Artificial life

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…

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be defined as a subfield of computer science closely tied with biology and cognitive science. It is concerned with computing techniques and models that simulate and investigate intelligent behavior. Research into artificial intelligence builds upon our understanding of the brain, its evolutionary development, and provides insights into the way the brain works, as well as the larger process of biological evolution. Artificial Intelligence…

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…

to work for the humans anymore. He felt this way because Doctor Gall spent a significant amount of time to create him to be different than the other robots, he had a soul. Radius recognized that he was just created to perform the human’s duties in life because they were lazy. Secondly, he realized that he was being used so humans could gain power over one another. Radius stood up for himself because he did not want to work for people who only created him for their selfish needs. In R.U.R…

logic, evolutionary computation, hierarchical control, neural networks, etc. are some of the control techniques used for autonomous robots. Neural networks help a robot learn from its experience and environment and act specifically. Research in artificial intelligence is evolving, but for the time being, the robot does what it is set to do. Rich knowledge in computer science, mathematics, electrical and mechanical engineering, systems engineering, is required to grasp the complexity of robots…

“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,…

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 and exposure to Art. What she fails to realize is she passed a test she was not even aware she was…

Artificial intelligence has been a controversial topic since forever. If we ever successfully create artificial intelligence many believe that the world will end, the robots will rise and machines will no longer need humans to pull their strings. Next robot's intelligence will surpass human intelligence and machines will find it easier to eliminate humans rather than live with them. Others believe that the creation of superintelligence can be the solution to problems like disease, poverty, and…

The impact of technology on society is a growing topic for discussion. Often, the issue of whether or not technology is controlling humans arises. Academic scholars, journalists, and writers have presented various views on this issue representing both the support and opposition for technology’s control over humans. In his article “Why Robots Will-and-Must Take Our Jobs,” editor and writer Kevin Kelly strongly defends that humans have control over technology by describing how the primary job of…

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…
