Final Paper Report
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY“Everything is in constant flux in this earth. Nothing keeps the same unchanging shape.”
In the past centuries, humans utilized robots to aid them in doing mundane tasks(Spaeth, 2018). As time passes by, various technologies emerged from robots such as
motors, sensors, artificial intelligence and many more. In this current era, robots have beenused to do multitude of tasks that has been classified into two types namely, Industrial andNon-Industrial robots. Industrial Robots have the following characteristics: multiple axles,repetitive action, and made for mass production of materials. This type of robot is used for
manufacturing in order to increase the production rate of the corporation. Conversely, nonindustrial robots - otherwise known as service robots, are made as a companion of humans
through interaction, communication, and to aid in daily activities.
Robots having the ability to perform tasks swiftly and accurately with minimal tono error which made them to be prevalent in our current society. They have been innovatedto solve problems that occurred in their society and to meet the demands of the people intheir daily lives. This resulted to dependency of human society to robots to perform suchtasks. In an instance, Japan is one of the most advanced countries in terms of technology
and they evidently used robots as part of their everyday lives. The use of robots and its
innovation are mainly determined by the needs of society. Koto Nezu, the CEO of Znug
Designs said that his basis for innovation is to make people happy especially to the people
in need. LoBot, one of his latest ideas is designed to be a companion for people who areincapable of having pets such as allergies and old age (December, 2019).

In order to determine innovation, we must first understand the individualcomponents of a robot that together, lead to an overall advancement. The researchers
identified three major components of a conventional, non-industrial robot. These three areArtificial Intelligence, Mechanical Components, and User Interface.
In 1956, John Mccarthy introduced the term artificial intelligence (AI). During thisconference, Allen Newell, Cliff Shaw and Herbert Simon introduced Logic theorist. Logic
theorist is considered as the very first program that has AI, while having the ability toimitate a person’s problem-solving skills. With this significant event people started tobelieve that it is possible which in turn led to different breakthroughs. Nowadays, AI isdefined as the advanced mind of the robot which holds and processes data. In a talk thatconcerns AI, it is said that AI with the use of machine learning can learn how to read, write,see, learn and listen. Also, it was also stated that AI was made in order to collaborate, aid,and help humans. On the other hand, AI is not only used to use its power to absorb
information, it is also used for cognitive enhancements. Cognitive enhancement is theability of A.I. to learn and memorize the situations occurred in the environment such asinteractions of humans, noises from animals, view of the scenery and more. It has two main
factors, namely control and self-learning. To determine its advancements, there are several
factors or technologies that it may possess. In terms of self-learning, the emerging
technologies present in it are the cloud computing, machine learning, big data, machine
vision, and image recognition. In terms of control, AI intelligence may be assessed bydetermining its ability to understand or use multiple languages, recognizing speech,
converting speech to text, and vice versa.

User interface, on the other hand, focuses mainly on the interaction between robot
and human, the component that connects the two entities together. There are several
qualities that make a great user interface, accessibility, aesthetics, usefulness, and clarity.
A user interface should be accessible to different sets of people (ex. Different
nationalities/languages, persons with disabilities, etc.). The overall appearance of the userinterface should be appealing and pleasing for the people and it should be easy to translate.
The user interface should also fulfill the wants and needs of the owner since that is its main
purpose. Lastly, the interface must be easy to understand and should not contain any
unnecessary clutter.
The final major component is the mechanical parts of the robot. Each component
corresponds to each ability. Power component gives it the required energy to accomplish
tasks. Power can be measured through its battery type, longevity, and efficiency. Sensors
is deemed as the gateway for a robot to input and gather data from the physical world andthese can be correlated to the 5 senses of human beings. To measure its advancement, it isbased on its multisensor systems. Multisensor system can be broken down into sensor
fusion and sensor architecture. Sensor fusion is the use of different types of sensors toamplify the robot's capabilities. On the other hand, sensor architecture is the explanation
how each data from each sensor is the processed through the system. In any robot, it isimportant to take note of its structure. The structure of the robot consists of type of material
used, its stability and the durability. It is important to consider the overall appearance anddesign of the robot to make it appealing to the user while accounting the most appropriatematerials to be used and accomplish its task with minimal errors. The motor of the robot
gives it the ability to move in various ways. Each motor has various functions such as themanipulator and the end effector. The manipulator can be compared to a joint of a humanshoulder or a hip. While end effector is the motor part where the robot interacts with its
environment. Each robot has to process data from inputs such as sensor and end effectors.
In order to process the data, it needs a processor. The processor is the brain of the robot.
Information passes through the processor and signals each robot to act accordingly
The 3 components of the robot namely; Artificial Intelligence, User Interface andMechanical Components represent the product of innovation. These are the areas todetermine whether the robot advances or not. Each component has its own function thatcollectively contributes to the overall advancement of the robot. These innovations
manufactured in the robot is used to improve the ability of the robot to do their task andaccomplish its purpose.
METHODSThis research utilizes a mixed method design to identify the advancements oftechnology in non-industrial robots. The researchers followed the following steps in orderto accomplish the objectives of the research:
1. The researchers found a conventional robot to be compared with the robots
that will be found in IREX 2019.
2. The researchers utilized a questionnaire in order to gather information about
the features of the robots in the exhibit.
3.

From the data gathered in the questionnaire the researchers analyzed the datausing thematic analysis.

DISCUSSION
Based on the findings, the researchers found out that the current trend in the advancement oftechnology in non-industrial robot is artificial intelligence. Due to the demand of automation, people use
Artificial Intelligence in order to simplify tasks in both industrial and non-industrial use. despite having AI
as a trend in technology in this current era, it still lacks prevalence. the lack of prevalence is because ofdifferent issues in the society. These issues include the notion of people that robots are dangerous andinvasion of their privacy. Lastly, the main cause of the lack of prevalence is the lack of skilled people thatknows how to use this kind of technology that will eventually led to lack of manpower that will be a hugefactor in making artificial intelligence common in the society.

Recommendation
Based on the findings of the research, there is a reoccurring trend in Non-Industrial Homerobots, namely: Artificial Intelligence. Although the advancements are notable, there is stillmuch to improve upon. The researchers suggest to improve AI in terms of:1. Developing a software which allows robots to feel emotional pain. This in turn, gives
the robot the capability to sympathize with human emotion and
2. Improving encryption and data privacy as these play a major factor against theacceptance of AI in society.
In addition, society also needs to hone their skills and abilities to amplify the overallfeatures of Artificial Intelligence thus viewing advanced robots is not something to beafraid of.
