The robot had been out for 24 hours now and already Jasper has lost his family from the explosions. All 4 of them were dead except for him. He was alone and the frigid night air had engulfed him in chills as he lay on the hard, burned ground.The robot….the robot was originally a government project. Then the AI nuclear robot went rogue, escaping the facility where the tests were being run and started blowing everything up across Dead Creek, Farem, the capital of the Government. As he lay in the ashes of his home he thought, for just a moment, he could survive this tragedy. He quickly shook the thought off as he didn’t want to get to confident. But he knew he could he just needed a plan, where would he go, how, and with whom would he do it with? He thought that he might be was the only person in the city still alive. The closest district was Barem which was on the other side of the forest which was full of savage mutant animals from the war, so how was he supposed to get there? He got up and walked in the direction of the old armoury. As he neared the donut shop he noticed just the slightest bit of movement on the far corner of the seemingly dead store, then he saw them, Kevin, Rose and Amanda and he knew exactly how all of them would get out of this junkyard. He immediately called to them to come over. They were hesitant to but they did slowly make their way to him. As they introduced themselves he told them about how he wanted to leave. Kevin was a very tall masculine
In “Alone Together: The Robotic Movement,” Sherry Turkle explains some of the negative effects that robots are having on our lives. She also explains how they can have a negative effect on our daily lives without us even noticing. I am someone who knows a great deal about technology, however I had no idea that close human-robot interaction was happening at such an inappropriate level. There are many different examples Turkle uses in the article, however, I will only talk about two. I agree with Turkle not only that there are ethical problems with human-robot interaction but also that a lot of other forms of technology might be doing more harm than good.
Leigh says, “Despite the location, Dot’s Donuts is about to become famous.” Leigh walks over, gets back into the car with her mom, Nadine, fastens her seatbelt, her mom starts the car and they drove away. Leigh and her mom, Nadine, were several hours into their Saturday filled with taking care of business, Suddenly Leigh had noticed, that Dot’s Donuts wasn’t the only small shop on the side streets of the city, There were also a whole side street covered in hamburger and hot dog food joints. Leigh started to feel scared as she wondered, “With all these food joints in business as well is Dot’s Donuts gonna close down, I just applied hoping I would get a job at a new food joint.” Leigh starts to remember that this donut shop is new and since these food joints might be able to collaborate or work some business deal to keep the donut shop open, she might still have a shot at getting this new job at a donut shop on the side streets in the big city of Tuscaloosa,
Jasper's eyes snapped open as he awoke with a start. He could've sworn he heard a noise. He shook it off, and rolled over to check the time. 4:37 am. He sighed, climbing out of bed to get a drink of water for his parched mouth. He passed his window, and had to do a double take. The city, his city, was in ruins. The sky was fire, the air was ashen. He whirled around, pulling on jeans and a t-shirt. As he was grabbing his pilot's goggles, Jasper's vision swirled as he realized exactly what was going on. It dawned on him that the scene he had witnessed outside of his bedroom window was Chicago being bombed. He ran to his door, only to touch his door handle and yank his burned hand back. There must've been a bomb nearby, the sheer force of it must've

To the battles he fought on the desert plains of Afghanistan, fighting for his country against the terrorist threat overseas. Those memories have scarred him permanently as he relives them daily. He began to panic at the thought of the combat he had experienced and collapsed to the ground once again feeling the embrace of the cold lifeless ground underneath him. He inhaled air in a panicking fit, his chest expanding and contracting rapidly as his body attempts to calm him down. His mind slows as his focus returns to the present and his breathing returns to normal. He gathers his thoughts and collects his feet underneath him as he stands tall feeling exhausted. He begins walking at his own pace with his mind strained and energy spent he cant understand how he still walks but he knows he needs to get home. He looks ahead of him as he sees the tall man he stumbled into

