The idea of the robot servant is one that has been explored in great detail by popular science fiction, most notably by Isaac Asimov and the film adaptations of his work. Whilst the household robot has slowly begun creeping into our lives it’s not in the manner fiction predicted.
Most predictions saw us being tended to by humanoid automatons capable of making decisions and performing many different complex tasks. (Asimov, 1950)
The reality however, is machines which perform a highly specific task and function within a strict set of criteria rather than with the fluid learning of a human.
The most obvious example of this is the cleaning products of the company iRobot. Most famous for their robotic vacuum cleaner the Roomba, they 've also made robots dedicated to mopping and scrubbing floors and cleaning gutters.
These are robots which actually have a use; robots designed exclusively for entertainment value like the robotic dog have been in circulation since the late 90’s. Entertainment robotics has continued to grow since then to the point that you can now buy anything form remote control drones [4] to usb nerf turrets [5] from almost any online retailer.

It’s theorised that this will happen when we create “True AI” basically when a computer becomes able to learn and adapt like a human by itself. It’s not uncommon to hear tech news sights reporting on how the singularity is just years away. To me this seems incredibly sensationalist, we are still nowhere near having computers reason as humans do. People frequently point to AI’s such as clever bot and igod, these programs are imitations whose conversations fall apart after a few sentences and even an AI possessed with a good portion of general knowledge like IBM’s Watson cannot hold a real human
When we think about the drones we always associated them with dirty works where humans don’t have to get their hands dirty . But in reality we can also use drones at many other places .For example we can use delivery drones to deliver stuff . Drones that are used for commercial purposes are called the commercial drones. Commercial drones are same as drones but they are smaller in the size. Commercial Drones are usually controlled by the user who can set the speed and height ,when drones take off. Delivery drones can handle up to -115 to 122 degree temperature and handle up to 40 mile per hour wind. Commercial drones are used for multiple purposes . One of their major purposes is to deliver the item . Amazon Ceo has currently stated that they are working on the Drone delivery system which will deliver the item within the half an hour after the pay . Commercial Drones are also used for surveillance purposes. Surveillance applications include livestock monitoring, wildfire mapping, pipeline security, home security, road patrol, and anti-piracy. They also used in commercial and motion picture film making. So basically we can use this technology to make the service faster .
Initially, the technological toys in question do not teach their owners the importance of responsibility. Consider the following question Frank Mullin poses in his article Love In the Time of Robots: “...what does a child
to be more than robotic, there must be something not just unknown but still undecided”

Some would say the attempt to make a robot is an attempt to 'play god' and to recreate man. Others would argue that robots might become so intelligent that they would take over and replace humans. There is no better example of this than the movie Terminator, which begins with a world ruled by machines who are trying to kill the remaining human population. The actual field of robotics however, has produced many products which we take for granted. The clock is a household item that was developed in the beginning stages of machine ...
This paper gives some insight into the vast subject of artificial intelligence and its use in the business world. Artificial intelligence is an incredibly interesting topic; it is used throughout the world in many different applications. Many do not know what artificial intelligence is or how it used, even though they are surrounded by it on a daily basis. To learn more about this topic it is important to do extensive research online by reading many different academic journals and articles. This paper will give the reader a better understanding of artificial intelligence and how it is being used in transportation and manufacturing businesses. These are just two small sections in the wide subject of AI (artificial intelligence) but give a bigger
Asimov’s robots can be described as clumsy, hard-working, cost-efficient, soulless, strong, fast, obedient, human-made, a cleaner better breed, more human than man.
When most people think of artificial intelligence they might think of a scene from I, Robot or from 2001: A Space Odyssey. They might think of robots that highly resemble humans start a revolution against humanity and suddenly, because of man’s creation, man is no longer the pinnacle of earth’s hierarchy of creatures. For this reason, it might scare people when I say that we already utilize artificial intelligence in every day society. While it might not be robots fighting to win their freedom to live, or a defense system that decides humanity is the greatest threat to the world, artificial intelligence already plays a big role in how business is conducted today.
Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, allows a machine to function as if the machine has the capability to think like a human. While we are not expecting any hovering cars anytime soon, artificial intelligence is projected to have a major impact on the labor force and will likely replace about half the workforce in the United States in the decades to come. The research in artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly at an unstoppable rate. So while many people feel threatened by the possibility of a robot taking over their job, computer scientists actually propose that robots would benefit a country’s efficiency of production, allowing individuals to reap the benefits of the robots. For the advantage of all, researchers and analysts have begun to mend the past ideas of human-robot interaction. They have pulled inspiration from literary works of Isaac Asimov whom many saw as the first roboticist ahead of his time, and have also gotten ideas of scholarly research done by expert analysts. These efforts have began to create an idea of a work force where humans and robots work together in harmony, on a daily basis.
Scientific progress makes huge milestones toward developing new advanced technologies which are more and more present in human lives. Today robots replace people in many spheres such as health care, security and military, industry, education, entertainment and science. Role of robots becomes more significant because they are able to do the job which people are not able to perform well. Sometimes people are too lazy to do some routine work, due to such situation those tasks could be delegated to machines. People’s life become more technology based what makes demand for efficient robots larger. Engineers say that today robots look like machines, but in near future robots will have more human appearance, today they do some simple job, but in near future much more complicated tasks would be trusted to them. History of robotics goes far to the history when the ancient Greeks describes first devices that people were projected to fly to the sky like birds. In fact, heart of any robot is some program that direct the device and control it actions. Robot cannot perform the tasks that was not programmed in it and this if the factor what makes it quite limited in its actions. Current studies in robotics are aimed to remove those disadvantages and make robots more functional and universal through development of artificial intelligence that can operate independently. Curiosity of world community to robotics increase every day what make all the research and inventions in robotics more demanded. History of robots, resent achievement and future perspectives of robotics have to be studies and researched to understand what machines can give to humanity and what pros and cons exist in the r...
From the first imaginative thought to manipulate nature to the development of complex astronomical concepts of space exploration, man continues to this day to innovate and invent products or methods that improve and enhance humankind. Though it has taken 150 million years to reach the present day, the intellectual journey was not gradual in a linear sense. If one were to plot significant events occurring throughout human existence, Mankind’s ability to construct new ideas follows a logarithmic path, and is rapidly approaching an asymptote, or technological singularity. This singularity event has scientists both supporting and rejecting the concept of an imaginative plateau; the largest topic discussed is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). When this technological singularity is reached, it is hypothesized that man’s greatest creation, an artificial sapient being, will supersede human brain capacity.
...g to a bank to deposit a check, it can be done through a bank app on a smartphone or tablet where you take a picture of a check and it is deposited in your account. 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.
I don’t think there is any reason for these robots to have every ability that a human does. There is no way they are going to have the intelligence a human does. Artificial Intelligence is just going to bring more harm into our communities. We can’t trust the robots doing the “everyday” human activities, they are going to lead to unemployment, and will lead to laziness causing more obesity.
The operations of the robots have also advanced from simple hard-stop, one-function, hydraulic actuated robots to the more sophisticated, high-precision, servo controlled robots that can be reprogrammed to do many different jobs.
... major hurdles in the field right now, but when they are jumped over, the sky is the limit. Robots are starting to emulate humankind the best that they can, and soon, they will be like humans, with the ability to think, and the ability to decide. That world will come soon, but now, we can only wait and try our best.
