Nao Robot Aldebaran

As humans deepen in technology, there appears to have some great and interesting inventions. Certan inventions are very fascinating and helpful to humanity like Apple apparatus, Nao Robot etc... There is the invention of “Nao Aldebaran robotAldebaran Robotics NAO at 16x9”, a humanoid presupposes to help humans. Engineers have designated them to help elderly people.  We may have to say that Nao robot will be a huge breakthrough to humanity. After looking at a YouTube video on nao robot and all their features, we have a feeling that the mission will be well-achieved. A video implicitly says that this technology is important to human in needs especially elderly. The important mission of creating the robots is to assist people. A nao robot on a video on YouTube says that “my program goal is to improve your health” say to an advance in age man. The robot is programmed to keep the person accompany every he is going. The YouTube shows lots of capabilities from this nao robot that has ability to cook, garden, and to go in leisure walk with its owner. This video is very positive with the invention of this robot and is evidently proved that the robot will assist certain people very well. It’s been said that the Aldebaran robot has built in a French company; therefore, no information has given specifically to his inventor. It has been argued by a member of the company that built the robot that that people say that robotic technology is not good for society. He adamantly said that robotic revolution is definitely good for the today society.

 

                 Artificial Intelligence is some sort of a computer created with a dynamic aspect to help humans. Technically, artificial intelligence is defined as “the science and technology that seeks to create intelligent computational systems…..that can mimic or duplicate the intelligent behavior found in humans and other thinking things.” (Sullins, 2005). In other words, engineers of robots created algorithms and computation systems that are the same trait to human’s motions except that the robot has to be programmed to do its tasks. Simply, robots are made by humans who are trying to bring solution to several problems in societies. The development of robot means that even more sophisticated automated controls could be applied to industrial processes can be handled, particularly in medical field and industrial company like Apple and in industry of vehicles in which high-value parts had to be made to extremely close tolerances. Human eyes and hands simply do not have the precision to guide the apparel closely. Therefore, many companies were routinely failing parts mechanical system and now with revolution of artificial intelligent those incidents are rare (Ed. Richard, 2009, p62). By using robots to alleviate problems, companies were able to reverse those ratios, failing only 1 percent of the parts they produced because there is a low percentage of uncertainty in the fabrication of robots. We are saying redundantly that robots are created to help humanity. Their goal is to assist humans in their needs to improve the world from mechanical apparatus to humans. Encouragingly, factory automations have allowed other companies to leverage their workers’ labor to increase productivity many thousandfold and to produce goods that could not be produced by traditional craft methods (Ed. Richard, 2009, p62).

                We have acquired papers in class telling us how great robots would be to humans. We have seen in class some clip on YouTube allowing us to see how engineers are fabricating robots. From the YouTube videos the ones showed in class plus my observation of robot, they seem to have to problem. We cannot say that they fabric the robots with no flaws; because we are humans who sometimes make mistakes in our tasks. Oftentimes, the things that we do may seem to be great but there are accuracy and precisions that must be in account that did not have a place in the system.