Robot and Frank is an unpredictable film about a retired man, Frank. The movie is set in the near future in New York, where everyone uses technology and robots to help them with simple day-to-day tasks. The movie starts off with Frank trying to steal from his own home until he sees a picture of himself with his two children, Hunter and Madison. Hunter and Madison are grown-ups living on their own, but also always trying to check up on Frank. Frank, on the other hand unintentionally causes all sort of trouble to his children due to his failing memory. So, his son, Hunter presents him with a robot butler. At first, Frank is irritated with his new robot servant. Over time Frank realizes that the robot is actually worthwhile. It cleans the house, cooks, tries to keep a set schedule for Frank, wakes him up in the morning, tries to build Frank's interest in gardening and walks around town with him. In addition, Franks cognitive condition improves as the robot kept him busy. Not to mention, Frank is a semi-retired burglar, who later trains his robot to help him with his new burglaries. The two keep their secret planning between themselves until Frank is almost caught and unfortunately has to erase the robot's memory. The movie ends with Frank living at a nursing home, where, at this point, he is unable to recognize Hunter. Frank's family comes to visit him and he leaves Hunter with a note saying, "Check the robot's garden under the tomatoes. Have fun kids!" Indirectly implying that he hasn't forgotten
The biggest life-changing event was participating in the FIRST Robotics program. This program has made me realize who I am and what I want to do in my life. When I first entered the program, I was a sophomore and clueless about what I was. Everyone around me knew what he or she wanted to be in life. I did not have the mentality for language arts; I was unable to read the cryptic sentences to find hidden meanings that, to this day, I do not believe exist. I also did not care about German. Although the language made sense, I was never that interested in it. Chemistry was interesting to me, but I disliked the lack of consistent results. I was interested in the reactions occurring in labs, but the data I observed proved disheartening, with percent
How would today’s world be if the technology that is known and loved by millions suddenly vanished? Could the world re-adapt to the lack of technology, or would it plummet into Darkness and Despair? In actuality, if someone can develop artificial intelligences to a certain limit he or she can prevent many of the world’s future problems. In a sense, Mankind can benefit greatly from the further use and development of Artificial Intelligence although some people would have one believe that the further development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can endanger large areas around the world.
With the utilization of robotics in complicated surgeries, surgeons are able to perform the required tasks with the use of precision offered by robots. The utilization of robotics minimizes surgery trauma, increases dexterity, offers a wider range of motion, and allows improved access to obstructed organs. The da Vinci Robot is a revised, upgraded and an enhanced machine from its predecessors and its original design made by Leonardo da Vinci. A company in California was able to evolve the design of the da Vinci robotic system. Four models were made by Intuitive Surgical, the standard original model, model S, model Si, and the most recent one, model Xi. The da Vinci Surgical System is now a worldwide system that is utilized for
He stumbled forward but managed to catch himself before he fell. He scanned the room quickly but failed to recognise the room. He couldn’t remember a thing. The last thing he could remember was running out into the woods. He did however notice his pouch on the nightstand. Behind his pouch was a framed photo of two boy's.
Isaac Asimov thrills the reader with his story-telling ability in "I, Robot". Of course, many of Asimov's ideas provide a ploy to add suspense to the story. However, when the plot completely disagree with the laws which he himself has written, the story becomes confusing. On the surface, it appears that his stories make legitimate and logical sense, as well as entertaining the audience in a magnificent way. However, any deeper analysis of the story will prove that there are several significant flaws in the work. This can best be shown in one of Asimov's earlier stories, "Reason." In this story, the first and second of the three laws of robotics are broken. It is never explained how it would be
“Crash.” Jack couldn’t stand any more of this. It had just been a normal school day, but now he was running from an army of crazed robots. He could smell the smoke coming from behind him, all the buildings getting burnt. Tony, his friend, had also gotten into this trouble, but he was fast and was well ahead of him. He was slowing down, and he could hear the robo’s heavy machinery behind him.
After the decisions regarding the body structure, it’s the time for designing the heart of the robot. Similar to many RC cars and other mini robot vehicles, using DC motors with a great package of speed reducer gearbox would be the best method to run the vehicle. In this section, I express a brief description of the DC motors and the chosen speed reducer gears, then next chapter would include more details regarding the relation between the motors and the power moves the vehicle with all the accessories. Also, it should be strong enough to supply the enough digging force when supporting the arm.
He didn’t change his pace as he moved toward the old graveyard, the only part of the city that had survived the attack untouched. Stopping at his parents graves, the memories once again flooded his mind. Despite the seven summers passed, he could remember hearing the clattering of the front door slamming into the ground as he ran about the manor in search of anything to defend himself. He had grabbed his father’s experimental weapon. He recalled the
