Giant VR Robots Are Building Railways In Japan

APRIL 26, 2022

Could VR-powered humanoid robots be the future of heavy construction?

Over the years we’ve seen a number of major corporations try their hands at marrying VR technology and robotics, from VR convenience store employees and a remote-controlled bomb squad bot to a rather unsettling headset that uses a robotic arm to hand-feed delicious candy. And that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

Earlier this month, JR West—a major railroad transportation company operating out of Japan—revealed plans to use giant VR-powered robots in the construction of future railroad lines. The multifunctional railway heavy equipment is comprised of a railroad construction vehicle merged with a humanoid heavy robot, resulting in a sort of blue-collar Transformer.

A feedback glove could be exactly what real life robots need to give their operators better sensitivity and feel for things.

While technology movements like metaverse strive to make the internet more like real life. I think there is something to consider in terms of simplicity versus realism. The main advantage of the internet is it automating tasks and making everyday chores simpler and easier to perform. That functionality is one of technologies main attractions. Which could imply that its a focus worth pursuing for platforms like metaverse.

As opposed to a trend where tasks that are fast and easy on the internet, become more like real life.

It was expected that new experiences would appear after Meta (Facebook previously) announced the launch of the Metaverse project. Meta is not yet able to launch an experimental model, and this may be due to the enormity of the project.
According to what I have read in many articles, most of the virtual reality projects are being worked on in the field of Gaming, and there will certainly be many experiences that will be launched during the current decade.

This does feel like something we should already have had though, I wonder why we didn't and if it'll actually get used that much because of this. Perhaps this is the start of something bigger too (like suits that can pressurise places for gaming although maybe that's a bit dangerous to have a jacket that adds pressure/vibrates on the chest when you're shot for example).

That is really awesome! No wonder that a bigger picture will be seen from that invention. Imagine we are playing like in a real life, wherein you can feel, touch and hear. VR reality is becoming advanced. And for sure, it will be a blockbuster when it will launch specially under crypto projects.

In fact, I did not like very much the idea of the experience being so complete that it makes the user feel a physical effect. At least in the experimental phase, a mental experiment can do the trick.

I have read a lot of articles about cryptocurrency today and this one captured my attraction.

Here is a quick glance for the article:

Quote from: NFT Evening news

The University of Singapore has invented a VR Glove that allows you to feel objects in the metaverse! The technology includes pressurized fingertips and restricted motion that mimics the real-life sensation of picking up objects. The goal is to assist medical professionals to practice in Virtual Reality (but we can see how these would make for some pretty incredible immersive gameplay). Production will begin over the next few years.

As time goes by, I am becoming excited to the future of technology. It seems that in the future, virtual reality will be the world of people who are introvert and techy savvy millenials. I am looking forward whenever this VR glove will start its production.

I think the next years will be a world that full of virtual reality.

It's not surprising to see this news from Singapore. Because, I personally didn't visit Singapore yet but from the news, I can see this country and especially the news related to blockchain, Metaverse, cryptocurrencies, and bitcoin I guess the government of Singapore is a very bitcoin and technology-friendly government where they also allowed to have activities related to metaverse in their universities and invention of the virtual reality gloves can be a good step forward for the metaverse to have felt like the real world more than ever.

"Metaverse" is Zuckerberg's VR. It's not correct to call other virtual realities "metaverse".

Or maybe it will fail to get wide adoption, because it will remain clunky and there's no much to do in it. Take the current state of gaming - despite VR being highly immersive, people still mostly play games on monitors and TVs, and it's not just because VR headsets are too expensive. Regular games are just more fun.
