There have been serious attempts in the past to create robots that
can fully function as humans. But until now, the robots in existence
have made with limited functions or minimal movements rather.
Recently, a new sort of robot is being developed at Keio University.
It is the small type, ring-like to be exact and it is definitely
wearable. The robotic ring has the ability to copy eye and even mouth movements.
The research group developing the robotic rings says that as you wear
the robots on your fingers, they become then communication tools that
could enhance the movement of a person’s hands. It functions through the
electromagnetic motors in the eyes and it can be controlled
electrically. There is a micro controller and a battery at the bottom
part of these robots that can power through a PC.
The development of this robot can however, be considered as a
breakthrough and distinct, since the robots are attached to human body.
The primary purpose of the machine according to its inventors is to
become a communication device that is equally entertaining.
They compared it to an accessory which a person can wear with ease
and make fun with it at the same time. The researchers would also like
to further invent a robot that would incorporate to children’s way of
communicating using their bare hands
