The curiosity of making machines that reduce human effort has been a major focus in the field of science. Robots are now exactly what we imagined them to be in our science fiction movies and are slowly becoming a huge part of our lives. There have been interesting developments in the construction of these robots and a few of them which have attracted a lot of attention are mentioned below :

1. Aeolus Bot: is one of the first household robot helpers. Aeolus can perform a variety of tasks like cleaning, vacuum the floor, move the furniture, and also pick up items and place them in their proper storage place. It has the ability to carry a conversation and learn.

2. Sophia: is a social humanoid robot and has an extremely advanced AI. She is able to track and recognize faces, ask her own questions and hold natural conversations with humans. It can learn from experience and apply that to new situations just like humans.
