When it comes to replacing robots with humans in the military, usually movies that result in the robots taking over come to mind. Although this is possible, it is one of the many paths that we can choose, so addressing this issue earlier can prevent catastrophic disasters and unnecessary deaths. During Hyper Evolution: Rise of the Robots, Professor Danielle George visits the Boston Dynamics lab, which is creating robots to implement in the military. These robots can do human-like functions such as open doors, carry boxes, and navigate uneven terrain. The documentary, however, does not cover other robots created for the military, more specifically, autonomous robots with weapons.
However, if one takes a deeper look into the two stories and gets insight about the internal state of robots in John Searle’s essay, “Mind, Brains, and Computers”, one can come to the realization that robots are ultimately harmful. Although Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics state that robots can’t harm humans, I claim that the underlying message in Asimov’s stories is that robots can still destroy us because robots make us constantly rely on them for emotional and intellectual support. Everyday technology and robots are advancing and become part of our daily routines. It is important for us to take precaution and realize that is it harmful to depend on robots for support they can’t provide, and that we should not be delusional by a positive perception of them through fictional stories. In the short story, “Robbie”, the main
Crowd density estimation Using Fuzzy Inference System in Monitoring CCTV Soheil Tehranipour and Hamidreza Rashidy Kanan Electrical Engineering Department, Qazvin Azad University, Qazvin, IRAN {s.tehranipour, h.rashidykanan}@qiau.ac.ir Abstract Crowd Density Estimation is one of main method of automatic attention control to enhance security of people in public. Despite the beneficial previous works in the literature, reliable detection of number of people in a real-time platform is still a challenging issue. In this paper we focus on crowd density and people counting concentrating on automatic background subtraction and …… In addition, temporal and spatial criteria of each frame of video have been considered to control the operator’s attention
In case a human driver can't take control in time, a computer will be responsible for the pre-crash decisions. Automated roadway vehicles can predict distinctive crash heading decisions and select the way with the most lessened mischief or likelihood of effect. In some conditions, the favored way may be faulty. This report will discuss the ethics of self-driving cars and how decision making should take place to accomplish the least harmless outcome. INTRODUCTION Computerized vehicles have been working on open roadways since 1994.
Murakami has expounded the notion that even the most dangerous object, people won’t even question. As shown in our Society, we lack the ability to reject blind faith, thus allowing us to follow rules and the structure of our political routine, just like robots. People do things, just because they were told to do. Our society runs in the form of a hierarchy, where there is always an authoritative figure commanding us in whatever we choose to do. For an example, one would be doing taxes, where we didn’t know what our money is spent for.
Nonetheless, robots and humans working together, would be much more beneficial than robots working individually because it gives better results. Robots will not guide the workers, spread the spirit of cooperation between them, and motivate each other as perfect as humans do. However, these three factors can affect the work environment noticeably. Furthermore, the majority of humans know that programmed technologies may face errors that might cause serious problems. By way of illustration, you can imagine how dangerous the answer to the following question is; what would happen if a bodyguard robot shot a child because he went so close from the protected person?
I believe most of us had watched the movie call the “Terminator” which depicts about the future where robots are created and used for the warfare. It would be an arguable debate if technology rises to the state where it takes over humans for war and would it be a disadvantage or an advantage for the future? Let’s discuss it in the next paragraph. Talking about the future warfare, we are constantly improving and creating new robots and drones to take over some of the dangerous tasks that our soldiers faced during wartime. A good example would be that the robot could be designed and built to remove landmines instead of using the traditional way of using metal detector to detect the mines and then remove them.
Like the Patriot, autonomous defensive weapons (Skynet and Arcnet are some fictional examples) have made their presence known and very soon we could see some offensive ones too. However, “Defensive systems are under scrutiny to be considered autonomous weapons or not,” says Dr. Peter Asaro, co-founder and vice-chair, International Committee for Robot Arms Control. Moreover, the automated defence systems are not sentient, yet. The biggest impact that LAWs have is that they will let us eliminate us from the battlefield, that is, they will remove the human operator sitting behind the gun. This is fine as long as they don’t take it literally and go about eliminating all humans.
After seeing which changes await us, we argue that taking humans out of traffic will already eliminate most of the existing accident causes. We then will have a closer look on the extent of the parallels between traffic and swarms. This helps us to examine how communication between cars can save lives in suddenly appearing crash situations. Subse-quently, we will explain why improving the efficiency of traffic also leads to more safety and use mechanisms and techniques of animal swarms to achieve this goal. The organization of bee and ant swarms will deliver answers on how to improve traffic flow conditions and dis-tribute traffic more efficiently.
Robots have replaced humans in performing repetitive and dangerous tasks. The use of robots in military combat raises ethical concerns. The possibilities of robot autonomy and potential repercussions have been addressed in fiction and may be a realistic concern in the upcoming days. Basically army robot is capable of performing tasks such as locomotion, sensing the harmful gas, sensing temperature and also used for metal detection as well. Spy Robot in its most basic form is an autonomous vehicular form mechanized body comprising of wireless camera which can be used for spy purposes and colour sensor is used to
