my first language is not English. The next task given to my team was to build a Lego robot. The assembling instruction was so simple and easy to understand that we could work together and made it without any errors. To enhance work efficiency, our team decided to facilitate to share an assembling work, which I am glad to have done because we could make the robot faster than the other teams. After building the robot, we were given the several programing tasks, which were getting harder and harder…

In Isaac Asimov’s short story “Reason”, the author provides a detailed account of a robot’s creation and upbringing. The robot, named Cutie was created on earth and shipped to space in separate parts; therefore he has no knowledge of Earth or any other bodies in space. Cutie’s stubbornness and reasoned thinking led one of the scientists to comment, “Oh, Jupiter, a robot Descartes” (p. 51). Cutie has a lot of similarities with René Descartes. Both Cutie and Descartes possess infinite curiosity,…

Recently we watched in class The Measure of Man from the tv series Star Trek: The next Generation. From this one episode a lot of questions have arisen about the legality of cyborgs in the future. In the case of this episode it is over the android Data and whether or not he has human rights or is just a piece of machinery. At first it seems as if the writer wants to show the Data does not exhbit all the qualties needed to have to make himself human. This is evident by the poker scene at the…

As Kelly supports this claim by providing the abilities a robot has, he predicts automation will replace approximate…

help these autonomous drones distinguish combatants from non-combatants and civilians. Actually these drones should end up doing less collateral damage than a missile or even a human since they are wired and programmed to follow ROE to the most specific detail and leaves no room for human error. Where a human may accidentally engage a person whom he thinks has a weapon an autonomous drone, through the use of its optics and programming will not engage this same target. Many people have…

anything. They leave robots to do their work for them, this even means leaving the Earth they have destroyed and making robots clean it up for hundreds of years. Humans showed no care for the planet while they were on Earth and it became an inhabitable landfill. The outcome would have been very different if people tried to do their part as a person on Earth and help with keeping it clean. Instead of doing all the things humans could have done to help the Earth they left it up to robots. That…

While humans always took thought that they were making decisions based on self-preservation, Stanovich states that we are persuaded to make decisions for the betterment of our genes. Due to…
