Robotic surgery

The use of robots, programmed machines capable of automatically carrying out a specific series of tasks, was once only a foreseeable reality if you were a strong believer in science fiction novels. Now, the implementation of robots to complete tasks that were once only done by humans is now a reality. Presently, robots serve in many different aspects of society and their influence is predicted to increase indefinitely. Regardless of one’s viewpoint about the use of robots and what a robots’ role…

Hanson Robotics, an artificial intelligence company in the United States, has attempted to create an AI with developed social skills. They have developed a social robot, named Sophia. She is able to process visual data, see people's faces, process conversational data, as well as emotional data. She could use these data to form relationships and socialize with humans. As for physicians coping with health care in hospitals, AI may replace physicians in some areas. For example, surgeries require…

Robots and Ethics The use of robots and robotics in modern society as well as in the military, industrial, and healthcare fields is a highly debatable topic. There are many positive uses for robotics however there are also some very ethical dilemmas. This paper will discuss the pros and cons of using robotic technology through the military, industrial, healthcare, and everyday society. The first field that will be discussed is the industrial field. Robotic technology has greatly increased the…

Many people are afraid of robots because of how robots are portrayed in science fiction. The problem here is that people use these stories as examples of how robots will take over the world even though the robots in the story are the product of the writer’s imagination. Science fiction assumes that robots will turn on mankind because it makes for an interesting conflict, not because it’s the most likely event. It’s the same way as with zombie stories - a strange, antagonizing force is made up to…

years, many predict robots will play a more negative role in human everyday life. Furthermore, robots will lead to a bleak future for people. Robots today are being used all around us to assist in human life. As we progress further in out society, robotic technology is just starting to begin its major…

III. Discussion Robotic technology, in general, brings both opportunities and challenges. Some people are optimistic about them while others are skeptic – some are even fearful of how they will affect humanity’s future. Broadly speaking, robots aid in industries to make jobs faster and easier. Nowadays, one can find robots working in factories to aid in the manufacturing process like in car plants or in warehouses like that of Amazon’s Kiva robots. The military also utilizes robots for…

Abstract— 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…

Skynet from Terminator, Ultron from The Avengers, and the robots from I, Robot are all Hollywood dramatizations of robotics. These are all extreme examples that tend to strike worry into the hearts of the viewer. Comparing the initial upbringing of these three extreme examples to today’s robots, they are programmed to increase the quality of life for inhabitants on Earth. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is intelligence programmed into machines or robots to overcome challenges. Modern…

In recent history, plenty of people have discussed a specific term. That term is an AI or Artificial Intelligence. Over the years, Hollywood has been using this topic to make movies. So what is Artificial Intelligence? Merriam-Webster states that, “Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science which simulates the intelligent behavior in computers”. This means that an artificially intelligent machine behaves like a human being. According to Britannica, Alan Turing, a British…

effectiveness and necessity of an autonomous surgery. Lastly there are simply personal questions that people have about robots. Are robots as deadly or hostile as they are in Hollywood? Or are robots only capable of doing what they are programmed to do? I believe that robots do have a place in society as tools, and what seperates us humans from the…
