What is the best robot in the world?
This is a very open-ended question. I have spent a lot of time watching develpments in the industry of robotics and artificial intelligence and have found a vast array of excellent products. In the category of military robotics I would have to say that IROBOT's "Packbot" line of robots are extremely well developed and have been combat proven. I have personally witnessed these robots preforming demolitions on IEDs or Improvised Explosive Devices buried in war zone roadways, a duty that was previously preformed by soldiers. In home robotics there are many different examples. My personal favorites would again come from IROBOT. The company builds a fantastic line of home cleaning robots that clean everything from carpet to hard-wood and tile and even pools and gutters. The "Roomba" series of robotic vaccuum cleaners are leading the industry and have surpassed any competition. The "Scooba" cleans hard floors just as effectively. The "Looj" cleans gutters (believe it or not.) The "Verro" cleans pools. "The Dirt Dog" handles work-shops and garages like a pro, and the new "Connect-R" robot is in charge of keeping families in touch during separations. In the entertainment field, though it is flooded. The discontinued Sony "AIBO" Entertainment Robot lead the pack. The robot was so friendly and packed with so many features that it still stands out as the top of the line. However, newer models are coming into the market from toy brands that are showing some promise. The best robot for developers and students as well as hobbiests would have to be the "PC Bot" from White Box Robotics. This fantastic machine is a rolling, seeing, hearing and sensing PC. It comes with PC expansion slots and runs familiar PC operating systems and is expandable and programmable. This machine is fascinating. Check out all of the above mentioned robots because each is a gem and worthy of research. ASIMO made by Honda is good. It can run and go round in a circle and can recognise objects. Even a person pointing. If u call its name it will turn to face you. If an unusual sound occurs it will turn in the direction. It also looks like a child but there is also a sense of empathy which is the result due to its "human like" behaviour.
