• For many years robots have excited people’s imaginations – whether in books, films or amusement parks. However it is only recently robots have left the realms of fiction. Even now thousands of robots are at work around the world… but are any of them actually intelligent? Definitions • Artificial Intelligence – the branch of computer science aiming to produce machines which can imitate intelligent human behavior. • Computer – an electronic device that processes data according to a set of instructions. • Robot – a machine programmed to perform specific tasks in a human manner. • • “Well sure he looks like a portable toilet, but inside “He’s tothat’s do two things at once, he’s allprogrammed circuitry, and what counts in anhe listens to me and he helps with the housework. So take a hike dirt-bag.” android relationship” Robots have always been creatures of the imagination and in that respect have existed long before we even had computers. Our perception of robots doesn’t seem to be based on our historical attempts to build robots, but instead the numerous books and movies featuring humanoid machines. • • Meanwhile the robot we have on earth differ slightly from the intelligent androids we anticipated. Ninety percent of all robots work in factories and are nothing more than than a robotic arm controlled by a computer and attached to a stationary base, “The cost of piano lessons was a nightmare” Robot engineer says “six legs better than four” • Robots have and will continue to replace millions of jobs in industry. Most of the products we buy today have been at some stage manufactured by computer operated machines. Naturally robots do unpleasant and dangerous tasks so humans no longer have to. “So if this is play-dough then what did I just give to my kids?…………… Oh shit” • • There are currently many limits dictating what a robot can and cannot do. At the moment engineers are still grappling with problems like making a robot move, see and hear – but who’s going to make a robot think? Computers can follow instructions, but will they ever be able to make their own decisions? The awkward task of introducing a robot to its dumber cousin – the refrigerator. “And as you can see the robot is now reinserting the pin into the grenade… no wait… it’s seems to be having difficultly.”
