Abstract
Artificial Intelligence, AI, is slowly making its way into society; the next big step would be to integrate AI systems into homes. AI would be a huge help to people of all age groups allowing for security and help in completing the everyday tasks that keep the house in order. A master system that controls climate, security, appliances, and domestic robots was implemented to help make families lives easier. We concluded that AI systems are ready to take the next step to home automation and would greatly benefit from mass production of these systems.
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence has made large strides in past years; the next step would be integrating AI systems into office buildings and homes. The goal of this research is to determine whether or not people would benefit from having AI systems in their homes. The National Institute of Standards and Technology funded our entire research with a ten million dollar budget. This budget given to us allowed almost limitless resources, and we were able to fulfill all aspects of our research.
Artificial Intelligence is a growing point of research in the field of Computer Science. There have been questions as to whether or not Artificial Intelligent robots are ready to be integrated into society. In this section, the advantages and disadvantages of Artificial Intelligent robots are reviewed, as well as obstacles Artificial Intelligent machines face as they are being developed such as ethics versus logic. This paper hopes to clarify some research done and determine whether or not Artificial Intelligence is ready to join humans in homes and as offices.
There are numerous benefits of having Artificial Intelligent Robots in society. For one, AI robots will be able to complete low-level tasks such as a gas station attendant (1). In order to complete this task, the robot would need to communicate with both the customer and its owner. Therefore the robot must
