Many of us use tablets and smartphones to get things done these days. You are not going to need people to assemble these devices. As this video by the Japan Times shows, robotic systems can be used to assemble tablet and other handheld computers:
Robots are going to take on difficult tasks for us in the future. Plenty of businesses are already using robots to operate efficiently. LaserPipe explores the idea of using a snake-arm robot and high-powered lasers for in-bore pipe welding. Such a robotic system works in confined spaces and hazardous situations.
Here is a fun robot that holds your books, so you don’t have to. Bookworm keeps your book open and follows you as you move around. The below video from Interactive Architecture Lab shows how this robot performs:
Robots will serve as your guides in the future. There are already robots that can make life easier for your customers.

Such a robot can be used at airports to pick up passengers with short connection times at their gate and guide them over up to 800 meters.
We have seen plenty of realistic robots here in the past. This Leonardo da Vinci Robot looks quite realistic. These types of robots can be used to greet visitors and provide them with information on art exhibits. As you can see in Otoo TV’s video, a few other realistic humanoid robots were showcases at the International Robot Exhibition:
Robots are going to do many things for us in the future. That includes playing our favorite sports. In the past few months, we have covered plenty of robots attempting to play soccer and other sports. The Golf Agency has posted a video that shows a robot kicking a soccer ball:

Meet the AVTO-01 Launcher: a UAV launcher based on Assisted Vertical Take-off technology developed by the AMORES Robotics that can vertically launch fixed wing UAVs and keep them away from bushes and small trees. The launch process is powered by the energy of your vehicle while an electrical winch handles the arming.
