ADVANCEMENTS

TELEVISON SET TV
- is a source of information or communication
and media plays a very significant role in
everyone's life. In today's modern society, media
has become a very big parts of our life. Its duty is
to inform, educate and entertain. TV like a bridge
between the governing bodies and general public
 MOBILE PHONES
- Mobile Phone makes people to stay connected
with others and provide the user with a sense of
security. In the event of emergency, having a cell
phone can allow help to reach you quickly and
could possibly save lives. The importance of cell
phones goes way beyond the ability to make or
receive phone calls.
 COMPUTER
- Computers make people's lives easier and
more comfortable: they provide opportunities for
staying in touch to billions of people who may very
well be in different parts of the world. Computers
play a vital role in every field. They aid industrial
processes, they find application in medicine; they
are the reason why software industries developed
and flourished and they play an important role in
education

ROBOTICS AND
HUMANITY
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT ROBOTICS?

How would you define robotics?

ROBOTICS

o A robot is type of automated machine that can execute

specific tasks with little or no human intervention and
with speed and precision .the field of robotics which
deals with robot design, engineering and operation .
o ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCTS OF THE INNOVATIVE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE

o ROBOTS ARE NOW WIDELY USED AS SERVICE ROBOTS. THESE PARTICULAR ROBOTS DO
SPECIFIC TASKS BUT FOCUS MAINLY IN ASSISTING THEIR EVERYDAY TASKS

o IFR AND UNECE

o A ROBOT IS ACTUATED MECHANISM PROGRAMMABLE IN TWO MORE AXES WITH A DEGREE

OF AUTONOMY, MOVING WITHIN ITS ENVIRONMENT TO PERFORM INTENDED TASKS.

o A PERSONAL SERVICE ROBOT OR A SERVICE ROBOT FOR PERSONAL USE IS SERVICE

ROBOT USED NONCOMMERCIAL TASK, USUALLY BY LAYPERSONS. EXAMPLE ARE
DOMESTIC SERVANT ROBOT AUTOMATED WHEELCHAIR PERSONAL MOBILITY ASSIST
ROBOT, AND PET EXERCISING ROBOT.
o GERMANY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COUNTRIES TO DEVELOP SERVICE ROBOTS. AS PART OF THE
GERMAN FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND RESEARCH “SERVICE ROBOTICS INNOVATION
LEAD INITIATIVE” IT SPONSORED A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT .

o DESIRE (DEUTSCHE SERVICE ROBOTICS INITIATIVE GERMANY SERVICE ROBOTICS INITIATIVE

WHICH WAS LAUNCHED ON OCTOBER 1, 2005 THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL
OBJECTIVES(DESIRE,2009)

o THE EARLIEST CONCEPTION OF ROBOTS CAN BE TRACED AROUND 3000B.C FROM THE
EGYPTIANS THEIR WATER CLOCKS USED HUMAN FIGURINES TO STRIKE THE HOUR BELLS

o IN EARLY 1950”S BY GEORGE DEVOL “ ULTIMATE” WAS HIS FIRST INVENTION FROM THE WORDS
“UNIVERSAL AUTOMATION

WHAT ARE THE EXAMPLES OF ROBOTICS THAT
YOU KNEW?
 TYPES OF ROBOTS AND
THEIR EXAMPLES

o PRE-PROGRAMMED ROBOTS
PRE-PROGRAMMED ROBOTS OPERATE
IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT WHERE
THEY DO SIMPLE, MONOTONOUS TASKS.
AN EXAMPLE OF A PREPROGRAMMED
ROBOT WOULD BE A MECHANICAL ARM ON
AN AUTOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY LINE. THE
ARM SERVES ONE FUNCTION — TO WELD A
DOOR ON, TO INSERT A CERTAIN PART
INTO THE ENGINE, ETC. — AND IT'S JOB IS
TO PERFORM THAT TASK LONGER, FASTER
AND MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN A HUMAN.
AUGMENTING ROBOTS

AUGMENTING ROBOTS EITHER

ENHANCE CURRENT HUMAN
CAPABILITIES OR REPLACE THE
CAPABILITIES A HUMAN MAY HAVE
LOST. SOME EXAMPLES OF
AUGMENTING ROBOTS ARE ROBOTIC
PROSTHETIC LIMBS OR
EXOSKELETONS USED TO LIFT HEFTY
WEIGHTS.
 HUMANOID ROBOTS

HUMANOID ROBOTS ARE ROBOTS THAT LOOK LIKE

AND/OR MIMIC HUMAN BEHAVIOR. THESE ROBOTS
USUALLY PERFORM HUMAN-LIKE ACTIVITIES (LIKE
RUNNING, JUMPING AND CARRYING OBJECTS), AND
ARE SOMETIMES DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE US, EVEN
HAVING HUMAN FACES AND EXPRESSIONS.
o ROBOTS PLAY DIFFERENT ROLES NOT ONLY IN THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE IN THE SOCIETY AS A
WHOLE .THEY ARE PRIMARILY TO EASE THE WORKLOAD OF MANKIND. THEY WERE INVENTED
TOME MAKE LIFE MORE EFFICIENT OF DOING. THERE ARE ALSO ROBOTS WHICH ARE MADE FOR
PLEASURE TO BE SPECIFIC THESE TYPES OF ROBOTS PERFORM ACTIVITIES ENTERTAIN PEOPLE.

