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
