British scientist introduces dishwashing robot

British scientists have developed the first robot in the world capable of doing the work of dishwashers and cleaning tables instead of humans.

The robot named Boris was the first robot to have enough intelligence to figure out how to grasp any single object placed in front of it. The creation of a robot like this marks a big step in the field of robotics research and manufacturing, and it has many useful applications in industry, medical surgery and family life.

The robots born before Boris can only handle objects at a certain size and are placed in a specific location. The patent group has officially launched this innovative robot to make its debut at the British Science Festival, which took place in Birmingham.

Professor Jeremy Wyatt of the University of Birmingham, the computer expert who led the Boris development project, revealed that this robot is controlled by 3 different computers and has a total manufacturing cost of US $ 570,000. The main goal of the patent group is to create robots that can replace dishwashers .

Boris had the opportunity to show publicity for the first time on 9/11. The robot stretched its thick aluminum arms, multiple joints and took a pitcher, then a garbage collector before placing them in the tray. In particular, Boris is programmed to find ways to hold each of the different objects, through curving the fingers of the whole hand, using the palms of the hands to grip or grip the edges or edges of certain objects.

Professor Wyatt said: "The system we developed allows robots to evaluate objects and produce hundreds of different grip options. In fact, Boris arose about 1,000 ways to handle in his head just in about 10 seconds, this means that the robot can choose the best way to grasp the object as required, and there is no need to retrain every time the object changes. "

The Boris development project , called Pacman , was promoted in cooperation between the universities of Pisa in Italy and Innsbruck in Austria, as well as receiving funding from the European Commission. The research team has been granted a patent on technology and is currently cooperating with a company in Coventry, England to develop a version of Boris robot working with people in the factory.

Experts admit, there is much to be done before a new generation of Boris robots is used in real life. Perspectives on collaborative human work robots can happen in the next 5-10 years. However, the next important step for the patent team is to help Boris use both arms and transfer objects from one hand to another.
