Robotics

A mechanical device that sometimes resembles a human and is capable of performing a variety of often complex human tasks on command or by being programmed in advance. A machine or device that operates automatically or by remote control.. People need robots for repetitive and high-precision work. Robots perform tasks in hostile environments that are impossible for humans, while also carrying out repetitious tasks with speed and accuracy. Without robots, our modern industrialized world would not…

An executive editor of Wired, Kevin Kelly in his “Better than Human: Why Robots Will – and Must – Take Our Jobs,” published on December 24, 2012 address the topic of how robot can improve our lives and argues that robots will execute human’s jobs in the future. Furthermore, Kelly acknowledges how robots replacing human for their jobs is similar to the industrial revolution in the 1800s. As Kelly supports this claim by providing the abilities a robot has, he predicts automation will replace…

In the article “Better than Human: Why Robots will and Must take our Jobs” by Kevin Kelly states that automation is and will continue replacing all kinds of jobs as well as generating new ones in areas never imagined. Humans’ replacement from the workplace started two hundred years ago when the first wave of automation came out resulting in 1 percent of unemployment and hundreds of professions in new fields. Currently, industrialization develops on an extensive scale and plays a significant role…

which discussed the history and changes in robotics from the personal experiences of Dr. Kanade. The Lecture was known as The Future of Robotics: A Multicultural Perspective from My Fun Research in Computer Vision and Robotics which displayed his personal opinions on how robotics has advanced. Takeo Kanade gave his own personal perspective of the evolution through his experience as a professor. As a Professor of Computer Science and Robotics in the Robotics Program at Carnegie Mellon in…

Who Owns the Future in the Medical Industry In the medical industry, robots are becoming an important part (Anandan). They do not work on their own, but are controlled by the human to perform the work (Anandan). What is the impact on your job when robots are cheap? “Robots are never going to be cheap” Newton Medical Center Obstetrics doctor, Kent Bradley said in an interview (Bradley). If they do become cheaper, they will be more available to smaller hospitals (Bradley). Newton Medical Center…

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…

 The greatest advantage of artificial intelligent system is that it can never get tired or sleepy or bored and since it can be programmed to do dangerous tasks human safety and security will not be at risk. RISK FACTORS Under this topic we will discuss about the risks associated with Artificial Intelligence. We will see that there are many risk factors but the most crucial risk factor is existential threat from Artificial Intelligence One of the main disadvantage of AI is the…

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…

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…

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…
