Besides a flexible dialog system and speech understanding, an anthropomorphic appearance has the potential to support intuitive usage and understanding of a robot, e.g .. human-like facial expressions and deictic gestures can as well be produced and also understood by the robot. As a consequence of our effort in creating an anthropomorphic appearance and to come close to a human-human interaction model for a robot, we decided to use human-like sensors, i...

...The historic event that I chose to address in terms of labor supply and demand was the technology boom of the 1990s. As the technology began to grow, the demand for computers and other electrical devices began to rise. People wanted to bring more of the electronic devices into their homes and their businesses. Car makers began putting technology into vehicles that would allow your windshield wipers to turn on automatically as soon as water hit the windshield. Companies began creating technology that would have automated services answering phones and assisting customers instead of having a real human talking to the customers. This caused the demand for electronic companies to manufacture more of their technology to increase. Stores had to increase their supplies of the new technology because of the high demand that people wanted to have the latest and greatest technology that was coming out. The technology boom did make some lives a little easier, but it also made a large amount of people be become unemployed, because they were not needed to do the jobs anymore. Instead of having people putting cars together, dealerships eventually began to install robotic machines putting the vehicles together alleviating human error. The technology boom began to put people out of their jobs and making it harder for people to get jobs. People had to get educated on the new technology that was coming out so that they could sell it or use it at their place of business. The...

...bodies. Robots on SCM Obviously, it hasn’t turned out that way. It is true that industrial robots have transformed the manufacture of automobiles, among other products. But that kind of automation is a far cry from the versatile, mobile, autonomous creations that so many scientists and engineers have hoped for. In pursuit of such robots, waves of researchers have grown disheartened and scores of start-up companies have gone out of business. It is not the mechanical “body” that is unattainable; articulated arms and other moving mechanisms adequate for manual work already exist, as the industrial robots attest. Rather it is the computer-based artificial brain that is still well below the level of sophistication needed to build a humanlike robot. Nevertheless, I am convinced that the decades-old dream of a useful, general-purpose autonomous robot will be realized in the not too distant future. By 2010 we will see mobile robots as big as people but with cognitive abilities similar in many respects to those of a lizard. The machines will be capable of carrying out simple chores, such as vacuuming, dusting, delivering packages and taking out the garbage. By 2040, I believe, we will finally achieve the original goal of robotics and a thematic mainstay of science fiction: a freely moving machine with the intellectual capabilities of a human being. Reason for Optimism on Robotics Future When it comes to robots, reality still lags science fiction. But, just because robots have not...

...Alex Hare Mrs. Hoekstra ELA, Hour 1 16 january 2018 Robots better than humans? I am going to discuss if robots are really better than humans or not. I feel that humans are better than robots because humans have more abilities like feelings,thoughts, and expression that robots cannot show or do. First, robots cannot show feelings, and emotion like humans can so it is hard to know what a robot is thinking of doing so it could have been a hurtful or a nice act but you can never tell. But with humans you can always tell by how they sound and the reaction they make to the question. If you were to ask a robot about a hostile act and you can't tell because their voice does rise or go down and you can't tell if the robot is lieing or not. Also, humans can think smarter than robots because robots don't have a brain that lets them think like humans do. Robots and humans can and must work together. When it comes to customer service, marketing and design, and...

...thought of by the word robot is that of a mechanical being, somewhat human in shape. Common in science fiction, robots are generally depicted as working in the service of people, but often escaping the control of the people and doing them harm. The word robot comes from the Czech writer Karel Capek's 1921 play? R.U.R.? (Which stands for "Rossum's Universal Robots"), in which mechanical beings made to be slaves for humanity rebel and kill their creators. From this, the fictional image of robots is sometimes troubling, expressing the fears that people may have of a robotized world over which they cannot keep control. The history of real robots is rarely as dramatic, but where developments in robotics may lead is beyond our imagination. Robots exist today. They are used in a relatively small number of factories located in highly industrialized countries such as the United States, Germany, and Japan. Robots are also being used for scientific research, in military programs, and as educational tools, and they are being developed to aid people who have lost the use of their limbs. These devices, however, are for the most part quite different from the androids, or humanlike robots, and other robots of fiction. They rarely take human form, they perform only a limited number of set tasks, and they do not have minds of their own. In fact, it is often hard to distinguish between devices called robots and other modern automated systems. Although the term robot did not come into use until...

