Maid Bots
Welcome to Maid Bots. Many domestic robots are used for basic household chores, such as the Roomba vacuum cleaner robot. While most domestic robots are simplistic, some more complicated ones are connected to WiFi home networks or smart environments and are autonomous to a high degree. Today, there are an estimated 5 million service robots in use, which is 5 times as many as industrial robots found in manufacturing applications over the world.
Given that in the next two decades robots will be capable of replacing humans in most manufacturing and service jobs, economic development will be primarily determined by the advancement of robotics. With Japan’s current strength in this field, it may well become the economic leader in the next 20 years. A favorite author, Marshall Brain, has for years discussed the emergence of robomediation, sometimes called the robotic economy. Besides ushering in artificial intelligence, he also believes that the robotic economy will also prove very disruptive to employment rates, requiring innovative solutions to keep making it possible for people to acquire money.

Japan – The New Birthplace of Robots
From Toys to Tech, Why Japan is a Robot’s Number One
Japan is the country that gave the world giant robots, small robots and human sized robots. From the fictional Mobile Suit Gundam to the small tea-making robot maid, Japan’s robotics technology has been pushing the limits of our minds and imagination. Just this July 2009, Japan has unveiled a giant life sized model of the fictional robot RX-78-2 Gundam at Tokyo’s Odaiba park. This structure is not a robot, but is a model of one. This is a testament to the nation’s dedication and fondness for the field of robotics.
In recent years, automobile manufacturers Honda and Toyota have been in research and developing humanoid robots. Asimo, Honda’s robot, is more popularly known and has become the icon of robotics in this day and age. Asimo is able to carry items, walk, sprint a little and jump all while staying on its two feet. It is also equipped with sensors for detecting and identifying people, and has excellent control of its hands, allowing it to hold both fragile and heavy objects.
