Treasure Planet
The film Treasure Planet has a key robot character. He is old rusty, left behind and has gone mad. Traits similar to that of our robot character.
The robot is skinny in it’s body shape and has a human aspect (picture a skinny human who has been left in the wild for years). The robot has expressive eyebrows as the character talks during the movie. Another reason the robot character was chosen was because of the eyes again like the eyebrows are very expressive. They have movements like a normal human eye (depicting a human aspect again). The character is rusty and has moss growing on the arms, head and other parts of the body. An aspect that could be incorporated on to our character.
Wall-e
A major film I took a look at was Wall-e a film based on robots and a robot who has been left alone to rust and to shutdown on earth. There are a number of robots in the movie I could look like but I will look at key robots from the movie.
The major character in the movie is wall-e. A rusty robot with human like characteristics which is shown throughout the movie. Like when he doesn’t get his way he kicks something and it all fall on him (like a stubborn child). The design of this robot is to be cute and to attract a huge audience. Even though he is rusty and falling apart throughout. The cuteness is shown through the characters eyes which have many human emotions. The character is not your standard looking robot with legs and a large torso. This make the robot standout and more memorable something to consider when designing our robot character. The cuteness can be added to our character so can have large puppy like eyes and a small unique shape body. The style on the character is rusty, dull and mainly one primary col...

...e had the modern style and some had the old rusty style. No matter the style they all did the same job and recovered and repaired.
They all tended to be the same singular colour of white or silver even the old rustic one’s. Which is the opposite to our major character as it shows they get used a lot more.
In conclusion it’s clear from all the research that if you want a certain type of robot, modern or rusty. Then the style and the colour theme have to match to make the character convincing.
The research also showed the depending on the robot’s job there needs to be something to convey it. Like multiple arms security lights and cleaning arms. If they don’t have some sort of item or texture to show what it does then like colour it will not work.
For our robot he needs to have bumps, scuffs and rust to show like Wall-e he is not need or used anymore.
The article does not include the number of robots being used today and the succession rate. The author mentions an amicable android like C-3PO, “killer-bots” whose apathetic ability of goosebumps in the movie The Terminator. Or a malfunction world of people deprived of human attributes around them in the movie Wall-E.
In addition, “If we let it.” is a quite important point and concession on robot this issue. What we are thinking of about robots — the advantages and the disadvantages — all these things are under the circumstances of we human let these robots exist in our future. If we do not allow these robots enter our lives from now on, there will be no more concerns over this
In the twenty-first century the creation of the positronic brain leads to the development of robot labourers and revolutionises life on Earth. However, to the Martin family, their household robot NDR-113 is more than a tool, it is a trusted friend, a confidant, and a member of the family. Through some unknown manufacturing glitch, NDR-113 or known as Andrew has been blessed, with a capacity for love and a drive toward self-awareness and development that are almost...human.
Asimov’s book “I, Robot” is full of exciting short stories about human-robot relations. But the one story that really touched me was the first of the nine: Robbie. I have read this and many other Asimov books throughout the years. Not all of them but most of them. Besides the “Foundation” series,” I, Robot” kept me reading it while sitting at the end of my chair. This book was the first Asimov book I read and it still is my favorite.
Over the course of history, technology has had many advancements that human beings thought they would never be able to witness in their lifetimes. Today, many people never thought they would live to see the creation of robots. However, forms
“The Robot Invasion” written by Charlie Gillis, characterizes the appellation of robots and how it’s viewed. Robots have many benefits ranging from working in factories to the construction of motor vehicles. Exchanged views on the progression in robotic technology because of businesses in the marketplace. In addition to the everyday domestic housework.
Have you ever wondered what jobs a robot will have in the future? What are the parts to a
Robots have been widely viewed and seen as “the future.” Although they can definitely have their downfalls, robots can change the world as we know it. Providing care for the elderly and sick is just one possibility. Imagining a world filled with robots can be scary, but realizing the potential that can come with that is exciting. Even though it may not happen in the near-by future, robots will make a prominent entrance. We, as the people, have to decide what we want for the future
Even though it doesn’t sound as scary as killer robots, it is much more a reality. There are several examples throughout media and literature that address this, two more prominent ones being Will Smith’s 2004 movie I, Robot and more recently the show Humans on AMC. I, Robot takes place in the year 2035. Fully intelligent robots exist and follow three rules; to never harm a human, to never let harm come to a human, and to always follow the orders of a human, unless it comes into conflict with the first two laws. Almost everyone owns a robot and they are personal helpers for many humans. (IMDb) Will Smith plays Del Spooner, who is a Chicago cop who doesn’t trust any of the robots. Spooner is called in to investigate the death of a top Roboticist, who died falling of the top his office building. The death is labeled as a suicide but Spooner is suspicious that something else is up. As he investigates the death he finds that the robots in the office don’t follow Spooner’s commands which violates the three laws. He later discovers a robot named ‘Sonny’ that has emotions and the ability to dream, which was impossible for robots to do. Spooner is getting to close to something in his investigation and he is eventually attacked by a swarm of NS-5 robots. Spooner is dismissed for the investigation and discharged from duty. One night the NS-5 robots roam the streets ignoring the commands of their
Robots and complex mechanical structures have been around since the Greek mathematician Archytas invented and created a small mechanical bird powered by steam (Should the human). Homer theorized these machines before they were even created in his book, “the Iliad”. He describes them as golden servants who were created by the god Hephaestus. Homer is also the man who coined the term robot (Patrick 4). Leonardo da Vinci also created blueprints for a mechanical knight that could be considered a robot by today’s terms (Patrick 3).
Robots are machines that can do the work of a person and that work automatically or are controlled by a computer (Merriam-Webster, 2014). The Robot Institute of America (circa 1979) defines robots as “a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks” (Branwyn, G.). The Japanese Industrial Robot Association (JIRA) has classified robots based on the following: manually operated manipulators, sequential manipulators, programmable manipulators, numerically controlled robots, sensate robots, adaptive robots, smart robots, and intelligent mechatronic systems (Branwyn, G.). Robots have been improved over time and have proven to be efficient because the computer is controlling them. The history of robots goes as far back as the Ancient Greeks and Romans for the use of toys, tool...
...if I had a robot that would clean the house, do my laundry, cook dinner, and run errands for me, I would probably be sitting around a lot more than I do now.
The number of robots used in industry increases every year as more companies realize their many benefits. Robots are the future of the manufacturing industry. As the performance and flexibility of robots increases and their prices continue to drop, many companies will uses these added incentives to invest in the future. Soon every company that has an application for a robot will be forced to invest in one, to stay competitive in the world market.
In case of emergencies, robots could reduce the percentage of fatal damages that occurs through these cases. In fact, humans’ lives are much valuable and precious rather than robots, in which societies could use robots to scarify through the dangerous situation for the sake of rescuing people. In addition, dangerous situations such as firefighting or earthquake require much effort, precision, and scarifying in the evacuation process. Furthermore, a beneficial feature that could help robots to coexist through the risky situations easily and preform the rescuing mission perfectly is that robots do not have feelings or emotions. According to Bruemmer (2006), robots do not have the ability to realize or notify any aspect that people do not programmed them to do. In other words, robots are merely machines that cannot feel or recognize what surrounding them without a sophisticated program done by humans. Therefore, as robots do not have the ability of feeling or knowing they could go through inhumane conditions for saving people. Moreover, robots have various capabilities that make them unique enable them to do heavy duties and bear more serio...
