(WHERE ARTIFICIAL INTELIGENCE MEETS THE REAL WORLD)

Created by Matt Romita and Mohammed Hasham for BCS 312 and used in BCS 555

What is Robotics/A.I
Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science that deals with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively. "workers in AI hope to imitate or duplicate intelligence in computers and robots. It is a field of Engineering that covers the mimicking of human behavior. Robotics includes the knowledge of Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical & Computer Science Engineering.

Definition of a Robot ?
"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. Or a simpler version An automatic device that performs functions normally ascribed to humans or a machine in the form of a human.

WHERE THE TERM CAME FROM?


The term robot derives from the Czech word robota, meaning forced work or compulsory service, or robotnik, meaning serf. First used to describe fabricated workers in a fictional 1920s play called Rossums Universal Robots by Czech author Karel Capek.

The Early Stages.

Dr. W. Grey Walter, one of the great pioneers in the field of robotics, develops the first autonomous tortoise-type robots, (Elsie and Elmer) (ElectroMEchanical Robot, Light-Sensitive), designed with wheel motors controlled by very basic electronic circuitry and two vacuum tubes. 1951: Raymond designs the first 'teleoperator' - a device allowing actions to be performed at a distance. Raymonds's device was an articulated arm, used to handle radioactive material.

The Early Stages (cont.)


1968: SRI International, formerly known as the Stanford Research Institute, builds and tests the first mobile robot with vision capability. 'Shakey' was equipped with a television camera, a rangefinder and sensors. Shakey was the first mobile robot that could think and respond to the world around it. 1968: The General Electric Walking Truck was the first manual controlled walking truck.

In Toys
AIBO was designed by Sony. The idea was to create a robot that was cute and could interact with people. AIBO can express emotions of happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear and dislike. It uses sounds and melodies, body language and light. You can talk to AIBO and it'll respond. You can play with it and also give it commands.

Our Times (cont.)


In 1997 Honda produced a robot that was more human-like than any other. Honda's aim was to produce a two-legged robot with the ability to be totally mobile in everyday environments. The P3 can walk around, climb stairs, carry things, pick things up and push things. Its camera-based 'eyes' help it to position itself accurately in its environment and stay balanced when walking or even climbing stairs.

Nanotechnology.
Nanomedicine is a branch of nanotechnology which includes the construction, repair, monitoring and control of the human body at the molecular level. Basically this technology will be comprised of tiny nanomachines and programmable nanorobots which will be able to operate on the human body with greater precision than ever before Created by Matt Romita and Mohammed Hasham for BCS 312 and used in BCS 555 imagined

Telesurgery
The idea of robots performing openheart surgery sounds like science fiction but recently this idea has become a reality.

Telesurgery (cont.)
With the invention of the da Vinci Surgical System, introduced in 1999 by the California company Intuitive Surgical, surgeons can operate on patients while sitting at a computer council from across the room where they control a robot much like playing a video game.

Current Work in Progress


While there is much research in making robotic arms and hands the difficulty lies in making electronic skin, sensitive enough to detect fragile and slippery objects by touch alone. A robot that mimics human speech is also a work in progress.

Ultimate Goal
By 2050 scientists hope to have a soccer team of robots that are capable to work as a team with the ability to run and kick. The ultimate goal is for this team of robots to be able to beat the best soccer team in the world

Final Question
Scientist worry that if we eventually have robots smart enough to do our dirty work for us then they will also be smart enough to refuse to do the work. Then would we suddenly have a robotic-rebellion on our hands?

Robot Ethics

Asimovs laws of robotics.

1st) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2nd) A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3rd) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
