The Analysis of Future Robots in Japan: Review article
Abstract
Human entertainment bots, androids, animal bots, social bots, guard bots, and many other types of robots are currently popular in Japan. Each sort of robot has distinct characteristics.
This paper aims to encompass the common achievements of robots and compare them in categories like length, width, ability to replicate human behavior, and other characteristics. Consequently, in that discussion, many questions will be asked; where is the future of robotic organisms heading? What is the likely sequence of robot innovations and their use of human technologies? What challenges do robots have to face in today’s world?
