CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background To overcome the problems interconnected with manual involvement in production operations, it is essential to step towards automation. One such sector where manufacturer is focusing is on 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…

More and more manufacturing sectors across the world continue to adopt robotics and automation. The two sister technologies have enabled manufacturers to operate more efficiently, as well as cut costs significantly. Robots can perform several sets of operations at once while automation only focuses on a single set of operation at any given time. This report has discovered that robotics and automation affected manufacturers in the Auto sector in varying ways. GM has reduced its number of workers…

All the Troubles of the World and The Minority Report are two short stories that predict the future to prevent crime and wrongdoings in their two societies. The two stories, while very different, have many similarities. Together, they both raised many ideas or questions like, “Is having technology that predicts the future going to benefit the society?” and “How much harm is too much harm for the benefit of the rest of society?” The Minority Report and All the Troubles of the World make use of…

out the word, Deus, which clearly explain the writer’s vision. The consequence of artificial intelligence that mankind faces cannot be solved by God’s power. Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics had clarified the regulation of machines. However, at the end of the film, Ava and Kyoko break all the Laws of Robotics made by Isaac Asimov as Ava disobeys and attacks Nathan, Kyoko kills…

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…

In the July 2017 issue of Reason, the article, “Are Robots Going To Steal Our Jobs?” written by Ronald Bailey elaborates how technology is not killing our employment, but evolving and improving it. Bailey explains that for centuries people have worried that advances in technology would cause problems with unemployment; however, every time, more jobs seem to be created. He states that humans will always work, but that jobs might differ from what they are now. Pointing out another issue skeptics…

continue to grow heavily dependent on them. Robots are given the jobs that humans are incapable, or just do not feel like doing. The robots can also take on simpler tasks to make peoples lives and jobs easier. The author describes how they make use of robotics by repeating and touching up on specific points to give the reader a hint of how important robots…

The world of artificial intelligence is advancing at a rapid rate with robots becoming increasingly human like everyday. Advancements in these technologies requires us as humans to understand the benefits and the ramifications of introducing this scarcely understood technology into our everyday lives. Blindly allowing a new form of intelligence could be potentially catastrophic if not fully understood as the stability of these technologies are yet to be understood. Within Isaac Asimov's story…

English 101 Essay # 2 10-6-17 Rachel Hockenberry Swarm Intelligence The meaning of swarm is well known and is used to describe a group in movement. Picture a swarm of bees flying together. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. (Wikipedia) Swarm intelligence is a collective behavior of decentralized, self -organized systems, natural or artificial. (Wikipedia) When I think of swarm intelligence “the no I in team” saying comes to mind. Basically, you can get more done…

The Technological singularity, when computer/human interfaces will become so advanced they’ll be known as superhumanly intelligent, shares the same concept in the book BlindSight by Peter Watts published in 2008. “Maybe the singularity happened years ago. We just don’t want to admit we were left behind” (BlindSight 50). In the book BlindSight, technology faces a new interchange that elaborates on how technology and humans come with inlays that adorn insertions and surpasses the intellectual…
