The vision of the future in the 1980’s was filled with robots, hovercrafts, flying cars, and all sorts of high-tech innovations. Although society is not that far advanced in technology, the creation of humanoid robots, personal/business robots, and their vision for the future of robotics, Japan is close to achieving “The Future” according to the 1980’s. Robotics in Japan is skyrocketing to the next level making its way into Japanese culture and the daily lives of many Japanese people.
Robotics is the study of robots, but what exactly is a robot? According to NASA “robots are machines that can be used to do jobs. Some robots can do work by themselves, other robots must always have a person telling them what to do” (NASA n.pag.). For example, a conveyor belt in a factory would be a robot that can do the job on its own, but a crane would be a robot that needs human guidance. Japanese robotics is advancing rapidly with their production of high-tech technology and they currently lead the world in robotics.
Humanoid robots are robots that are made to look like, behave like, and move like...

    Nowadays, technology is a dominant feature in the lives of people around the world. Most of daily life activities involve the use of technology which is expanding every day through scientific innovations. However, such innovations do not always occur in every part of the world, but mostly in technologically developed countries, such as South Korea, the USA and Japan. Presently, the development of robotics science has become a subject of considerable attention in those countries. According to Weng, Chen and Sun (2009, 267), “Technocrats from many developed countries, especially Japan and South Korea, are preparing for the human–robot co-existence society that they believe will emerge by 2030.” The word “robot” was introduced in the beginning of 1920th by the Czech playwright Karel Capek from the Czech word “robota”, meaning “forced labor” (Robertson 2007, 373). According to Robertson (2007, 373), robot, in practical usage, can be defined as an autonomous or semiautonomous device that is used to perform its tasks either controlled by human, fractionally controlled and with human guidance or regardless of external actions that are performed by people. Regrettably, the majority of robots in the past centuries could not operate without human control and intervention. However, the progress in robotics over the past few decades enabled humanity to achieve soaring results in creation of autonomous humanoid robots.

    It is a shared truth that humans often tend to think of robots as nothing more than computer machines made of objects like metal, plastic, silicone and computer chips. However, in truth, a robot’s general purpose is more complex than some know. In order for a robot to function, it must carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations, and programming the specs is difficult task that could take years to finish depending on the purpose of the robot.

This app is unnecessary and we are able to do without it, but it saves time and money. Auto Mee S is a device that is now popular in Japan. It is a smartphone vacuum. This device was created to keep screens smudge-free. It replaces the traditional microfiber cloth. Time magazine released an excerpt talking about newly created robots. Japanese developers introduced a robot that can win at rock, paper, scissors. Brazilian students developed a Rubik’s Cube solver. Cornell and University of Chicago students collaborated and developed a dart thrower. These robots are all useless and there is really no need for them in society, it is just merely a source of entertainment, or just makes life that much easier.

People also send robots in war zones to look for hidden bombs and disable them since it is too hard and too dangerous for a human being . We also send robots to the depths of the ocean and the expanse of space. We don’t send humans in the ocean since they can’t go that deep and we don’t send humans into outer space since there are a lot of planets and places in space human beings can’t go on . Robotics is also a hobby . If you want to make a robot you need to have an sensor that detects what's going on .

    Recently the professors at the Westmoreland County Community College conducted a special program to introduce students to the field of mechatronics and robotics. Robotics is the engineering science and technology of robots (meaning the robot as a machine that could perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomous) mechanics related to electronics, and software. It is an increasingly popular science to develop real intelligence capable of performing many human tasks or just facilitating them. The robot takes care of design not only robots but also to manufacture, implement and arrange them structurally. With the emergence of the concept 'robot' in the early twentieth century, the green light to the development of increasingly autonomous systems is given. An autonomous robot is a robotic device capable of operating by itself in service robotics is where else are lavishing service robots (Kormushev et.al, 2013). Robotics has evolved into autonomous mobile systems, which are those that are able to fend for themsel...

  • Advantages and Disadvantages of Robots

    992 Words  | 2 Pages

    In today's society, robots come in different types and qualities, and robots’ use was mainly in the laboratories and factories; however, that has drastically changed where their uses are changing at a high speed. In addition to that, they have spread throughout the world. The main function of robots is to replace the work that people used to do, or perform tasks that man cannot. A robot is a mechanical or virtual device that uses a computer program, or electronic circuitry, to carry out its functions. In modern science, robotics refers to the study of robots is robotics, which deals with designing, constructing, operating, and using robots and computer systems for controlling and processing information and providing feedbacks. However, as much as robots replace human labor, individuals or organizations can use them in dangerous environments that might be harmful and beneficial to humans. Therefore, to understand the logic behind the creation of robots, one should learn the pros and cons of robotics, in the current society. This is because people are using this technology without having a deep understanding of its effects. However, an objective evaluation of the use of robots, in the modern society, shows that they have a positive influence on human beings, but if the robots were overused, it could lead to a negative side. which shows why human beings should use robots wisely that will result an improvement to their societies and own lives. Robots have become interactive equipment whereby they have become part of human life. In this regard, people use them directly or indirectly to enhance the quality of their lives. However, Sharkey argues that there are ethical issues that arise because of using robots to enhance hu...

In consequence, many research studies and projects regarding robots took place in the last decade. In addition, robots in the society could be one of the essential machines, due to their multitask system which could adjusted to any kind of performance. In general society could use these machines to fill manpower gap in short time with less cost. Therefore, robots can have huge positive effects on different fields of life such as emergency situations, daily chores, and manufacturing industry.
