Hitachi Ltd has advanced its capabilities in the experimentation in robotic assistance. SoftBank Group Corp.’s humanoid robot "Pepper" now has competition in the market. Hitachi "Emiew3" was revealed last week and is controlled by a centralized computer operating system that can detect when people need help or assistance. The system can dispatch humanoids for assistance and it can move up to 3.7 times faster then the rival pepper. "Emiew3" can understand and communicate in four different languages. It is designed to assist people at airports, hospitals , and any other public places or venue. It has a built-in microphone that can detect noise and would be transferred into the database for evaluation. The weight is 33 pounds and it has a redundancy system to help itself up if it falls or tips over. "Emiew3" is scheduled to become available in 2018.
I feel that in order for Hitachi Ltd to stay competitive in the market, they should consider releasing their robot earlier. This is a new technology that hasn't been tapped into. The robot "Pepper", of SoftBank Group Corps, is already considered the world's first robot that understands human emotions and has been on the market since July 2015. If Hitachi Ltd waits to long to release "Emiew3", people will lose interest or go with the rival Pepper who at that point would have gone through modifications making the system more effective.

The robot would help tremendously even when we have a natural disaster because these machines will help to find a missing person. The most important thing is that the machine will have 4 different language and its going to benefit other corporate companies such as airports, hospitals, and other public places. Indeed that it will help but the cost of the machine will be expensive in which only certain people can buy the machine.
ReplyDeleteWhat do one of these robots cost? What are the uses or advantages of the robots? How will they companies implement these robots into their industries and make them useful? I think they are an interesting idea, but how realistic are they and how will the public perceive the robots?
