Intro: Robotics technology is becoming more prevalent in many industries around the world due to its ability to reduce operating costs, increase productivity, and improve product quality and consistency. Robotics companies are embedding artificial intelligence (AI) in machines to help businesses and their employees through automation in areas ranging from manufacturing to customer service.
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create technology that can simulate the operations of the human brain. The goal of applying AI to robotics is to advance innovation. Self-driving cars, autonomous drones, humanoid robots, and autonomous farming equipment are examples of intelligent machines. They use sensors, computer vision technology, machine learning, and other AI technologies to perform various tasks. The demand for AI-enabled robotics has driven significant growth in the industry. The following are top AI Robotics companies that help create smart consumer products to develop the first human-like artificial brain.
Boston Dynamics is best known for creating a line of dynamic, highly mobile robots known as BigDog, Spot, Atlas, and Handle. Spot has been commercially available since 2019, making Boston Dynamics' first commercially available robot. Boston Dynamics develops sensor-based controls that prepare robots for a variety of environments and terrains, with the goal of creating dynamic, intelligent, and adaptive robots.
Hanson Robotics develops artificial intelligence robots that not only look like humans but also behave like humans. These AI robots have life-like skin made of Hanson's proprietary nanotechnology known as Frubber, and they have human-like features such as eye contact, facial recognition, speech, and the ability to hold natural conversations. The robots are capable of producing high-quality expressions that provide a less mechanical robotic experience.
iRobot Corporation is a technology company based in the United States that designs and manufactures consumer robots. It was founded in 1990 by three members of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab who were working on space exploration and military defence robots. The company's products include a variety of self-cleaning vacuum cleaners 'Roomba', floor moppers 'Braava', and other self-cleaning devices.
Miso Robotics' technology is designed for use in commercial kitchens and is used to create AI robotic products for restaurants. Flippy, the company's cooking robot, has 3D and thermal vision, allowing it to learn from its surroundings and acquire new skills. Miso Robotics' Flippy can offset rising labour costs by automating activity around the fryer station. Miso also released Flippy 2, which can work an entire fry station and perform more than twice as many food prep tasks as the original Flippy.
Diligent Robotics employs artificial intelligence to create robotic assistants that assist healthcare workers with routine tasks. Moxi, the company's first robot teammate, works in hospitals to assist clinical staff with non-patient-facing tasks, giving them more time to focus on patient care. The Moxi robot can run patient supplies, deliver lab samples, retrieve items from the central supply, distribute PPE, and deliver medication, and it has a robotic arm that can navigate doors and elevators.
UiPath, arguably the market leader in robotic process automation, creates an enterprise software platform with tools for robot licencing, provisioning, scheduling, monitoring, and alerting. Its robots handle the tedious task of communicating between legacy apps, allowing developers to focus on new AI-oriented apps.
Skydio, a drone manufacturer, uses AI to develop technology for autonomous flight. The company's flagship products include the Skydio 2, an unmanned aerial device optimized for video and controllable via an app, a controller, or a beacon that can reach a speed of 36 miles per hour. The company offers solutions for a variety of industries, including public safety, defence, construction, and telecommunications.
The robots imagined by futurists in the 1950s were tin people who could walk and talk. Modern robots are rarely shaped like humans; the robots in Bossa Nova are tall vacuum cleaners. Bossa Nova began as a robotic toy manufacturer but now has full-scale robots in retailers such as Walmart. The robots move up and down the shelves, detecting inventory issues and saving money on human labour.
Running AI is extremely data-intensive; the more data, the better, so today's chipmakers, such as Intel and Nvidia, are stars. HiSilicon should be added to that list. The company developed the first AI chip for mobile devices. The chip performs tasks like high-speed language translation and facial recognition admirably.
Qualcomm, which manufactures highly capable smartphone chips, is driving the AI revolution by utilizing a signal processor for image and sound capabilities. Qualcomm acquired NUVIA, a competitive CPU and technology design firm, enhancing future CPU opportunities. Qualcomm is likely to remain a key driver of AI functionality in the critical consumer device market in terms of market size and power.
