    Study Notes

    Prosperity and Good Life

    • Prosperity is being comfortably off, where one doesn't need to work for a living doing something they wouldn't freely choose to do.
    • The good life is a state of being happy, healthy, and prosperous in the way one thinks, lives, and acts.
    • It is achieved by living a virtuous life (Arête) and is brought about by exercising unique human abilities and capacities.
    • Friendship, enjoying respect from others, needing good luck, and having common sense are also essential for the good life.

    Science, Technology, and Good Life

    • Science and Technology (S&T) is a movement towards the good life, allowing us to thrive and flourish if we desire it.
    • S&T are the highest expressions of human faculties, but can corrupt a person if not guided by virtue or ethical standards.
    • Technology came from the Greek words "techne" meaning art, and "logos" meaning word or discourse.

    Robotics and Humanity

    • A robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional, manipulator designed to make material parts, tools or specialized devices through various programmed motions.
    • An actuated mechanism, programmable in two or more axes with a degree of autonomy, moving within its environment, to perform intended tasks.
    • Autonomy refers to the ability to perform intended tasks based on current state and sensing without human intervention.

    Robot Capabilities

    • Sensors: able to sense the environment and give useful feedback to the device.
    • Mechanical capability: enabling it to act on its environment rather than merely function as a data processing or computational device.
    • Flexibility: it can operate using a range of programs and transport material in a variety of ways.

    Application of Robots

    • Industry: animatronics, safety, and space
    • Healthcare: a nursing robot system designed to serve bedridden patients by performing simple services such as operating electrical appliances or bringing patient's bedside according to the patient's spoken request.
    • The nursing robot does not apply medical treatment to the patient.

    Benefits of Robotics

    • Preserve dignity
    • Promote independence
    • Decrease burden on family and friends
    • Offer endless patience
    • Provide companionship
    • Help with monitoring and reminders
    • Robot caregivers reduce injuries and promote independence

    Disadvantages of Robotics

    • Cost of robots
    • Commonly associated with traditional safe patient lifting methods, including reduced incidence of clinician workplace injuries, fewer patient falls and injuries, and improved clinician staff retention and satisfaction.