...artificial intelligence and learning algorithms in order to create free thinking machines and robots. Humans are much more than just thinking machines. The major problem scientist face is no real understanding of how the brain neurons and action create consciousness. We really do not know what consciousness is and how to replicate it. They are working on it however that would be a heavy task. We do not know what emotions consists of or how to measure it. This is not a tangible variable. Will scientists' study of human emotions ever make computers and humans essentially indistinguishable? This is the million dollar question. Human research has been rewarding in the last 100 years, however I believe there is a finite limit to human understanding. I believe consciousness and emotions are the last frontier to creating a human being from scratch. I am not sure we will be able to reverse engineer the invisible mysteries of the mind. How important is it that they look similar to humans? I believe it is important that the robots look human like. Some of the early machine looking robots added to the fear. Humans tend to fear robots that resemble transformers or like early science fiction looking machines. Will a familiar appearance mean that humans will become more accepting of a growing presence of robots in our daily lives? Yes, I believe a friendly non-violent looking robot will mean that humans will have less fear and be more accepting. There will still be an adjustment...

...use the robot. Scraps of metal put together to make a man made assistant and worker. Every generation it is something new in the news or internet about how computers and robots will help in every day living. There is always talk of what the next best thing a robot will be good for and how they can tweak the newest model to be better then the last. The most recurrent element seems to be the actual revision of improving the robot on a daily basis. Man first made robots to help in homes and factories like in Karel Capek’s “R.U.R”, until the robots turned on them and then humans became the minority race. Once they built them with just a little more than the regular the robots turned on them. They were made to be playmates with children as in Isaac Asimov, “Robbie”, with Gloria being 8 she believed Robbie was her best friend with feelings. This robot did everything for her and with her. Then her mother took Robbie away from her only to have Gloria’s father reunite them and Robbie save Gloria’s life. He, I believe had some type of emotional connection to Gloria. They were pretty basic, couldn’t speak, didn’t eat food and whether they had faces or not was up to the builder himself. They then began to make them a little more sophisticated by adding programs that the robots/computers could understand and respond to humans. Some had faces and programs to understand and carry conversations with humans. We now have robots that run...

...Robotic technology. Robots and robotic tech will play a big role in our lives an how we live and function within the next 20 yrs. Over the next 20 yrs. we will have to adapt to the change, and the way every day task an functions will be done. Over the next 20 yrs. we could possibly see a society were robots replace certain jobs that are being done by humans right now for example with the proper technology metro busses could possibly be driven by pre-planned routes an robots. There are three topics I would like to discuss that I think would sustain both the positive and negative impacts of robots, and robotic tech. Robots will change, and have changed the way surgeries are, and will be performed. There are surgical robots already in use today for example (The Neuro Arm) it’s a non-ferrous robot that was used to remove a 21 year old patients brain tumor while she was being scanned with an MRI (Sofge, 2014). Within the future there will be a new robot introduced into the surgical field the “Da Vinci Xi”. The Da Vinci XI will be able to turn more surgeries into minimally invasive as opposed to large incisions (Sofge, 2014). There are two down sides to using robots in surgery, the first would be if the robot starts experiencing technical and or mechanical issues while performing an operation. And robots would cut the job force by eliminating the need for a lot of people in the operating room. Robots will essentially replace the need for a manual labor work force. Robots have started...

