Biometrics is where parts of a person's body are used for identification purposes.Commonly found in: 1) Fingerprints2) Eye recognition3) Face recognition4) Voice recognition
- Robots are used to perform a wide range of physical tasks.- They are either automated (controlled by a computer chip) or manually controlled by a human.There are 4 different types of robots:Manufacturing robots (used to perform repetitive tasks such as welding)Carrier robots (used by the military to carry heavy loads over dangerous terrain)Domestic robots (used in homes to perform cleaning tasks such as vacuuming)Exploration robots (used to visit and send images from places such as Mars)
Quantum cryptography (encryption) is an emerging technology that allows messages and data to be sent with complete privacy.Some impacts of quantum cryptography: 1) Completely sure voting 2) Secure communication3) Secure bank transfers4) Secure personal
