Isaac Asimov's Three Laws Of Robotics

In the past, robots were starting to come around in around the year 270 BCE. Based on the article, “Robots Long Ago”, by Karen Brinkmann, the article explains that “Every robot is a device that can carry out a complex series of actions automatically.” In other words, any object that functions actions automatically is basically a robot. On paragraph 2, it starts that “Around the year 270 BCE, a Greek scientist named Ctesibius dreamed of creating objects that would help people complete certain tasks.” he ended up, “inventing a clock that use mechanical technology to keep track of time.”

Robotics and Artificial intelligence is the aspect of technology which deals with the concept of design, construction, operation and application of the Robotics field. Furthermore; the various reasons for the development of robotics and artificial intelligence, the explanation of these concepts and also their future advancements which would impact the business world will be discussed in this essay.

Movement a robot needs to be able to move around its environment. Whether rolling on wheels, walking on legs or propelling by thrusters a robot needs to be able to move. To count as a robot either the whole robot moves, like the Sojourner or just parts of the robot moves, like the Canada Arm.

“Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.” (Chen) There are many types of robots, all of which have their pros and their cons. Robots are very similar to Victor's Monster in that each is made of different parts and each has the ability to think for itself. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Shelley warns people of the dangers of advanced technology through Victor Frankenstein's "monster," which overtook Victor's life.If you give something the means to think and problem solve by itself, then you have to consider the fact that it might use that intelligence to do wrong. Like Victor's increasingly intelligent creation, the future of robotics has the potential to overtake and ruin the lives of many people while at the sametime changing it for the

Big companies like “Google” are signing a 60 year, $1.16 billion lease Moffett Naval Airfield in San Francisco the historic Hangar One as part of its expansion into robotics, aviation and space exploration. Kyrre Glette, Associate Professor at Oslo University’s Department of Informatics states “In the future, robots must be able to solve tasks in deep mines on distant planets, in radioactive disaster areas, in hazardous landslip areas and on the sea bed beneath the Antarctic. These environments are so extreme that no human being can cope. Everything needs to be automatically controlled. For an example a robot is entering the wreckage of a nuclear power plant. It finds a staircase that no-one has thought of. The robot takes a picture. The picture is analyzed. The arms of one of the robots is fitted with a printer. This produces a new robot, or a new part for the existing robot, which enables it to negotiate the stairs.” This is the primary example of what the future could hold with robotic technology.

By the turn of the century, Field of automation and robotics have seen a quick growth in each and every aspect whether it is a research or application. Due to this advancement, this field of study needs certain protocols.

Some very common robots are washers, dishwashers, automatic vacuums, and some voice activated devices. We have these robots to make everyday tasks easier, to do a better job, or to do something that humans could never do. The three main components of any given robot are the sensors, the actuators, and a computation process. The term ‘robot’ comes from the extravagant playwright by Karel Čapek who introduced the word in his hit play in the 1920’s,

Named “The Three Laws of Robotics”, they encompass the moral authority of the robots in his short story. They are one, a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law, and three; a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second laws. However in many of Asimov’s stories, problems of prioritization and potential stalemate in reasoning is apparent despite only having three rules. Asimov demonstrates that his rules wouldn’t work and this conclusion has been echoed by theorists when evaluating the merit of rule based ethical systems for AI

Robots are re-programmable machine that can be programmed to do a specific or many tasks. Robots are mainly used to perform tasks that humans dislike or cannot perform safely. Therefore, a robot is a robot as it is capable of movement, is reprogrammable, and can be programmed in order to complete a task/tasks. The assignment was to develop and program a robot prototype which would assist an audience/community. Thus, by assisting the needy communities the Redrone would be improving the quality of life along with creating social, political, and/or economic conclusions.

There are many problems that can be seen with Asimov's three laws of robotics. According to the first law, a robot cannot harm a human being. This law demonstrates the ambiguity of the robots’ tasks to protect. For example, if there’s a conflict between two groups of people and it had to protect one from danger caused by the other, there wouldn't be an order as to who to protect. The robot wouldn't be able to protect anyone and if so, protecting one may cause pain to the other. Since the robot has understanding to whether who’s the defendant and the target, it’d be restricted to perform an action for protection. Eventually the rules would be broken while bringing confusion and difficulties to the robot in the real world.

In 1950, a new set of laws was created in order to meet the growing technological advancements in the field of robotics. These laws were called Asimov’s Laws. However, as we enter the 4th Industrial Revolution it is clear that these laws need to change. Robots are just changing too fast for separate disorganized government agencies to keep up with and it is clear that we need to form a Federal Robotics Commission (FRC). “If the power of our technology grows faster than the wisdom of us humans it is like going into kindergarten and giving them a bunch of hand grenades to play with.”

Asimov wrote and published this book in 1950 to express his concerns and to inform the audience of how humanity’s future may turn out to be. The book is based on the year, 2035, where highly intelligent robots fill public service positions throughout the world, operating under three rules to keep humans safe. In this future, scientists discover a conspiracy that many enslave human race using technology and robotics. Dr. Calvin plays one of the main role in this book since she is a scientist that has many achievements from her field of robotics. She is a robopsychologist who uses many different methods of problems solving to solve the problems that other scientists and mathematicians were incapable of doing. Through these many adventures in the field of robotics, Dr. Susan Calvin displays her many character traits to the

Imagine if you would not need to help Mom and Dad, carrying stuff for them or cleaning up after them! You can have a robot help you with your daily activities such as cleaning your room, washing your car, and even wiping for you once you are done using the bathroom. A robot is a machine designed to complete or carry out multiple tasks when programmed to do so. Robots play a huge role in discovery, such as Mars Curiosity Rover, that is used to observe Mar’s surface and environment. We have used Robots to study the moons surface to see what it is like and to learn more about space. We use robots today in military by using them to disarm bombs and find enemy locations. Robots will have a positive impact on our future, because robots will help us to discover more in the ocean and space, help us save lives, and aid in the military.

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

Robots are going to be new citizens in the human society. Day by day it proved its capabilities and capacity, starting from very sophisticated Medical Surgeries to versatile and simple pick and place application. New and innovative concepts like Origami Robots, Spatial Manipulators, Biological Robots and many such have justified their importance. The core aspect of all such robots and families is their peculiar Kinematics and Dynamics. So, at the heart of all such innovation, it requires fundamental excellence and knowledge in this field. Stanford University stands for legacy in Innovation and Robotics. It is always a preference to work in kinematics in this university. Various labs like Biomimetics and Dextrous Manipulation Laboratory and Stanford Robotics Laboratory Inspires me a lot.
