What is a robot?
‘A programmable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools or specialised devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety tasks’
Robots and Cyborgs are quite similar but apart from both being artificial creations the main difference between them both are that robots though for themselevs.
In 1963 John McCarthy left MIT to start an Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Stanford University. In 1966 he went onto create ‘Shaky’. This was the first mobile robot to respond to someones action.
1966 was also the the year Eliza was created at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum. Eliza was a robot which also responded but would use a statement giving to make up a question.
‘Hubert Drefus-1979 ’ Insists that any really intelligent machine (Which he thinks is impossible in principle) must demonstrate more than just a logical elements of human thinking. A truly Intelligent machine would have to be capable of actual conversations. This would be evidence idling, rather than working towards some particular intelligent function.’
This was what Eliza never had. It was also similar to MSN’s smarter child, a programme on instant messaging which was really a robot. Any given keyword or phrase typed to it, would immediately have a question answered back similar to Eliza.
Robots were designed to be able to think for themselves and have a more superior knowledge of not close to the human one. There are still limitations on what we can do as humans that they can’t.
We are able protect information online this is by simple things like CAPTCHA. This is a system with blurry numbers and letters only the humans can read and make out, which get typed out for security reasons to dodge fraud, theft, virus’ etc. This can be read by us but not computer programmes.
Different types of robots today are still being created, but they still have no emotions, due to the fact they’re not human but simply an artificial programme, but with technology expanding what could the late future hold? Will they be able to create a more improved version of Eliza, who does not only respond out of statements, but its able to hold a conversation?
