The 3E Robotics Concepts Aim To Bolster Human Productivity and Leisure

Japanese automaker Honda is taking CES 2018 by storm with the introduction of a family of high-tech robot concepts, each and every one of which is designed to ease a different area of human life.

The 3E Robotics Concepts project includes the 3E-D18 autonomous off-road robot that is designed to ease the workload of people who work outdoors, by offering a number of work attachments including a tool rail, digger arm and a fruit picker designed for farm work. There's also the 3E-C18, an electric three-wheel cargo solution, and the 3E-A18, a service robot equipped with AI technology.

What all these robot concepts have in common is the fact that they use AI and machine learning to assist their users, with the end goal being the leveraging of robotic technologies to enhance human productivity and comfort.
