Autonomous robot

We speak about build progress or recent events and demonstrate our robots at a variety of local government and club meetings, such as those of the school board, Lions’, and Rotary Clubs from the surrounding areas. Our team has integrated robotics education in the classroom and local youth groups through Lego and VEX robotics programs, mentoring young students as they are required to work in teams to design a robot capable of solving a challenge. These programs exist to encourage cooperation…

have important political, economic, and social aspects of life. A Redbot is a small red robot that is built and is coded to do almost anything. This will help all people without taking more than one trip about every single time. The robot's design is a Redbot with a box on the front with supports to hold most things. It is coded with the option to be controlled with a controller that is helps the robot move. This will be a very ergonomic piece because, it is small light and the…

robotics that is been able to improve humans’ everyday lives. As the field advances the physical features of robots have started resembling humans, and robots have the capability to perform simple human activities. The programming behind many robots also resembles the working of the human brain. With robots becoming more like humans and performing like humans the fear and the horror of robots and robots’ capabilities have also increased. This is called Automatonophobia, a type of phobia that…

the future. The school will have a modern look and feel. Lockers will not be necessary, as our supplies will be carried by tiny robots. Your robots will follow you around. You can set times and order them to carry your things. Desks would be like giant iPads. Bells would stay the same. We will still have a lunchroom, but you won’t eat there anymore. Instead, your robot would receive your food and will take your food to you. We’ll still have a gym and a library. A classroom will have quartz…

achieved in the future. For example, the film WALL-E, which is about a robot designed to clean the garbage that covers the Earth after it was devastated and abandoned by humans in a 'distant future’, but it is still a distant future? The truth is that we will have made those possible consequences of our selfishness and unconsciousness in the closest future. Now days, we all are wishing for technology to develop faster so robots can do our responsibilities, for our cellphones to have more and…

as the lesson progressed I realised there was truth to his perspective. Taking inspiration from my initial thought my group decided to exaggerate the first scene starting with Aastha, Erin, Georgia and Maddi who all played the roles of futuristic robots. They conveyed their role by having their face faced downwards and only when I switched the ‘button’ on with an elongated ‘beep’ sound they began to start operating. They remain stationary with a neutral facial expression, arms parallel in front…

since they are the best impartial judge of the law and can interpret everything objectively. Even now we are beginning to see the effects of technological development over the past few years. Robots are becoming more capable and artificial-intelligence gets smarter every day. It is getting to the point where robots are cheaper to employ than humans, which will displace many from their jobs. “It seems undeniable that over the past 20 years the advanced nations have experienced technological…

I think Turtle’s book, Alone Together, is a challenging and enlightening book. In the first part of book, The Robotic Moment, the author discussed about if robots can make up for the inner loneliness of people by giving abundant examples and cases about digital creatures, sociable humanoid robots, and companionable robots. Some kinds of robots and related studies mentioned in this part are novel to me and also bring some new ideas. In the second part, Networked, the cases are closer to our daily…

If you think you’re doing well, you should know a robot could do so much better; but is that so bad? Kevin Kelly doesn’t seem to think so, as presented in his article “Better than Human: Why Robots Will - and Must - Take Our Jobs”. Kelly recognizes the increasing automation in the workplace, and sees it as a benefit not a loss. Robots replacing human jobs must occur in his mind because the benefits greatly outweigh the shallow changes. Kelly takes on a refreshing opinion further presented by…

Ridley Scott and I Robot the 2004 movie directed by Alex Proyas, show how two movies in the same genre of science fiction can explore similar and different themes. The shared themes of creator turning on the creation, technology and the implications on the future and Morality are explored in both the movies, however through stylistic features, plots and dialogue, the films vary from each other. Blade Runner with its dystopian and philosophic charm follows morality more, whereas I Robot has a…
