Davis October 10‚ 2011 The film that I chose for this assignment is” I‚ Robot.” The film is set in the year 2035 in Chicago. The director is Alex Proyas and stars Will Smith and Bridget Monahan. What I will try to show is that in the near future robotic mechanisms will be able to have some sort of loyalty. This story is told through the eyes of Det. Del Spooner (Will Smith) He has a dislike of the robots because of an experience he had with one and because of this there is no trust for

Comparative Analysis Twenty years ago‚ I read a few books about robots‚ and I found robots very odd from human beings. At that time‚ few people might talk about robots during their free time. However‚ robots are not already a strange term for people today. As science and technology rapidly develop‚ robots seem to lose their mystery gradually and have been used in many fields. Thus‚ some problems caused by the development and use of robots emerge. Whether or not people should apply ethics to humanoids

intelligence. I figured it was a no brainer as a watched the robots on the big screen think and make decisions on their own without any human input. Later on‚ as an adult you begin to realize that movies are fiction and it would take a very intelligent human to create artificial life that could make its own decisions and function like a human. With the help of Hollywood‚ when we think of artificial intelligence‚ we tend to think of immense robots that walk‚ talk‚ appear human‚ and also make friends with

t’s 2035 A.D.‚ where robots are everyday objects and are programmed to live alongside humans. Detective Del Spooner is called out to investigate the apparent suicide of the scientist behind these robots‚ Dr. Alfred Lanning. Spooner suspects that the death might not be a suicide‚ but the result of one of the robots. All robots are programmed by three laws‚ but Spooner starts to wonder if a robot can in fact feel emotions‚ and possibly murder. But if Spooner’s suspicions are true‚ he is going to have

Czech Author Karel Capek‚ the man who coined the term robot‚ an army of mechanical monsters that succeeded in taking over the world‚ in his 1921 play R.U.R. Today‚ real-life versions are starting to find places in factories and plants‚ which are taking over a number of our industries most monotonous jobs. Unlike the robots of the past‚ which are usually stationary and must be manned by production workers‚ these newer‚ smarter‚ industrial robots can be moved from job to job and programmed to perform

Any time during the day or night‚ you can see 60 robot arms at 10 production lines polishing the modules‚ a job that required 650 workers in the past. According to reports‚ 90 per cent of the factory’s workforce comprises robots‚ with just a few human workers to monitor the machinery. Elsewhere in the world‚ Ports of Auckland plans to replace 50 jobs with Autostrads‚ which are 15m tall‚ automated straddle carriers. These container-stacking robots can stack up to four containers high and would result

society that habitually creates culture‚ the use and innovative birth of technology has become ingrained within our own. Even more so‚ technology is replacing jobs that were once occupied by people and we are becoming more dependent on its convenience. Robots‚ every day‚ are being created to simplify tasks‚ are being coded to respond to orders‚ to learn‚ to observe and to mimic humanistic features. Many hope to create artificial intelligence that has human characteristics such as self-awareness‚ emotions

ROBOTS IN PLASTIC SURGERY When deciding to have a plastic surgery‚ do you totally believe that the surgeon’s hands can bring you the perfect result without mistakes? If you are still confused about saying “yes” or “no”‚ why don’t you think about a robotic surgery? Robotics is a modern technology and today most of the things are being automated with the help of robots. Robotic equipments that are available for the medical industry to use are great and they actually benefit surgical procedures. Therefore
