Robotics and artificial intelligence is the way of the future. Imagine sitting at work and your co-worker is a robot, not just a robot but one who looks like a human, seems a bit far fetched but as predicted by The National Intelligence Council(NIC), a United States government think-tank and research group, technologies will be advanced enough to assume low skilled jobs by the year 3025(Lohr, Steve). Generations beyond this day and age will find it normal to talk to computers just as Siri on the I-phone has become apart of our society. With proper support for emerging technologies, we can have intelligent transportation networks that run as efficiently as factories(Noor, Ahmed K). “Our young children and grandchildren will think it is completely natural to talk to machines that look at them and understand them,”said Eric Horvitz, a Microsoft research laboratory computer scientist.(Lohr, Steve) Robotics and artificial intelligence presence in society is increasing greatly every day with increases in technology.
Born in Petrovichi, Russia, sometime in late 1919 or early 1920, immigrated to America with his family when he was three, and grew up in Brooklyn New York, Issac Asimov, considered to be one of the leading writers in the genre of science fiction , advanced societies perspective on robots enormously.(“One Robot”) Issac Asimov created three “laws” for robots; a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, a robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law, and a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    Issac Asimov's I, Robot 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. Robots can be caring, gentle, self-aware, creative, intelligent and also evil, rebellious. Robots are made out of metal, plastic, aluminum, gears, bolts, wheels, sensors, memory chips, and other gadgets. TEXT STUDY 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.

    Isaac Asimov, a Russian-born American was born on January 2, 1920. In Petrovichi Russia, he then moved to the U.S. with his family at a very young age. They moved to the eastern side of Brooklyn, where he then became a professor in biochemistry. He was also a remarkable and very prolific writer. In the year 1950, Asimov released the story collection he called I, Robot, which was viewed upon construct relationships. In one short story, Robot Dreams, Asimov uses the characters to represent symbols in the real world. The characters are used to represent certain problems and issues Asimov sees in the world, along with solutions to these problems. The characters in the short story exhibit characteristics found in modern day individuals, chiefly

    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.

  • Robots for People: Do We Really Need Them?

    1493 Words  | 3 Pages

    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...

  • Benefits Of Artificial Intelligence

    The approach to artificial intelligence should be proceeded with caution. Throughout recent years and even decades before, it has been a technological dream to produce artificial intelligence. From movies, pop culture, and recent technological advancements, there is an obsession with robotics and their ability to perform actions that require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence has become a real and approachable realization today, but should be approached with care and diligence. Humans can create advanced artificial intelligence but should not because of the harm they may cause, the monumental advancement needed in the technology, and that its harm outweighs its benefits.

    Artificial Intelligence “is the ability of a human-made machine to emulate or simulate human methods for the deductive and inductive acquisition and application of knowledge and reason” (Bock, 182). The early years of artificial intelligence were seen through robots as they exemplified the advances and potential, while today AI has been integrated society through technology. The beginning of the thought of artificial intelligence happened concurrently with the rise of computers and the dotcom boom. For many, the utilization of computers in the world was the most advanced role they could ever see machines taking. However, life has drastically changed from the 1950s. This essay will explore the history of artificial intelligence, discuss the

    Robots have many tasks to accomplish in the world, from doing work to playing with humans. Generally, there are few types of robots for these jobs. There are general-purpose robots used to do many functions like walking around or talking to people. Some of these can move by themselves, and some of them try to mimic humans. Robots are also used to work rapidly and efficiently. Factory robots are usually cheaper than human workers, and they can work more efficiently. They can assemble...
