Some people who like robots believe that without doubt SF films will come true. In such belief of ours, with development of science, machines are becoming smarter and smarter. These machines can be found easily in our daily lives or will be made soon. These are intelligent robots, smart phones, etc.'Asimo' developed by Honda is a humanoid robot that can walk erect for the first time. It can go up and down the stairs, run and avoid obstacles. What makes it special is that they can conduct an orchestra. All over the world it gives people hope that we can make a robot with artificial intelligence.
'Hubo' has similar functions, too. Kaist developed Hubo in 2009. It is the first robot that walks erect in korea and can play rock-paper-scissors game. And it can dance slowly with men and when Hubo shakes hands with a man, it notices a counterpart's strength so that this robot does it with proper strength.
'Hanako' is a useful and unique robot. It was developed in Japan by several dentists and robotic engineers. This robot was used as an instructional and practical tool for the dentist trainees at the beginning. When the trainees prick Hanako's teeth, made of synthetic resin, by mistake, it can tell that it is sick, turn its head. And it can move chin and tongue, drool in the mouth and bleed. Besides, it can recognize voice, speak function. So they not only practice medical skills but learn effective ways to talk to calm down the patients. Hanako can also evaluate the trainees' skillfulness.
'EveR-3' is an acting robot. It acted a leading role in 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', and a traditional performance of the National orchestra of Korea.
Although these robots are not well-known to the general public, now many intelligent robots have already developed. There are robot cooking, runnig errands that buys things by a shopping list input through a mobile device, teaching English, and doing housework. Even we can find some robots acting as an infant, smiling, laughing, and crying, etc. These robots have not been put into practical use yet. However, will the dream that we live in harmony with robots come true someday?20820 유지원
