ROBOTICS(WHERE ARTIFICIAL INTELIGENCE

MEETS THE REAL WORLD)


2/28


What is Robotics/A.I

Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer sciencethat deals with writing computer programs that can solve

problems creatively. "workers in AI hope to imitate or

duplicate intelligence in computers and robots.

It is a field of Engineering that covers the mimicking

of human behavior.

Robotics includes the knowledge of Mechanical,

Electronics, Electrical & Computer Science Engineering.

WHERE THE TERM CAME FROM?

The term robot derives from the Czechword robota, meaning forced work or

compulsory service, or robotnik, meaning

serf. First used to describe fabricated workers in

a fictional 1920s play calledRossums

Universal Robots by Czech author KarelCapek.

HISTORY OF ROBOTS

The Early Stages. Our Times.

The Future.


8/28


The Early Stages.

Dr. W. Grey Walter, one of the great pioneers in the fieldof robotics, develops the first autonomous tortoise-type

robots, (Elsie and Elmer) (ElectroMEchanical Robot,

Light-Sensitive), designed with wheel motors controlled

by very basic electronic circuitry and two vacuum tubes. 1951: Raymond designs the first 'teleoperator' - a device

allowing actions to be performed at a distance.

Raymonds's device was an articulated arm, used to handle

radioactive material.

The Early Stages (cont.)

1968: SRI International, formerly known as the StanfordResearch Institute, builds and tests the first mobile robot

with vision capability. 'Shakey' was equipped with a

television camera, a rangefinder and sensors. Shakey was

the first mobile robot that could think and respond to the

world around it.

1968: The General Electric Walking Truck was the first

manual controlled walking truck.

In Military (Security).

Bomb disposal robotsmake a dangerous job

a little less hazardous.

They're designed to

search for, locate andneutralise explosive

devices.

Research & Space

In Biology. Exploring the outer space.

In Toys

AIBO was designed bySony. The idea was to

create a robot that was

cute and could interact

with people. AIBO can

express emotions of

happiness, sadness, anger,

surprise, fear and dislike.

It uses sounds and

melodies, body languageand light. You can talk to

AIBO and it'll respond.

You can play with it and

also give it commands.


17/28


Our Times (cont.)

In 1997 Honda produced arobot that was morehuman-like than any other.Honda's aim was toproduce a two-leggedrobot with the ability to be

totally mobile in everydayenvironments. The P3 canwalk around, climb stairs,carry things, pick thingsup and push things. Its

camera-based 'eyes' help itto position itselfaccurately in itsenvironment and staybalanced when walking oreven climbing stairs.

The Future

Nanotechnology. Telesurgery.


19/28


Nanotechnology.

Nanomedicine is a branchofnanotechnology which

includes the construction,

repair, monitoring and

control of the human body

at the molecular level.

Basically this technology

will be comprised of tiny

nanomachines and

programmablenanorobots which will be

able to operate on the

human body with greater

precision than ever beforeima ined


20/28


Telesurgery

The idea of robotsperforming open-

heart surgery sounds

like science fiction but

recently this idea hasbecome a reality.


21/28


Telesurgery (cont.)

With the invention of theda Vinci Surgical

System, introduced in

1999 by the California

company Intuitive

Surgical, surgeons can

operate on patients while

sitting at a computer

council from across the

room where they control arobot much like playing a

video game.


22/28


Current Work in Progress

While there is muchresearch in making robotic

arms and hands the

difficulty lies in making

electronic skin, sensitive

enough to detect fragile

and slippery objects by

touch alone.

A robot that mimics

human speech is also a

work in progress.


23/28


Ultimate Goal

By 2050 scientistshope to have a soccer

team of robots that are

capable to work as a

team with the abilityto run and kick.

The ultimate goal is

for this team of robots

to be able to beat the

best soccer team in the

world


24/28


Final Question

Scientist worry that ifwe eventually haverobots smart enough to

do our dirty work forus then they will alsobe smart enough torefuse to do the work.

Then would wesuddenly have arobotic-rebellion onour hands?

Robot Ethics

1st

) A robot may not injure a human beingor, through inaction, allow a human

being to come to harm.

2nd) A robot must obey orders given it by

human beings except where such

orders would conflict with the FirstLaw.

3rd) A robot must protect its own existence

as long as such protection does not

conflict with the First or Second Law.

Asimovs laws of

robotics.
