Now that super-human AI seems plausible, some of us have become worried about safety regarding the future AI development. They typically come in two forms. The first concern is that due to our inability to understanding the technical issues involved in complex systems, an AI system may end up exhibiting behavior or achieving a goal much different than what the designer purported. If the capabilities of this system are super-human in most aspects, it may end up unintentionally being dangerous to…

Everyone who wants a job needs a resume. Since everyone has one yours has to be the best and shiniest one in the pile that a hiring manager will see, so is it?

Figure 7.9: Quality Assurance by process management Jidoka Many people have equated Jidoka with simply automation. Jidoka is made of two words. The Japanese defines automation as simply a machine that moves itself (which is Jido). However, Jidoka refers to automation with a “human touch”. Jidoka provides machines and operators with the ability, apart from automation, to detect an abnormality that has occurred and to stop the operation immediately. Otherwise, the machine should safely stop…

programmable robots. Robot is an electromechanical device which is used to do the specified work prescribed by the human beings. First robot was invented by George devol in 1954. Robots are controlled with the help of computers; the desired work is programmed with the alphanumerical language and prescribed to the robot. Applications of the robots mainly include machining, assembly operations, pick and place industrial components with accuracy and high precision. 1.2 Structure of SCARA Robot The…

Next, the second dimension is the relationship of the inventor and invention. Can people be seen as powerful as God by empowering robots to become individuals? The personage of Nathan corresponds to the position of God. In the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, God has six days of creation and the following, seventh day, is having a rest. In the film, Nathan gives Caleb a week to test Ava’s consciousness. And with each day passing by, Caleb starts to get confused by Nathan’s bizarre behavior.…

The pros and cons of drone warfare. Introduction Drones are all the more formally known as aerial vehicles. Unmanned aerial vehicles well-known as drones. Basically, a drone is a flying robot. The flying apparatus can be remotely controlled or can fly independently through programming controlled flight arranges in their installed embedded systems working through a GPS. Years before drones were used in combat; drones have proven to increase surveillance, reconnaissance, and general military…

Some may ask of the importance of robots without knowing how much they make use of them daily. Robots are able to undertake assignments that humans are incapable of doing, such as extremely tedious, or just larger tasks that require time that most people just do not have. Writer Kevin Kelly, in the article Better than Human, explains the way humans and robots interact, and how humans will continue to grow heavily dependent on them. Robots are given the jobs that humans are incapable, or just do…

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.

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,…
