Robots have long ceased to be science fiction. With them, our lives have become easier, more interesting and... more unpredictable. In this article, we'll answer the top 5 popular “Why?” about robots so you can learn a little more about them!
And if your child is into technology, we can't wait to see them in class at Progkids!
#1 Why are robot vacuum cleaners round?
Robot vacuum cleaners are often round in shape for several reasons related to their functionality and efficiency. The round shape allows the robot vacuum cleaner to easily rotate and maneuver in tight spaces. This is especially important when cleaning corners and around furniture. Thanks to its rounded shape, the robot vacuum cleaner can smoothly avoid obstacles such as chair and table legs without getting stuck or damaging them.
In addition, this design helps to evenly distribute the suction force over the entire floor surface, which improves the quality of cleaning.
The round shape also helps to minimize the size of the device, making it more compact and easy to store.
#2 Why are robots being introduced into restaurants?
Robots are able to optimize service processes and improve the efficiency of the establishment. They can perform a variety of tasks, such as delivering meals and cleaning tables. Robots have even learned to cook, allowing staff to focus on the more complex and creative aspects of customer service. The introduction of robots reduces labor costs, especially when there is a shortage of qualified personnel. In addition, the use of robots helps to reduce errors, make the cooking process more environmentally friendly (by accurately calculating the necessary ingredients) and improve hygiene.
#3 Why do kids love robots so much?
Kids love robots for many reasons, including their interactivity and their ability to arouse interest. Robots are often seen as toys that come to life that can execute commands and interact with the world around them in different ways. They stimulate imagination and creativity, allowing children to experiment and learn through play. In addition, robots are often associated with technologies of the future, which makes children curious and eager to learn more about science and engineering. An interest in robots and technology contributes to the development of critical thinking and problem solving skills.
#4 Why can a robot be a good teacher?
Robots can be excellent teachers due to their ability to take into account the individual needs of each student and provide personalized training. Using AI algorithms, robots are able to analyze progress and adjust training materials in accordance with the level of knowledge and the speed of learning. This gives children the support and attention they need. In addition, robots can work tirelessly. They are ready to teach at any time, which is especially useful for repeating or consolidating material. Robots can also interact with students interactively, making the educational process more fun and motivating.
By the way, Progkids also has its own AI teacher!
#5 Why are robots called that?
The term “robot” comes from the Czech word “robota”, which means “hard work” or “hard work”. This word was first used in the play “R.U.R.” by Czech writer Karel Capek. His work was published in 1920.
Since then, the term “robot” has been used to refer to automated machines that can perform various tasks by simulating human actions. Thus, the name reflects the robot's purpose to perform tasks that are difficult, tedious or dangerous for humans.
