Autonomous robot

The history of military robotics dates back to World War II and the Cold War. During those times of spying, weaponry and strategic attacks, these robots were in the form of Germany’s type of robotics and Russian weaponry called “teletanks”. It originated combined with a radio controlled boat intended to use by the military from Nicola Tesla. As the Soviets had created the teletanks, they were modified to be controlled by the radio signals. Weather conditions made it pretty tough to use, but…

The goal of Happy Mini @ Girls Art Project is to create a home robot which will make family and society happy. We believe our resource and technology are not meant to build war or battle robots. Through robotics, we aim to promote a socie-tal change in which we take full advantage of engineering and science to help sustain household happiness allowing family members to share the enjoyment of life in a beloved community. As a home robot, Happy mini has unique features: its cute design (e.g.,…

smaller, this robot-dependent surgery was known to be less invasive than preceding surgical methods. Because their was less intrusion in the body, the risk of infection was reduced, hospital stays were shorter, and recuperation time was reduced.(Vertut and Coiffet 97)Since this implementation of Robots as an assistant in delicate operations, numerous procedures have been performed laparascopically as both technology and skills of surgeons have advanced. Despite the advantages of using Robots in…

The idea of robots has been in the mind of humans for more than 4000 years. Since men began to think philosophically, this idea has been discussed.* The first literary use of the word robot was in 1921, nearly one hundred years ago. Up until World War II a robot was a remote concept, but with the invention of the first digital computer, robots were suddenly a possibility. Today robots are a reality, and scientist involved in robot research believe that in the near future robots will be…

Robots and Ethics The use of robots and robotics in modern society as well as in the military, industrial, and healthcare fields is a highly debatable topic. There are many positive uses for robotics however there are also some very ethical dilemmas. This paper will discuss the pros and cons of using robotic technology through the military, industrial, healthcare, and everyday society. The first field that will be discussed is the industrial field. Robotic technology has greatly increased the…

In the book “The Glass Cage How Our Computers Are Changing Us” by Nicholas Carr, discusses about factory robots and self-driving cars, wearable computers and digitized medicine, as he explores the hidden costs of granting software dominion over our work and our leisure. Automation has become a huge beneficial factor in the world as we know it. Everywhere we look computers and robots are slowly taking away certain jobs and tasks, but have substantially improved our lives. Without manufacturing…

The Robot's Rebellion: Finding Meaning in the Age of Darwinism is a cognitive science based book by Keith Stanovich that was created to show that humans are able to attain a “rational self-determination while still accepting all of the evident implications that come with the genetic revolution and Darwinism”. While humans always took thought that they were making decisions based on self-preservation, Stanovich states that we are persuaded to make decisions for the betterment of our genes. Due to…

Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) explores us to a future humanity full of intelligent machines. Throughout the movie, it is debated whether the “mecha” (robots) are as real as the “orga” (humans). This parallels the debate today on whether machines have the ability to truly know things the same way that we can, or whether they are only capable of doing what we program them to. The problem is the definition of knowing; it can be applied to shared knowledge as well as…

is the use of robots in surgical procedures. A large contribution to its popularity are due to some fallacies pre established by society, other "educated" arguments look at technical aspects of the robots. Quite a few of the controversies revolve around the topic of labor and how humans with families will benefit, other controversies evaluate the effectiveness and necessity of an autonomous surgery. Lastly there are simply personal questions that people have about robots. Are robots as deadly or…

Filmmakers, pop science writers, and scientists explain how robots develop intelligence, and potentially emotions. In a live science article, computer scientists, Bill Hibbard explains that robots will have human-like intelligence sometime in the 21st century. Explaining how these AI robots will overtake humans in 2100 he says the robots intelligence will be astounding. In another article by Sony Pictures the authors explain how they have a robot film called “Chappie” that was the first droid to…
