Roles Played by These Technological Advancements Personal computers and laptops also have useful set of functions and roles. Personal computers and laptops can be used to surf the internet and communicate. Ethical Dilemma Faced by These Technological Advancements People who are fixated on these technological advancements start and ends their day by using such devices. It causes them to become reclusive, alienating themselves form other people ROBOTICS and HUMANITY A service robot is a robot A robot is an actuated that performs useful tasks mechanism programmable for humans or equipment in two or more axes with a excluding industrial degree of autonomy, automation application. moving within its A personal service robot or environment, to perform a service robot for personal use is a service robot used for a intended tasks. Autonomy noncommercial tasks, usually in this contexts means the by laypersons. Examples are ability to perform intended domestic servant robot, tasks based on current automated wheelchair, state and sensing without personal mobility assist robot, human intervention. and pet exercising robot. A professional service robot or a service robot for professional use is a service robot used for a commercial task, usually operated by a properly trained operator. Examples; cleaning robot for public places delivery robot in offices or hospitals firefighting robot rehabilitation robot surgery robot in hospitals Roles Played by Robotics Primarily used to ease the workload of mankind. Invented to make life more efficient and less stressful. They perform complicated activities which human beings are incapable of doing. Robots perform activities to entertain people. Some robots which were made to serve as a toy. Rules and characteristics that define what a good robot is: Law One Law Three Law Two A robot must A robot may not protect its own injure a human or A robot must obey existence as long through inaction, the orders given it as such protection allow a human by human beings does not conflict being to come to except where such with the First or harm. orders would Second Law. conflict with the First Law. In the field of robotics, there are the so- called partial autonomy and full autonomy. Partial autonomy includes active human-robot interaction. While; Full autonomy excludes active human- robot interaction. A robot with full autonomy can perform actions or activities even without a master telling it what should be done or what should be perform next. Do people really need technology in their lives? It is really a necessity? THANK YOU
