We should have a robot by now.
What do you think could contribute to a successful robot?
Here is my list:
Body
PETMAN - YouTube
Muscles if needed
Robot muscles could be stronger as steel - YouTube
Eye (Camera #1)
Supermarket Scanner Recognizes Objects, Makes Barcodes Obsolete #DigInfo - YouTube
Second Eye (Camera #2) and Hands
High-Speed Robot Hand - YouTube
Skin (There are many companies that have created skins that are sensitive to vibrations and would allow a robot to determine what it is touching)
Robot 'Skin' Built With Touch Superior to Humans | News & Opinion | PCMag.com
New Solar Powered Robot Skin Can Feel Touch, Sense Chemicals - Video
Materials
Lighter and stronger is better (Micro Lattice is just one example)
Scientists Create World's Lightest Material - YouTube
Power Source
An efficient power source is likely the most difficult issue in creating a robot. If oil and battery industry would ever allow for advancements then this may become less of an issue, however, modern advancements in materials and nanotechnology should allow for lightweight affordable materials to one day become a reality. Which material is best suited for mass production and has best value is what needs to determined.
Organizations are all developing separate technologies that need to be combined with each other. They need to work together and be backed by billionaire investment. If billionaires can do it for space travel and for space mining then they should also begin on robotics.
