Not that I do not like a robot Jumping, build a 2 meter and a half above the ground. But, considering that measures only 5 cm and that arrives worse than the great American hero, I still prefer the classic San Bernardo and his dose of brandy hanging from the neck. Vale, the robot Jumping from the Swiss Mirko Kovac and Dario Floreana, of the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems in Lausanne, can lead to slopes small cameras and sensors, but the San Bernardo you can bring to you .

Students of aerospace engineering at Delft University of Technology have lately made efforts to design the micro-aircraft Roboswift in association with the Experimental Zoology Group of Wageningen University located in Netherlands. The aircraft is a perfect tool to study about birds, or to scout over crowd of people or vehicles.

The National Police Services Agency (KLPD) has given complete assurance towards providing financial support towards the progress of the Roboswift. The ‘morphing’ wings of Roboswift weighing less than 100g and 50 cm tall offer efficiency to the aircraft. It’s operational with a very silent stimulating motor with a propeller. They say the insertion of 3 micro cameras on the project is very influential in performing supervision. The two front staring cameras are used for video–piloting and can be shown on a VR headset, while the ground–facing camera will be used for ground supervision. The android can fine-tune both the wing figure and surface area all through flight ceaselessly. In the forthcoming future, the craft will be programmed considering the nature of bird-flying viz. gliding. Folks, next time you look skywards, don’t mistake by assuming it as only birds as they can be Roboswift as well that are trying to trace you.

And here come yet another home concocted robot. Mike and Stu along with their team are working hard to produce a robot named Magenicon. Don’t mistake by tagging it as any ordinary robot as this android would surely fulfill the greatest ever execution of mechanic beings (smilingly can be a best alternative to your costly but pretty receptionist).

Evolved to be an office robot, the Magenicon runs on Microsoft’s Speech Server. After a little tweaking, the robot performed some mind blowing gestures. It is being programmed to welcome guests, recognize staff, make calls for workers and directs visitors’ through the building. Presently, the robot is in a prototype stage but work is on to build an apposite carcass that can write all the programming mumbo-jumbo. But for sure, if developers behind this creation are thinking to put this into market calling it as a replacement of receptionist then Excuse Me! They really need to work hard on its looks.

Within years, I see the world full of robotic creatures beating the human population. What makes me say this is the present rate of production of robots by Japanese roboticists. The creation comes under the guise of an excuse, thereby making your routine activities easy. And this gives voice to my wild imagination to expect such creations that would replace the need of human beings. They say the robots can be of great help to old and special people.  And the latest creation of the SmartPal service robot by Yaskawa Electric Corporation has proved to be so. This ultra-smart robot would surely be of great help to disabled and old people. Likewise here he is hanging their clothes, not to mention that the smart robot handpicked the clothes by color and type before hanging them.
