In recent years, the robotics industry has rapidly developed, and robots have been widely used in various fields, especially in industrial settings. It’s not difficult to see their tremendous potential.
At the same time, it’s crucial to realize that the booming development of the robotics industry is inseparable from advanced scientific research and technical support.
Below, we’ll take a look at the cutting-edge technologies of the top ten robots for your reference.
Software robot – Flexible robot technology

Flexible robot technology refers to the research and development, design, and manufacturing of robots using flexible materials.
Flexible materials with configurable properties can be changed arbitrarily over a wide range, making them highly suitable for pipeline failure inspections, medical diagnoses, and detection investigations.
Robots can be deformed – Liquid metal control technology
British scientists control liquid metal by programming
Liquid metal control technology refers to a technology that accurately controls the appearance and movement of liquid metal materials by controlling the external electromagnetic field. It can be used in areas such as intelligent manufacturing, disaster relief, and other fields.
Liquid metal is an amorphous, fluid metal, and the current technical focus is primarily on casting liquid metal.
Liquid robots are only a beautiful vision.
Biological signals can control robots – Biomyoelectric control technology

Sensitive tactile technology refers to the use of new tactile sensors based on electricity and fine particle tactile technology, which can make robots more sensitive to the shape, texture, and hardness of objects. Ultimately, this technology allows robots to perform a series of complex tasks such as medical and exploration.
“Active” Communication – Conversational Intelligent Interaction Technology

Robots developed using conversational intelligent interaction technology can understand the user’s questions and provide precise answers. Additionally, they can actively guide the conversation’s completion when information is lacking.
Apple’s next-generation conversational interaction technology aims to eliminate Siri’s “question-and-answer” model and enable it to initiate conversations proactively.
Robots have psychological activities – Emotion recognition technology
Pepper’s emotional recognition developed by Japanese SBRH
Emotion recognition technology can effectively recognize human emotions and even psychological activities. As a result, robots can acquire human-like observation, understanding, and response capabilities. These capabilities can be utilized in robot-assisted medical rehabilitation, criminal investigation, and identification.
Recognizing and interpreting human facial expressions is a derivative technology that accompanies facial recognition.
Manipulating Machines with Ideas – Brain-computer Interface Technology

Brain-computer interface technology refers to the collection, identification, and transformation of electrical activity and characteristic signals of the nervous system. The instructions issued by the human brain can be directly transmitted to the designated machine terminal. This technology can be used to assist with disabled rehabilitation, disaster rescue, and entertainment experiences.
Robots lead the way – Autonomous driving technology
“Alfaba” Intelligent Driving Bus System
The application of autonomous driving technology can provide humans with automated, intelligent loading and transportation vehicles. Additionally, this technology extends to road condition testing, defense and military security, and other fields.
Recreating virtual scenes – Virtual reality robot technology
