What was once considered unbelievable is gradually entering our lives. We all saw science fiction films in which robots interact with people, but we could not even think about the fact that they will become our assistants before!
Now many people are willing to buy robots in their home - they help with housework or in other matters. But modern technology is not limited to robots alone, and is constantly evolving.
Take a look at this selection and make sure that the fantastic future is very close ...
10. Companion Robot
Personal robots are already what people can use. But Jimbo is not just a stationary speaker with a light indication.
If you watched the cartoon about Valley, then you must remember that Eve was there. So the robot looks like her - he moves and expresses emotions. Jimbo dances, laughs, comes if you call him. He can become a real companion!
Of course, Jimbo needs to learn something else, but soon he can become part of the life of any family.
9. Glasses for the blind
Powerful glasses help blind people see. When a person puts on the most powerful eSight 3 glasses, the device records video. Thanks to various algorithms, it is transformed into what a blind person can see.
Technology is not able to help completely blind people, but it can help those with very low vision. And soon a person will be able to feel full in society.
A poorly seeing person will be able to watch TV, read a book without harm to health.
8. Running shoes for fast running
Sometimes an athlete needs help - for example, with Adidas Futurecraft 4D sneakers, everyone can move faster. The secret of such an invention is quite simple - the midsole of the model is made using 3D printing and is selected individually for each - in shape, flexibility, size, etc.
The future, when the sole will be printed right in the store for everyone, will soon come. And now the series is sold with soles.
7. Exoskeleton that helps to paralyze
Soon, those who used the walker will forget about them. Each paralyzed will have his own physiotherapist! With paralysis of all limbs, a person, of course, cannot move, but with the exoskeleton the problem is solved - he can get up, walk, move. Now about 3,000 patients are mastering exoskeleton management at Ekso Bionics.
What is interesting: the device helps not only the paralyzed, but also those who need help doing physical work. In Korea, for example, workers are already using this technology to work faster.
6. Robot surgeon
We are used to being treated by doctors when we arrive at the hospital. But right at that moment, somewhere already, the operation is carried out by a robot, not a man! DaVinchi has been manufacturing equipment that helps with precise operations, and can even be done over long distances.
The surgeon is now taught not only to work with a scalpel, but also to control the robot. Robots are also being improved so that the movements are exactly the same as if the doctor had the operation.
5. Unmanned vehicles
Who has ever thought about how nice it would be to get in a car and drive without driving it ?! The invention of machines at one time was a real technological breakthrough, but it seems that revolutionary changes await humanity. We are not talking about flying cars, but about a device equipped with automatic control.
Already, such cars are being tested, and talking about them is becoming increasingly popular. Those who dreamed of attending parties and drinking alcohol, but refrained from drinking, because you cannot drive while intoxicated, can rejoice!
4. Test tube meat
Vegetarianism is becoming more and more popular - people understand how much harm they do to the planet and do not want to harm animals.
Vegetarians can rejoice! Scientists managed to come up with a method that allows you to create meat directly in the laboratory. Besides the fact that it cuts down the energy and resources that are usually spent on raising an animal, but also such meat is no different from the present, and even more useful.
Another plus is that a lot of the space occupied by livestock farms will be freed up on Earth.
3. Bullet transport
The world is constantly expanding, every minute something new appears ... The pace of modern man is growing, and sometimes he needs faster movement.
Hyperloop Ilona Mask is a giant steel pipe stretched above the ground, a vacuum train. The project promises that the movement on it will be so fast that the usual 6-hour journey, which is spent on a trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, can be reduced and spent on movement in just 30 minutes.
This train is a real revolution in land transport.
2. Vertical trusses
So that humanity does not need healthy and fresh food, scientists decided to team up with farmers to create innovative farming. This method differs from the traditional one in that the plants are grown indoors and space is saved.
Thanks to this innovation, people will be able to grow their own food - in cities. If they do not, they will be able to buy fresh food in stores, regardless of what the season will be.
People who care about their diet will definitely appreciate this idea.
1. Internet from a balloon
It's hard to believe, but so far not all the inhabitants of our planet have the Internet. Four billion people do not. Internet companies are constantly thinking about how to make the Internet accessible anywhere in the world.
One interesting idea came up - to launch balloons into the atmosphere, which would deliver the Internet to those areas where it is difficult to get it.
This project will help people in developing countries get to know the world around them and try to find the highest paid jobs.
