All of Kelly’s…

baseball games” (Kelly 306, 307) are jobs which humans will never be able to do due to high levels of precision needed and other characteristics that human bodies do not have. In addition, artificial intelligence has been already incorporated in machines; therefore, robots will have more abilities to perform any job or activity. Baxter is a great example of this intelligence; this smart robot can perceive humans, look around, learn processes by looking and perform them perfectly. Many other…

I shoot an “excited” look to my father and smile, oblivious to the fact that this gift would change my life forever. That night, I decided to give the set a try. I flipped open the manual and just stared at the…
