Autonomous robot

The hoverboard is a fairly new invention and has been known by many names, such as the hoverboard, sagway, and self-balancing board. Hoverboard looks very similar to a typical skateboard, in the respect that it operates on two wheels (See Figure 1). However, unlike a typical skateboard, hoverboards operate electronically instead of manually. Since the appearance of hoverboards in the feature film Back to The Future, hoverboards have been a futuristic fantasy for millions across the world. Once…

in "Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future he talks about the threat of job loss and economic difficulties that future use of robots are putting on the workers. Do you like your job? Are you easily replaceable? What about a robot taking over your job? These robots are coming for pretty much any job from fast food to sorting boxes in a factory. Are these robots getting too smart, too flexible and too convenient? Well, that's a problem because if robots get so good…

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 the Valkyrie will be a good start to this era. In the next paragraphs we will see how the Valkyrie robot functions mechanically,…

Liana Arkay 9/29/17 Sherry Turkle Analytical paper #1 As we move into a dangerous new age where intelligent machines exist alongside humans what does this mean for us and where could it lead? From the moment we are born to the time we die, we are surrounded by machines. Technology is always advancing in strides and leaps and now we are running towards the finish line, artificial intelligence. Now there are a number of different viewpoints on humanities latest goal. One of the most…

The movie that i watched and reminds me about Artificial Intelligence and robotics is the classic science fiction film TERMINATOR 2 and shows us what we have still to learn about Artificial Intelligence.Terminator 2 tells the story of two cyborgs sent back in time from the future,one is the T800 which is living tissue over metal endoskeleton which was performed by the most iconic role Arnold Schwarzenegger to protect the future leader of the human resistance;the other (the T1000, a more advanced…

and more frequently involved in human’s everyday life. This increases the need to interact with them in a more natural way, similar to the way we interact with each other. Museum tour-guide robots (Nourbrakhsh, 1999) and robots that interact with the elderly (Montemerlo, 2002) demonstrate that we do not need robots just to interact with people, but also that there is a need for the interactions to be smooth and natural. Over the past few decades Emotion-sensitive Human-Computer Interaction has…

it won’t be long until robots begin to replace us. Many people can say without hesitation that mass unemployment will erupt as companies resort to cheaper and more efficient artificial workers. People like Elon Musk describe how the only way for people to stay relevant is by getting upgraded themselves, adding mechanical aspects to enhance our skills. This second part doesn’t seem too bad, in fact its a sci-fi lovers dream (my dream) of slowly becoming one with robots. However, there isn’t…

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,…
