Personal Robot or Not: I Robot

When you come back from work, when the house is cleaned, the kids start homework and the dinner is almost over, think about the next 10 years. After dinner, the child is placed on the bed, the kitchen is cleaned and enters the bath soon, so you can sit down and relax. Your personal robot has completed your long list of your domestic work, it has been connected for the night, and is ready to do more work tomorrow. Home robots or service robots are machines designed to do housework.

The course begins with a philosophical argument about why a robot is a robot. From this discussion, I learned that robot is essentially a machine that perceives the world, determines actions based on that perception, and performs actions based on that decision. Personally, I prefer this definition. Robots are object-oriented machines that can recognize, plan, and act with a continuous loop to achieve specific goals. This is almost the same as the definition they are giving, but I think that it is important to pay attention to recognition, decision making and actions are repeated, and all of these are trying to achieve the desired goal.

A conceptually simple way to learn that a robot performs tasks is to teach the robot a goal and experiment with the robot to find a way to accomplish it. This is Reinforcement Learning (RL), when the mission is completed the robot gets a reward (or pays a penalty when the mission is not completed) and tries to find usage of the ability to achieve the goal . Rewards themselves are generated by a reward function that maps the state of the robot (or robot state - action pair) to the robot quality (or bad) in that state (or the action performed in that state).

Imagine an intellectual robot with voting power. Robots are programmed to learn using available information and make the best choice. (When I use the word robot I am talking about computerized artificial intelligence that learns, analyzes data, and makes complex decisions, not text robots.The robot is our Do you make a choice like that?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a trend of the Y generation, which is growing faster than the power itself itself. The existing robot is called "personal health care robot" and uses artificial intelligence technology to inherit the work of home nurses. These robots take drugs, guide over leading to chronic diseases, and prompt medical professionals to track their progress. The idea of ​​keeping track of your health and preserving records to stay the robot at your house is horrible; but for those lone wolves this is a great advance. It makes sense to make a robot part of your life, but if you want to be your surgeon, can you trust that robot?
