent distributed systems. If a robot fails, the rest of the robot will continue to work。

Example of a robot with cluster capabilities

• Kilobots: Micro-research robots for collective behaviour and self-organization。

• RoboBees, Harvard University: Microflight robots designed to pollinate and search and rescue like bees。

• Festo's Bionic Ants: robotic ants working with group intelligence。

12. Soft robots

Soft robots reject rigid frameworks and adopt flexible and soft materials that enable them to stretch, bend and adapt to the surrounding environment. Biologically inspired, they move more like octopus and are well suited to deal with fragile objects and navigation in unpredictable environments. Soft robots do not use traditional electric machines and gears, but rather use air pressure, fluids and smart materials to change shapes and adapt to the environment。

Example of a soft robot

• Octobot: A fully-soft robot inspired by image works, designed to be flexible。

• Soft robots: For food treatment and medical applications, these require a soft touch。

• Festo Biosoft: A mechanical hand with a soft, self-adapted finger can capture objects like humans。

13. Nanoroids

Nanocy robots operate at a micro level so small that they can move in your blood or decompose contaminants at a molecular level. Although they sound like science fiction, they're coming closer to reality, especially in the fields of medicine and environmental science。

These super-micro machines are capable of performing quality work where precision is critical. Most are still in the research and development phase, but they have the potential to change areas ranging from drug delivery to industrial cleaning。

Example of nanobots (prototype and theory)

• DNA NANO-CYBORG: A MICRO-MECHANICAL MADE OF DNA CHAINS, CAPABLE OF DELIVERING DRUGS TO SPECIFIC CELLS LIKE A GPS NAVIGATION SYRINGE。

• Microbial robots: a conceptual nanorobots designed to move in blood and eliminate harmful bacteria。

• Environmental clean-up robots: Theoretical nanoroids can decompose pollutants in water and air at molecular levels。

14. Reconfigurable robots

Reconfigurable robots can change their shapes depending on the mission. Some modular robots are co-mingled like high-tech Lego blocks, while others can change shape without dismantling。

These deforming machines are performing well in situations where flexibility and adaptability are needed; moreover, they can be accomplished autonomously. In addition, their reconfiguration capacity makes them indispensable tools in many areas。

Example of reconfigurable robot

• Roombots: Transformable furniture robots that can collide into chairs, tables or whatever you need, and then regroup into new shapes。

• Molecubes: Cube-shaped robots that can reverse, rotate or even replicate themselves pave the way for machines that can build themselves。

• PolyBot: A modular miracle, crawling like a snake or forming a new shape, easily responding to rugged terrain。

15. Cartesian Robot

It's also called the Gantry robot, the Cartesian robot, which operates like a three-dimensional grid. Their flexibility provides precise control over linear movements. They are used to pick up and place jobs, numerically controlled processing and 3D printing。

Historically, robots have been designed to execute instructions. In the past, robots were like very good workers, doing nothing but what you told them. But it has evolved from mere action to real thinking。

Thanks to artificial intelligence, robots are beginning to move away from tools to teammates, and they start thinking, learning, adapting and collaborating。

The next evolution is not just mechanical, but cognitive. When artificial intelligence, robotic technology and Web3 are combined, new things come。

An economic entity that can work, think and trade on its own, this is OpenMind's use of force。

• Openmind combines robotic technology with AI cognitive and decentrized intelligence, redefining how robots learn, adapt and collaborate, by:

• Go to Central Cognitive Level: Openmind allows robots to safely access shared intelligence in a centralized network, rather than relying on centralized data islands. This means faster learning, safer coordination and more autonomous decision-making。

• Generic artificial intelligence integration: Openmind is creating a universal artificial intelligence for robots that can reason, plan and move beyond the evolution of pre-programme tasks。

• Robotics and Web3 Integration: By combining artificial intelligent robotics with block chain certification, Openmind ensures transparency, verifiability and interoperability between robotic ecosystems。

• Economic Advantages: Openmind has ushered in an era of robotic economy in which intelligent robots are able to provide services, perform tasks and even trade, opening new areas of machine-driven productivity。

Openmind works to build the brain of an intelligent machine, while XMAQUINA returns power to the public at the economic and ownership levels。

XMAQUINA IS A DAO WHOSE MISSION IS TO DEMOCRATIZE THE USE OF ROBOTS, HUMAN MACHINES AND PHYSICAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. DAO HOLDS A MULTI-ASSET BANK, INCLUDING INVESTMENTS IN PRIVATE ROBOTICS, REAL-WORLD ASSETS AND ENCRYPTED ASSETS。

XMAQUINA has one & ldquo; Machine Economy Start Board & rdquo; the idea is to enable developers and communities to create SubDao (a specific asset, DAO), jointly own specific machine assets or robotic companies, and manage the chain。

XMAQUINA IS WORKING TO ENGAGE THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY IN (GOVERNANCE, INVESTMENT, CO-OWNERSHIP) THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGIES AND PHYSICAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, RATHER THAN LIMITING THEM TO LARGE ENTERPRISES。

The development of robotics is not a one-off cycle. It is a combination of three of the most powerful forces today: artificial intelligence, automation and decentrization。

Traditional robots increase productivity and the next generation of robots will change labour, ownership and value creation. Those who understand this at the earliest will not only go along, but also help build a new machine economy. Narratives have arrived and infrastructure is being developed。
