Remotely controlled android to 2020 year

11
For a long time you will not surprise anyone with industrial robots. This type of technology has been firmly established in production practice for several decades. However, there are still a number of industries and areas of production, the economy, etc., where highly specialized robots simply cannot cope with the emerging tasks. The solution to this problem in the future should be more versatile humanoid android robots. Their application, first of all, is seen in those areas where you need to work with people and, as a result, have the appropriate appearance and work features.

Remotely controlled android to 2020 year


Not so long ago it became known that the national social movement Russia-2045 joined the number of organizations involved in the creation of the android of the future. The project called “Our Avatar” is now in its early stages and so far only promises great prospects. In the future, based on today's developments, a group of designers led by D. Itskov, the founder of the Russia-2045 movement and the main ideologist of the project, plans to create not only a robot assistant, but also a full-fledged cybernetic "carrier" of the personality. However, this is not a matter of today or tomorrow.


Currently, the project "Our Avatar" is only in its first stage. In the “roadmap” of the program, it is listed under the code designation “Avatar A”. The result of the first part of the whole project should be the creation of a full-fledged humanoid robot capable of performing a number of functions that were previously beyond the power of robots. "Avatar A" is divided into three main areas: the creation of a so-called. control object (android itself), the creation of control tools (robot control system) and the preparation of the control subject (android operator). These three areas, in turn, are divided into even smaller, but important parts. At the moment, work is under way on the creation of mechanics and software for the hands of the future android. At the same time, employees of Russia-2045 are working on the tools necessary for face recognition - without this function, the robot is unlikely to be able to communicate normally with people. This is not to say that all this is simple. If only because, if I may say so, the architecture of the human brain and the electronic computer are too different. Similarly, the situation with the creation of manipulators, because the machine assembled from artificial parts is quite difficult to teach to act in the same way as the natural human hand works. Nevertheless, there is already some progress and soon the engineers of Russia-2045 will begin work on the “chassis” of their robot - its legs and associated systems.

An interesting fact is that the operating android manipulator hands of the Avatar A project are currently available only on experimental stands. But the face recognition system is tested on a different type of device. A few months ago, the team Itskova showed its achievements to the general public. Then it was the upper half of the future android - torso, head and arms. It is in this configuration that the robot is currently used to fine-tune the system for recognizing faces and coordinating head movements. As soon as the rest of the “spare parts” are completed, the tests of the new robot will be started in full. It should be noted that even in a not fully completed form, the Avatar A prototype is able to give a rough idea of ​​how it will look in the future. Specifically, this tested android has the face and body of the chief designer. Like the heroes of some fantastic books and movies, D. Itskov "presented" his own appearance to his creation. Whether such a move causes the envy of an engineer’s colleagues — we don’t know. However, the goal of the project is to start mass production of Avatars and their widespread introduction. Who knows, maybe employees of "Russia-2045" will be made substantial discounts?

The staff of the Russia-2045 organization is planning to complete the first stage of the Our Avatar project over the next few years. So, by the middle of the next 2013, their robot should already take its first independent steps. After the completion of the design work and the completion of the creation of software for the “A” stage, the project stage called “Avatar B” will be launched. Even this second stage of work looks fantastic by today's standards. Itskov's team believes that during the Avatar B stage, an android will be created that can not only act on the commands of a person, but also become a carrier of personality. True, the artificial intelligence is not talking. It is understood that the biochemical circuit will be included in the power supply system of the new robot. Thanks to him, it will be possible to “mount” the human brain on the android. This will allow not only to control the mechanical part, but also to transfer the personality from one “carrier” to another. Naturally, the “B” stage will require additional research in the field of brain transplantation, transformation of electrical signals of the nervous system into a kind understandable by electronics, etc. The designers all understand this perfectly well and declare that the Avatar B project stage will be started no earlier than 2020 of the year, or even much later.

The third stage, denoted by the name "Avatar B", by today's standards is complete and unconditional fiction. It is during the third stage that it is planned to create the hardware of artificial intelligence. And not only intelligence, which will “appear” by itself, but also portable from external “sources”. In other words, the android of the third stage will be able to get a new identity from a person without a brain transplant. Obviously, the Avatar B stage will not start in the 2020 year, and, most likely, not even in the 2030. The main snag of the third stage of the project “Our Avatar” lies in the absence of the necessary neurobiological technologies. But, as are sure in “Russia-2045”, this is just a matter of time. When it comes to the third stage, the scientists who study the brain will achieve the necessary results.

Finally, in the “roadmap” of the project there is a fourth stage. However, the details of “Avatar G” are currently represented by the avaric hologram avaricious characteristic. It is difficult to understand what exactly the authors of the project understand by these words. However, under certain circumstances, through the 60-70, even third-generation avatars can be outdated.

Now "Avatar B" - only the second stage of the program - is more fiction than the work of the near future. However, this does not prevent designers and programmers from Russia-2045 from continuing to work on the project. Several companies, including foreign ones, have already become interested in their plans. It should be noted that the developments in "Our avatar" in the very next few years can already be applied separately. So, the arms or legs of the robot, being equipped with a neuro-electric interface, can be used as prostheses. As for the remotely controlled robot as a whole, according to current plans of Itskov and his comrades, mass production will be launched in the 2020 year. The approximate cost of the complex, of course, has not yet been announced. Regarding the time of the next stages of the project, it remains only to speculate. And in the part of "Avatar B" or "Avatar C" assumptions may concern not only the prospects or the price of the android, but also the moral side of things. Who knows if “Our avatars” will implement the story of S. Lem “Washing tragedy”?

      This is nonsense. I mean the Russia-2045 project. In my opinion, this is an office for pumping out the dough. We PRIARE everywhere, on many sites their banners stick out, and they did it on Channel 5.
      I went to their site, there is a complete discord. Projects are somehow chaotic. There is no specifics. Who says what, but in the end it all comes down to "give money for development." And sponsorships are probably spent on advertising.
      Very similar to a scam, but maybe I'm wrong.

    Damn, the name is not correct: "Avatar". Better would be Werther 1, Werther 2, etc. )))

    How many batteries will last for him, or he will have an atomic battery like a terminator. With electronics and mechanics, everything is less or less clear, but the question of powering such a contraption is currently the most difficult one.

    You have to start somewhere. Any of the most complex engineering systems consists of elementary links. There was once a Ford Kalyaski workshop assembled. The main thing is human will, essentially a divine creature.

    I was not even surprised that the foreigners became interested in everything for them, but in America they gouged out their eyes that I saw too much and will buy foreign equipment
