The technological revolution is taking place now, it is around us. It is still in the making, but progress is constantly accelerating. It is a process of gradual replacement of people living on mechanical ones. Once a person did everything with his hands, since the appearance of the first instruments, much has changed. Today we not only exchange human muscles for mechanical servos - we have already begun to trust the computer more than the human brain, is not it, is not it? It's only the beginning. So, the top robots and robotic technologies that come to replace people.

Autonomous vehicles( with autopilot)
Companies such as Google and Bosch have been developing autonomous vehicles for many years. These really "auto" cars have passed in the test drives of countless hours, and proved that the idea has the right to life, and their time has already come. This is not a question of "if", but rather "when."When these automated vehicles take their place on the roads of the world.

Baxter. Multipurpose robot
Baxter can do many kinds of low-skilled work. He is a good bartender, loader, he easily and beautifully stacks and packs clothes and other goods, glues and places boxes, etc. And, this iron hard worker can learn from people, just watching their actions. It can be taught a lot of actions that need to be done in places not accessible to people. At first, it works a little slower than people, but then learns, and it catches up with its own. In addition, the costs of maintaining such a device( electricity, maintenance) do not go to any comparison with wages, social benefits, pensions. .. well, you understand.

Briggo. Coffee mechanical wizard
Coffee is one of the most sought-after beverages in the world, and therefore it's no surprise that someone is trying to get a little head start when it comes to the mechanization of the industry. The development of this sophisticated robotic coffee kiosk, capable of creating any of the many types of coffee beverages by simply pressing the touch screen, can make a revolution. Briggo, if there are many, will be able to compete even with industry giants such as Starbucks and Tim Horton.
Technology allows you to pre-order coffee before leaving home. Through the telephone application. Briggo remembers the preferences of each customer and makes exactly the same coffee every time, anywhere in the world.

Roxxxy. Too "Multipurpose" robot
This cute robot is developed in TrueCompanion. They tried to make it as realistic as possible, not only in terms of anatomy, but also in terms of personality. Her customers can choose one of the many temperaments and emotional patterns, from a shy lady to. .. well, let's down. At a weight of only 60 pounds, Roxxxy can perform many actions that you just can imagine. The robot knows any foreign languages, and can have any skin color. So, soon the target flow of people in need of specific services will move from living priestesses to mechanical ones.

iCub. Robot - chatterbox
ICub, in comparison with other robots, just a kid, but he knows a lot. He understands many languages, and answers accordingly. Like Baxter, iCub is able to learn by watching people, but more in terms of languages and speech skills. The ultimate goal of the team that created iCub is to make it as similar to a human being as possible in terms of communication. A kind of intellectual interlocutor.

Saffir. Robot - firefighter
The US Navy created a ship-based autonomous robot firefighter called Saffir. Miracle robot, as is clear from the specification, is designed to combat fires. The robot easily detects fires, easily fuses with them, and keeps balance under any conditions on the sea.

Trader Bots. The robotized stockbroker
In addition to the material world in which we can actually see the robots in action, the digital world also begins to be filled with all kinds of AIS( autonomous systems).Some of these software bots are already trading with each other in the stock market, and interestingly, their algorithms and neural networks are able to predict many events in the industry. They can learn, both from people and from each other, to solve problems they have not encountered before. Is not the "Matrix" starting here?

Watson. Robot - Dr.
This technological miracle, this work of art IBM wants and can be a doctor. The robot is now able to store much more medical data about the diseases, the patient's history and compatibility with drugs and reactions to medications than any card file of any hospital, and even more so the person is a doctor. The robot can even put a preliminary diagnosis from the patient's words.

Digital Aristotle. Robot - teacher
As in the flesh, Aristotle has been regarded by many as an ideal mentor from ancient times. And why in our world there was no place of its digital version? While the robot is still in the conceptual development stage, however the concept is simply fascinating.
Who does not now scold the education system, who does not now believe that the curriculum can not be the same for everyone, and there can not be more than two or three students per teacher. ..
Digital Aristotle will be maximally personalized for each student, helping him in hisown rhythm and pace. Unsuccessful, in fact, will no longer be.

Robot - artist
It's impossible!- Many will exclaim, and will be partly right. Such a thing as the creative process is inherent only in man, his consciousness and self-consciousness. But is it really so? Robot Emily Howell creates music that can not be distinguished from music written by a person. Other programs can write articles, news and monthly reports that white-collar workers must fill out on a regular basis. You can not even imagine how much news in the newspapers you read, not realizing that they are written by a robot.
There is also a special robot - WaterColorBot, which can reproduce the painting, and not on the screen, but in the real world. Robots can learn a certain style of painting, for example, they mastered Impressionism, get any portrait or landscape in this style.
Of course, this is not a creative approach in the true sense, nevertheless, algorithms are being improved, life is changing.
All these robots are just a small part of what is coming, in terms of mechanizing human activity, and we can only guess what the future holds for us.
