If you lived with machines how would you act? Brian Aldiss wrote the book “Who Can Replace Man” because of the idea he had about how our world would turn out in the future. Will it turn out like the book? In the story “Who can Replace Man” Brian Aldiss wrote about how the robots were becoming a crucial part in our society‚ and how the humans were basically becoming extinct. He wrote about how humans were pretty much lazy‚ having robots do the job for humans‚ and humas had to give the commands to

A human of height 1.8m moves with a constant speed of 0.9 m/s along the speci¯ed direct paths to radar inside the forest. The human is modeled using PEC ellipsoids‚ created based on the Boulic model as described in Section 2. The forest is modeled using identical trunks of 3 meters height and 11 cm radius which are distributed uniformly inside the 40£40m2 region. PEC is assumed for the trunk material properties as well as the ground. A trunk density of 3.8% (#/m2) is assumed‚ which amounts to 35

Dystopian films‚ as an artistic medium‚ often convey significant themes‚ which can serve as a gateway for exploring impending issues and fears that society possesses. Alex Proyas’ film i‚Robot is used as an embodiment for this‚ as it depicts the tale of Del Spooner‚ who is trapped in a throw-away society‚ where humans are at a grave danger of being overrun by technological advancements. Throughout the film‚ Spooner befriends a scientist and a unique robot‚ who together‚ work to save society from

Slender fingers traced the soft contours of a beginning-to-age face‚ outlining every feature. Every wrinkle. Only a few weeks old‚ and aware less than half that time‚ the AI appeared as if she had already lived several decades. A third of an average lifespan for humans. But the fact was‚ 73314 was not human‚ despite the uncanny resemblance. She was an android‚ designed with a purpose to serve. To obey any of her owner’s command. Yet‚ looking at herself for the first time‚ the AI could not help but

CHAPTER 1: AIM The aim of this project is to copy the hand and arm motions of a human operator and repeat the same motions on a human like robotic arm system‚ simultaneously. Introduction A robot is an automatic or virtually intelligent agent that can carry out tasks robotically or with some supervision‚ typically with the aid of a remote control. In practice‚ a robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by means of computer and electronic

Science-fiction movies such as Terminator have predicted a war between humans and machines. These machines due to their advanced artificial intelligence would probably want to control the whole world and to surpass their creators. Is this scenario plausible or is it just a “human fantasy” with a view to selling books and films? On the one hand‚ if we think of all the movies based on the revolution of the machines‚ it seems possible that‚ in the future‚ man will have to wage wars on machines (as

. 2. Explain why a product or system might have an overall reliability that is low even though it is comprised of components that have fairly high reliabilities. 4. A product engineer has developed the following equation for the cost of a system component: C _ (10 P ) 2 ‚ where C is the cost in dollars and P is the probability that the component will operate as expected. The system is composed of two identical components‚ both of which must operate for the system to operate. The engineer

From a very young age I had aspirations of becoming an engineer. As a child I used to open up my toy cars and robots‚ to take a look inside them‚ to check how they walk on their own. I used to take a screw driver and some old motors and pretend that I was really working hard to fix them. It was then when I realized that there was something that made these toy robots walk and that there was some reason why electricity lights up a light bulb and that was how physics started to fascinate me. The reason

Can our society survive progress? Recently‚ I watched Ex Machina‚ a science-fiction movie about a robot with artificial intelligence. This film raises a substantial question: Can our society survive progress? I don’t think so. I believe that pushing technological development too far could put all humanity in great danger… First and foremost‚ artificial intelligence is going to steal our jobs. In the coming years‚ many robots will take the place of human beings to do easy and repetitive tasks