...ROBOTS In the past decades, many things have changed. In terms of living, social life, infrastructures and cultures. Humans have gone through this massive change over the past decades. In today’s world, robots have been playing a vital role in human’s life. Since the creation of the first robot, humans experience a revolutionary new life. Robots make humans life much easy and simple. In the olden days, humans cannot travel long distance due to time limitations, but now humans can travel around the world with the help of moving machines called robots and then there is a whole new creation of - many in humanoid form, and some that take highly practical forms all their own- which can talk, walk, rescue lives and perform dangerous jobs in extreme environments, or takeover ordinary tasks at home while we are out enjoying our lives. Right from healthcare and homecare, to emergency activities, robots are rapidly becoming a fixture in our lives. Although robots would make humans life easier, robots are a threat to mankind. It is an undeniable fact that robots will take over the future. From the first time we saw a toaster pop up by its own, we have casually accepted that robots can be trusted to do things for us. They record our programmes, prepare our meals, play our music, and even run our cars. We just do not see it because these “robots” do not have a face we can talk to. If we just leave them doing such jobs, soon or later humans will become dumber. "Even if my most pessimistic...

...technology and changes in the economic times. Through much reading and access to large bulk of information, I created a superhero, Bosco Genius, a guy who awakens in the morning with a 100 percent access to his brain power. The state realizes and becomes aware of the existence of Bosco. They look for him but with his expertise skills and ability, he dodges the men in black and also fends off the middle school tormentors. The whole process torn the writer or the creator into a rhetoric existence because of the complexity nature of the study. It is reported once that the robotics destroyed and killed human beings within the company. The information was unsubstantiated and untrue since it was maliciously spread to negate the importance of the robots. As a rhetoric, such an instance has never happened and no person has lost life in the company. The three laws of robotics cannot allow them to harm humans and therefore, the information revealed to the public is false and faulty. As a company we have dealt in robotics and they have served to increase the performance of the labour force. However, the public force has a resistance towards the robotics with several claims that the robotics have an effect on the cultural and social setting of the society. The loggerhead position of the public towards the robotics and the whole company has created poor working relation and existence between the two entities. As a rhetoric, I have to work towards...

...AUTOMATED GUIDED VEICHLE BASED SERVING ROBOTS FOR HOTELS Abstract: This project describes the techniques for emerging, scrutinising, scheming, monitoring and improving the food supply delivery within hotel area. A microcontroller based line following robot is advanced to distribute the required food items to the needy consumer. A line follower robot that can detect and follow a line drawn on the floor which is black in colour. An IR sensor can be close-fitting near the food serving tray to sense the serving plate is in tray or not. When it reaches near the consumer table, serving mechanism actuation starts. It highs the tray up to height of the consumer’s table and it serves the food items to the table by pushing the plate easily. After serving, again it returns back to its original position. All actuating mechanism are controlled by time controlled movement. One more IR sensor can be attached with the robot side tray, so that it senses any hindrance present in their way and can alarm. 1.Introduction: A Robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional wheeler-dealer designed to move solid, portions, outfits or specialized devices through adjustable planned gesticulations...

As a part of this program, we are to build a robot that is able to play a game. The team that I am a part of is called Exploding Bacon Team 1902. I really wanted to be involved in this club because I have a love for science and engineering. When I get older, I want to pursue a career in these areas. For the past 5 years our team puts on two, week-long summer camps: one for second through fifth graders and another for sixth through eighth graders. The objective of this camp is to teach the kids about science and technology and how both impact our future. There were about 30 children in the camp each week, coming from different schools in the Orlando...

...A similar shift in Deckard’s perception of androids can be explored through the progression of his relationship with Rachel Rosen, an android and a member of the Rosen Association. Subsequent to the killing of Luba Luft, Deckard converses with Phil Resch regarding his newfound empathy for specific androids. Having experienced these feelings previously, Resch offers Deckard advice on the rationale behind this apparent sense of empathy: If it’s love toward a woman or an android imitation, it’s sex. Wake up and face yourself, Deckard. You wanted to go to bed with a female type of android-- nothing more, nothing less. I felt that way, on one occasion. When I had just started bounty hunting.
