Dr. Matt Oliver English 112 September 28th 2010 Robots are not human beings It is almost impossible to create a creature which is exactly the same as humans. Most of the robots can think as logically as we can and they can maybe act approximately the same we do but they hardly ever can show feelings. Not be able to think cognitive is one of the major problems in the short science fiction story “Liar” by Isaac Asimov. Herbie‚ a RB-34 robot‚ has the gift to read others mind. He is also trained

Robotic Development The researchers in “New Robot Has Come to Conquer Human Race…With Snacks!” By Aaron Saenz are on the frontier of robot development. The researchers at Carnegie Mellon are developing a robot named SnackBot which goes around offering snacks to people. In the experiment of SnackBot in the workplace the researchers were observing the social interaction of humans and robots as well as the aesthetics. They were determining if it was well received‚ if its height was too small or too

Robots on Earth By Shelly Linger The word “robot” brings to mind images of mechanical beings taking over the earth and destroying humanity. Truth is‚ the robots of today are nothing like the evil mechanical monsters of movies or books. Robots do not harm the human population.
