Best Answer

Giving a robot too much autonomy introduces the possibility of unexpected behaviors. In the computer world, that's called a "bug".

What are names of a robot?

There are humanoid robots, military robots, insect robots, and space robots. There are more kinds of robots too.


Why aren't there robots?

Actually, a number of kinds of robots do exist. Industrial robots exist in manufacturing. The kind we have seen in science fiction movies, like C3PO in Star Wars, which look like metallic people and have human as well as super-human capabilities are called humanoid robots. The Honda ASIMO is probably the most popular humanoid robot at this point. As far as the lack of humanoid robots throughout society, the simple answer is, the technology is still being developed. It takes a lot of research to build something like that.One of the biggest roadblocks to having one of these humanoid robots walking around or in your home is probably the lack of marketability because they aren't smart enough yet. In order for a humanoid robot to do a variety of tasks, and do them like humans do, it must have a very advanced artificial intelligence.That said, the development of a really good humanoid robot is the product of artificial intelligence, so we should probably be asking the question, "How good is artificial intelligence, and why isn't it better yet?"


What are Disadvantages of humanoid robotics?

Fine motor control. Basically the use of hands and walking. Walking is way more difficult than it feels, especially in a big clunky machine. Robots at this point just don't move as fluidly as we do.


Do all robots have heads arms and legs just like us?

No. What you're referring to would be called a humanoid(=human-shaped) robot, and those are actually quite rare. Most robots today are industrial robots, and they look entirely different.


What tasks does the humanoid robot perform and What human function or task does the humanoid robot simulate?

To date, "humanoid robots" are doing well to walk without falling over, and can perform a few basic tasks such as recognizing a bright light or in some cases responding to a few voice commands provided that adequate voice recognition software has been installed.

Where are robots being used?

China and Japan are the places where you find most of the robots being used, but in most automobilie factories there are robots in use. So they're not only in China and Japan. The more humanoid robots are primarily in China and Japan. Also there is robotics comititions where students build robots and battle them in multiple countries.


Do robots have a nose?

It depends on the robot. If the robot was designed to look like an animal or humanoid, then yes, sure. But otherwise, no.
