Today's class was very interesting. We went over Robotics and how much they have advanced from earlier models. It is scary to think how far robotics have come. every day they are getting more and more advanced. they are starting to take over human jobs to make them faster and more efficient as well as cheaper.
I really liked when we watched the video of the robotic surgery machine. It is crazy to think that a robot with the aid of a doctor can preform a procedure, much faster and less invasive. I still find it a bit creepy that a machine is doing the work, because who's to say something wont go wrong with the machine.
I also like the robot that played the violin. It was really impressive how they can make robots so advanced and act like a real human being. Even some cars have robots in them, like the ones that can parallel park them selves or slow down them selves. I cant wait to see how they advance in the coming years.
I found the last class interesting as well. I posted a blog earlier about how robotics has benefited the golf industry. However, I cannot help but wonder about the idea of machines taking over one day. I know it sounds like a crazy, Hollywood created idea but seriously; what happens when mankind creates a machine that is a more efficient thinker than we are? What happens to us when machines induct and deduct better than we do?
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, the advances in robot technology are fascinating to see. The violin playing robot was truly impressive in my opinion. The precise timing and movement of the robots fingers and arms would make any human violinist jealous. The future is going to produce musicians, athletes, etc that are going to out-perform humans.
