OUR ROBO-WORLD!

With autonomous robots expected to pick more than 25,000 raspberries a day, perform surgeries, and serve food in restaurants, AI-powered machines in China are redefining technology and ways of life simultaneously to create an age and stage where they might even have the ability to express love and emotion

Since it opened in June 2012, a restaurant in Harbin, China, has gained fame by using robots to cook meals and deliver dishes.

The robots can work continuously for five hours after a two-hour charge and are able to display more than 10 expressions on their faces and say basic welcoming sentences to customers.

The world's first raspberry-picking robot is also attempting to harvest one of the fruits after sizing it up for an age, plucking the fruit with its gripping arm and gingerly placing it into a waiting punnet.

The whole process takes about a minute for a single berry.

It seems like heavy going for a robot that cost £700,000 to develop but, if all goes to plan, this is the future of fruit picking with each one being able to pick more than 25,000 raspberries a day, outpacing human workers who manage about 15,000 in an eight-hour shift.

Sitting in China, a French doctor performed prostate cancer surgery on a patient in Morocco, 12,000 kilometers away.

The doctor used a Chinese-made robot to carry out the surgery.

On November 16, Youness Ahallal completed the surgery in under two hours, with a one-way latency of just over 100 milliseconds.

This intercontinental surgery has set a record for the world's longest remote surgery ever performed, with a round-trip transmission distance surpassing 30,000 kilometers, according to Xinhua News Agency.

The surgery was carried out with the help of the Toumai Robot, which allowed for precise control and high-definition imaging from a remote location in real time.

Recently, the video of an incident went viral on social media where the smaller Artificial Intelligence-powered robot successfully persuaded 12 other robots to quit their jobs.

The AI robot Erbai, which abducted 12 other robots, was developed by a Hangzhou robot manufacturer.

Erbai kidnapped the other 12 robots at a Shanghai robotics showroom.