o THEY ALSO PERFORM DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES BUT THEY ARE USUALLY CHILD FRIENDLY OTHER
EXAMPLE OF ROBOTS ARE THOSE WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN MOVIES.ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
ROBOTS ARE VERY FAMOUS IS BECAUSE MOVIES.

o ROBOTS ALSO HAVE THEIR OWN SET OF RULES AND CHARACTERISTIC THAT DEFINED WHAT A
GOOD ROBOTS IS THESE LAW WERE FORMULATED BY ISAAC ASIMOV BACK IN THE 1940S WHEN
HE WAS THINKING OF THE ETHICAL CONSEQUENCES OF ROBOTS.
 ROLES PLAYED BY ROBOTICS

ROBOTS PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES IN THE LIVES OF HUMANS AS IT IS USED IN MANY APPLICATIONS.
o MEDICINE IN THE WORLD OF MEDICINE, ROBOTS HAVE PLAYED IMPERATIVE ROLES. FOR
INSTANCE, ROBOTS HELP THE SURGEON DO PRECISE MOVEMENTS AND WORK, EVEN WITH
SHAKY HANDS. ROBOTIC SURGERY IS NOW BEING USED WORLDWIDE TO ASSIST DOCTORS
DURING SURGICAL PROCEDURES. REHABILITATION

o REHABILITATION ROBOTICS AND PROSTHETICS ARE INCREASINGLY BECOMING POPULAR. TODAY,

THESE ROBOTS CAN NOW THINK AND ABLE TO INTERACT DIRECTLY WITH HUMANS, THROUGH
SENSING NEURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNALS, TRIGGERING MOVEMENTS IN RESPONSE.
REHABILITATIVE ROBOTS HELP HUMANS WHO LOST LIMBS TO MOVE AS IF THEY STILL HAVE
THEIR ARMS OR LEGS. HENCE, THESE ROBOTS HELP PEOPLE LIVE NORMAL LIVES, DESPITE
DISABILITIES.
o AGRICULTURE THE USE OF ROBOTS IN AGRICULTURE HAS GAINED POPULARITY OVER THE YEARS.
ROBOTICS HELP OVERCOME CHALLENGES AND PROBLEMS IN FARMLANDS. PRECISION
AGRICULTURE, DUBBED AS PRECISION FARMING, IS A TYPE OF FARM MANAGEMENT BASED ON
THE USE OF VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES, INCLUDING ROBOTS.

o MARINE MARINE ROBOTICS HAS IMPROVED FROM NAVIGATION AND CONTROL ALGORITHMS FOR
SURFACE AND UNDERWATER VEHICLES. NOW, ROBOTS ARE USED TO EXPLORE THE OCEANS AT
AN UNPRECEDENTED SCALE, KEEPING SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS SAFE. THESE ROBOTS CAN
ALSO MEASURE WATER POLLUTION AND THE EXTENT OF CORAL DAMAGE IN THE WORLD’S
OCEANS. ROBOTS PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES IN SOCIETY. ASIDE FROM THAT, THEY MAKE THE LIVES
OF HUMANS EASIER AND FASTER
 LAWS OF ROBOTICS BY
ISAAC ASIMOV 1940

ASIMOV’S SUGGESTED LAWS WERE DEVISED TO PROTECT HUMANS FROM INTERACTIONS WITH
ROBOTS.
THEY ARE:

o A ROBOT MAY NOT INJURE A HUMAN BEING OR, THROUGH INACTION, ALLOW A HUMAN BEING
TO COME TO HARM

o A ROBOT MUST OBEY THE ORDERS GIVEN IT BY HUMAN BEINGS EXCEPT WHERE SUCH ORDERS
WOULD CONFLICT WITH THE FIRST LAW

o A ROBOT MUST PROTECT ITS OWN EXISTENCE AS LONG AS SUCH PROTECTION DOES NOT
CONFLICT WITH THE FIRST OR SECOND LAWS
 ETHICAL DILEMMAS FACED
BY ROBOTICS

o MISINFORMATION AND FAKE NEWS

THE FLOW OF MISINFORMATION TOGETHER WITH OUR NATURAL INABILITY OF PERCEIVING
REALITY BASED ON EVIDENCE (A PHENOMENON CALLED CONFIRMATION BIAS) IS A THREAT TO
HAVING AN INFORMED DEMOCRACY. RUSSIAN HACKERS INFLUENCING THE US ELECTIONS, BREXIT
CAMPAIGN AND CATALONIA CRISIS ARE EXAMPLES OF HOW SOCIAL MEDIA CAN MASSIVELY SPREAD
MISINFORMATION AND FAKE NEWS.

o PRIVACY
THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY IS ALL OVER THE NEWS LATELY DUE TO THE CAMBRIDGE
ANALYTICA SCANDAL, WHERE 87 MILLION FACEBOOK PROFILES WERE STOLEN AND USED TO
INFLUENCE THE US ELECTION AND BREXIT CAMPAIGN. PRIVACY IS A HUMAN RIGHT AND SHOULD
BE PROTECTED AGAINST MISUSE
