      2.9.3 Cheetah Robot

The Cheetah robot created at MIT [31] was the first robot capable of doing a backflip. It is a lightweight and springy robot that can perform a range of motions such as walking right-side up or upside down. Apart from that, it can walk two times faster than a normal human being on uneven terrain. The robot has four legs, with each leg consisting of three low-cost motors that can be easily replaced, and gives a wide range of motion with low inertia and high torque design. It can recover from an unexpected force. Also, its balancing capability is far better than other robots and can easily and instantly balance itself. So, one can say that it is the only state-of-the-art balancing and backflipping robot present till now [32].

      2.9.4 IBM Watson

      IBM Watson is the smart question-answering system that can answer any question that has been asked in natural language. It was named after Thomas J. Watson, IBM’s founder and first CEO. Initially, It was built for serving the purpose of QA(question answering) and it uses machine learning and cognitive thinking to perform the QA, but recently the capabilities of Watson have been increased [33]. Now, it’s not only a QA system but also has the capability to talk, hear, see, learn, interpret, and perform as a recommendation system.

2.10 Conclusion

      In this chapter, we have discussed various robotics techniques that are used for automation via two of the most in-demand and trending tech systems of the industry—AI and the IoT. Based on their capabilities they are used for automation in a wide range of robotic applications, including healthcare, manufacturing, defense, space exploration, restaurants, agriculture, houses, etc. Looking at the requirements we have defined the roles of various robots and diagrammatically described each role. Apart from that, we have also discussed some of the algorithms that are used in robotics and how they can be used to derive other algorithms based on requirements. Defining the application we have discussed various case studies of some of the most popular and astonishing accomplishments of various institutions or companies with a description of their inventions and the innovative changes they have brought to our modern world which have helped in making it a better place to live.
