The International Federation of Robotics also predicted that in the future, robots will become indispensable helpers like mobile phones and computers. What's more, the number of robots owned by everyone may exceed 10 in the future.
The service robot is just a partner of human beings, and its future market may be bigger than the well-known mobile phone and black and white household appliances market.
At present, the status quo of the robot market is that there are many guide robots in banks and museums, but few robots can be used at home. But in the near future, this situation will change. Although it is hard to say how many home robots there are in each family, there must be more than one.
Every family has the need to sweep the floor, take dishes from the table to clean, move seats and tables, and even help children with toys, bring them to the table and feed them. Assuming that each family needs five robots, multiplied by the number of families, the market potential will be huge.
The next generation of robots will be social service robots that can really enter thousands of households, which depends on the "deep interaction" between robots and human beings. But at present, there is only "basic interaction" between the two.
Although the surgical robot has been able to help surgeons perform fine minimally invasive surgery, it only shows that the robot is an advanced tool. In order for future robots to surpass tool attributes, they need to be able to better interact with humans.
Not long ago, a typing record of brain-computer interface technology belonging to China was born-69 1.55 bits per minute, equivalent to more than 60 Chinese characters per minute.
According to Gao Xiaorong, a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Tsinghua University Medical College, the development of BCI can be divided into three stages, the first stage is interface, the second stage is interaction, and the third stage is BCI. At present, this technology is still in the primary stage, and the development of the second and third stages depends on the research in the human-computer interaction environment.
