After reading the article “Google achieves milestone in driverless car technology development,” I agree that if there were to be driverless cars made and cars made to where each car can communicate with each other we are kind of losing our humanity. It just goes to show that with these cars being made our technology is changing tremendously. It can be a good and a bad thing for technology to change so much. But, if it changes so much that it no longer requires people to interact with others…

What The Future Holds On The Red Planet In 2095, the year that everything in our world seems to change every minute and every second. Living in a vast and different environment to what we humans used to live in. No longer the blue skies but dark and empty, no more smell of cheesy pizza that every child would go crazy for but the disgusting packaged and creamed up versions of green beans. What are clouds? When our world is now infested with nothing but twinkling lights from up above. The wind…

In the movie, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, by Steven Spielberg, there are two dominant groups of beings: flesh-and-blood humans, and nuts-and-bolts humans (also known as mechas, or mechanical people). In this dystopian future-world, humans produce and destroy mechas as they like because to some, a mecha is only a machine and cannot feel emotions or pain, even if they can show outward manifestations of emotions and pain. David is a mechanical child that is programmed to not have this…

Luckily, Thomas Frey writes a two-page quasi-extension to Alessandri’s article, Frey’s being entitled “Hi, I’m a Robot and I’m Here to Take Your Job.” Be sure not judge this book by its cover, Frey might surprise you. Like Alessandri, Frey agrees that human workers will no longer be needed as drivers in the transportation industry after autonomous vehicles begin to popularize. Frey states that “Driverless cars [...] will replace the need for drivers,” and an extension to Alessandri’s claim,…

The Fake-Loving Robot Pet Would it make sense for someone to love a robot so closely? In the article,” Love in the Time of Robots,” by Frank Mullin, is a list of why the robots do not add up to the benefits of a real-live pet. One reason why they do not add up is was programmed to show fake love and affection. Another reason is because it promotes laziness. Unlike real pets it must be cleaned up after and cared for all their needs. Then finally why the robot does not add up to the benefits…

The Robots have won In the article “Our Unpaid, Extra Shadow Work”, Craig Lambert the author gives his take on the rising term “shadow work”. According to an Austrian philosopher, Ivan Illich, “shadow work is referred to as unpaid labor.” Craig Lambert states in his article that the self-service checkout line at the grocery store is an example of self-service, as well as pumping your own gas at the gas station. Shadow work is becoming more and more popular as the innovation of technology becomes…

Conventional techniques restrict precision, flexibility, and control than is possible with robotic surgeons, so how can't a robot be trusted? Although trust is an emotional act which usually occurs between person to person, in this same act, a patient is exposing their vulnerabilities to a robot with the respect that a robot will not take advantage of their openness. The dissemination of robotic-assisted surgery have allowed for the impossible to be done, and that includes performing operations…

‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’ is a post-apocalyptic world where the earth has been reduced to a ball of mud and rubble. The radioactive dust rains down, slowly degrading the remaining life. The life that is left has become extremely valuable, and people keep animals as their most sacred possession, those who can’t afford one buy false, electric ones. Almost all of human society has emigrated to the colonies on Mars, and anyone left is forcefully encouraged by government. In the…

A robot is only as reliable and trustworthy as the program that controls it. TruPhysics is an owner-managed company that was founded in 2014 at the Institute of automation and software engineering of University Stuttgart. They have created a unique simulation process. By creating digital twins of the robot and environment and simulating the physical behavior in real-time to generate training data training neuronal networks of the robot. Thus they can handle tasks in individual situations with…

Swarm robotics is an advanced robotics field which involves co-operative behaviour implemented on robots. Swarm robots find its applications in a large number of fields like process automation, defence, surgery, surveillance etc.In the centralised swarm robotic approach, we have a master robot and one or more slave robots. For a known environment this approach has a very less response time. The master robot is basically in charge of the slaves and controls their actions through sending suitable…
