Artificial intelligence

This generation we have the most advanced technology than we ever had, we have new products that help us do virtually everything. N.A.S.A has created a new robot called the Valkyrie that can save you from disaster, and even complete missions. The Valkyrie is of much use, and it is mainly designed for the DARPA competition; DARPA stands for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. As you can see here we are trying to create robots and machine to help us to function better and protect us, and…

Robotics is one of the young fields of modern technology that has crossed the limits of traditional engineering.[1] Understanding of robots requires knowledge from a very vast domain including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems and industrial engineering, economics, computer science and mathematics. Manufacturing engineering, knowledge engineering and applications engineering are some of the new fields which are emerging rapidly to deal with the complexity of robotics and…

Searle states that syntax itself is neither constitutive of, nor sufficient for, semantic content. Therefore, the computers are not sufficient enough to have a mind because of their purely syntactical form of processing information. Searle argues that his claim is correct by using an argument that he wrote called, “The Chinese Room Argument”. Searle believes that being able to understand information requires having the ability to have consciousness, self awareness and intentionality.This…

Dominance Rossum’s Universal Robots (R.U.R) written by Karel Capek. Henry Domin is the director of the R.U.R where they create robots with the purpose of solely work. Uniquely, the robots do not have any feelings except pain. Subsequently, the reasoning they have pain is so they do not destroy or harm themselves. Helena the president’s daughter took a tour of the factory and could barley tell if the robots were human or not. Their futures are identical to humans, the only thing that does not…

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it”. This quote by Alan Kay, a computer scientist, inspired many people. One RedBot, Maker of Morse, is fulfilling this quote. Although there are already robots that can help people, the Maker of Morse can do more than that. It saves people's lives. It uses Morse code to help people in the military, and it's other special features help it to even save people was are starving to death. If there are men in a stuck in a cave, and they are starving,…

How To Classify A Robot With the rise of technology the idea of robots and humans merging is not that farfetched. In the book, Genesis by Bernard Beckett, Anax (the student) is taking a test for The Academy, an exclusive in the post apocalyptic Republic. In front of three examiners, she gives everything she has, for her love of history, especially, the life of Adam Forde, a hero of an earlier rebellion. Anax assumes the test is to earn a spot at the Academy as she explains Adam’s imprisonment…

Clive Thompson, a freelance journalist and blogger for New York Times Magazine, and Wired, composed an essay entitled “Smarter than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our Minds for the Better.” He claims that “we are becoming centaurs. But our digital tools can also leave us smarter even when were not actively using them” (360). Clive Thompson waists not time on explaining what it means to be a modern centaur. He begins by explaining the game of chess and what it's like playing man vs. man…

Better Than Human: Why Robots will – And Must – Take Our Jobs In Kevin Kelly's essay, "Better Than Human: Why Robots will – And Must – Take Our Jobs", he reveals why humans should let robots take their jobs and how to develop more exciting jobs to do. He shows the readers how robotic technology will have a positive impact on our society. In the essay, Kelly discusses the effect that we, the humans, will experience due to the loss of jobs to robots, what new jobs will be created because of…

My imagination always runs wild when I think about Robotics. I loved working on our Ten80 car as well, because we use cars in our everyday life. What a perfect way to figure out how your car at home works and then challenge its limits. I did like the drawings to engineering TEN80, it let me explore the insides of a vehicle and help me better understand it. It encourages me to push the limits on how far my vehicle can go and how fast. Also exploring where my limits reach its maximum. It…

Brian Christian, the author of “The Most Human Human” took on the challenge to prove that he could be more human than a computer. Sounds a little odd but that was the purpose of the Turing Test, which assigned a judge to have a conversation with a computer program and after with a human, then he would choose which one, to him, was the most human out of the two. Christian set out of a journey to not only prove that he was more human than a computer but to seek for what actually makes humans so…
