In the case of Player Piano they are even entrusted with duties such as the law in a court case, 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…

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…

Blade Runner the 1982 movie directed 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…

Who Owns the Future Due to Artificial Intelligence (AI) having the ability to learn information at an exponential rate, it is very easy to believe that AI owns the future. There are two broad types of AI, soft and hard AI. Soft AI is not intended to mimic the human brain, soft AI could be used to make a difficult boss in a video game. Hard AI on the other hand is intended to mimic the human brain, and many experts in the field are scared of what will come from the evolution of hard AI (Baer).…

After years of convincing myself that the robotics team of Slidell High was an organization unfit for me, I finally overcame my robotic-phobia and enlisted. The team moved with a rhythm unmatched by any other team, grinding and welding and programming without bounds. The finest gumbo of human achievement, the robotics team accepted my flavor unwaveringly. Although I felt that I was needed with the labeling and organizing, I had no particular impact on the gumbo until computer science discovered…

ROBOTICS Robotics have been around since the Third Century B.C. of early descriptions of Automata appearing in Lie Zi text of a mechanical engineer named Yan Shi who created a life-size, human-shaped figure f his mechanical handiwork. Due to their abilities to compute many tasks and as artificial intelligence increases. Western civilization, specifically, has been in love and terrified by the idea of human machines. In an unending search of humankind to figure out who we are; A question mostly…

of Growth of Robotics on Employment Robotics is the fastest growing industry. Other fields like healthcare, biotech and energy are not growing as much as robotics. Some people argue that robots are replacing human jobs, while some people say the robots will create new jobs, increase productivity, and raise the economy. In a work-based environment, employees cannot compete with robots in efficiently and productively. Employees have to work as a team to get success. Growth in robotics would…

As a robotics engineer you need to be able to see the features of an object a few feet away. This skill is useful because you may be trying to work on a robot that needs to reach or handle a problem that is out of reach or not able to touch it. You need to be…

Industrial robotics are quasi-intelligent machines that increase production rates, efficiency, quality, and safety in all aspects of manufacturing and assembly. They have the ability to pick up single or multiple objects and place them anywhere within their reach, weld simple and complex parts together, and use sensors to inspect material or parts at any point in the manufacturing process. Although robotic arms and automation are a newer technology, both are taking the manufacturing industry by…
