8of26 Movie Robot Summary
Robots in films and on TV tend to:– Move naturally and easily – often faster, stronger
and more nimble than us– Be extremely intelligent– Possess rich and engaging personalities– Have the capacity to display emotions– Be able to speak naturally and understand
speech without any problems– Often want to take over the world!

10of26 Real World Robots
The major areas in which robotics are used today are:
– Industrial robots– Military robots– Space robots– Domestic robots– Entertainment robots– Robots in academia

11of26 Industrial Robots
Robots have seen their most widespread use in industrial manufacturing
– Car manufacture– Pharmaceutical manufacturing– Computer processor manufacturing - Intel
Mostly static robots (robotics arms), but some mobile robots are also used

13of26 Military Robots
There is a massive amount of research going on into using robotics for military purposes
There are also massive questions as to whether this is the right thing to do

14of26 Robots In Space
Space also offers massive potential for applications of roboticsHowever, these robots need to be extremely reliable – we can’t zip up there and turn them back over if the fall down!

The NASA Mars Rovers launched in 2003 are one of the best examples of this
They are still up there!

Although we have been promised robots at home for years, it has yet to really happen
There have been two really good example though:
– Roomba by the iRobot Coporation– RoboMower by Friendly Robotics

20of26 Research Robots
Robotics is an extremely active research area
Not only are new techniques in robotics being discovered all of the time, but spin off technologies are being used in other areas

22of26 Ethics & Robots
Will we end up with Terminator?Asimov’s Laws
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
