fiction movies have depicted robots as very sophisticated machines built by humans to perform complex operations‚ to work with humans in safe critical missions‚ in hostile environments‚ or more often to pilot and control spaceships in galactic travels. At the same time‚ however‚ intelligent robots have also been depicted as dangerous machines‚ capable of working against man through wicked plans. In the Terminator the view of the future is even more catastrophic: robots will become intelligent and

It’s certainly the most controversial: Everybody agrees that a robot can work in an …………………...........‚ but there’s no consensus on whether a robot can ever be intelligent. Like the term "robot" itself‚ artificial intelligence is hard to define. Ultimate AI would be a recreation of the human thought process - a man-made machine with our intellectual abilities.

Despite the technology introduced and the length of the story‚ it was never confusing‚ nor would a reader ever be lost. Asimov’s

The study of robot kinematics‚ require a unified methodology to identify the variables of a robot’s or manipulator’s joints and links. Co-ordinate Frames Robotic kinematics depends on the use of right handed cartesian frames of reference. Manipulator Geometry A manipulator consists of two types of joints‚ connected by a link. Link A link is a solid mechanical structure which connects two joints. The main purpose of a link is to maintain a fixed relationship between the joints at

Overall I did like this movie‚ it had some dull moments because of the repeated concepts‚ but it was still really good. For instance‚ it seemed to drag on‚ he hadn’t even gotten into the toy store until about half the movie was done. It also had a lot of predictable moments.
