What is Artificial Intelligence?

A machine can perceive its environment by using one or several sensors built into it. These sensors include microphones, cameras, distance sensors, and air or soil sampling devices. The machine then responds to its environment by marking quick calculations and decisions based on the data collected.

About PaPeRo…Cute on the outside, clever on the inside,

friendly robots could be the home helpers of the futures. Built-in microchips enable them to recognize and talk to you, and help wit the house with the housework. Robot helpers may soon be used to care for sick, disable, or elderly people. They could make basic health checks and call doctors in an emergency.

PaPeRo the robot helper

One example of a robot helper is the partner-type Personal Robot or Personal Robot or PaPeRo, which was developed by the Japanese company NEC. An excellent application of artificial intelligence, this is how the robot works.

What is PaPeRo…

PaPeRo speaks with the friendly voice and small, colored light shine to show it is happy.

This is how the robots

work

1. Head swivels around to face the person talking or moving.

2. The robot recognized 650 phrases and 3,000 words. It is programmed to answer questions made up of these words and phrases.

3. PaPeRo can sense obstacles. Ultrasonic sensors detect when something is in robot’s way. By sending out high -pitched squeaks beyond the range of human hearing, PaPeRo can listen for echoes to tell whether objects lie ahead. Inside the robot is a heavy spinning wheel called a gyroscope. This helps it to balance.

4. Wheels can turn opposite ways to make it swivel on the spot.

5. The robot hears where noises are coming from because it has powerful microphones turn words into pulse of electricity, a microchip reads the electricity as digital information, and a voice recognition system deciphers the meaning of the words.

6. Instead of eyes the robot has twin digital cameras. These are programmed to look for faces, it looks for any familiar features. If it recognized someone, the lights around the cameras turn orange.

7. If the robot touched, sensors on top of its head detect the pressure. These sensors can even tell the difference between a pat and a stroke. Other sensors in the body detect when the robot is picked up.
