1. Scientists have created a robot that is able to balance itself to walk and run on level and uneven ground. The robot is able to calculate how much force to push it's foot once it reaches the ground in less than a second.
2. Pros: Now we're able to explore land that is to treacherous for us to go. Cons: Robots like this may become too expensive to make and cost the US tons of money.
1.) Agile robots are robots that are able to walk and run on two feet and are even capable of grabbing objects like spheres and cubes.
2.) Pros: With these new robots, we are able to surpass new limits with the agile robots, we will be able to do so much more with them. Cons: The only credible one I can see is them being unattainable for the common people to own.
3.) Personally, I feel this is real cool an exciting, but again,unattainable for the common people, like us.
1. Scientists have designed and built a robot that has the balance to walk and run on rough terrain.
2. PROS: they will be in very useful in emergency rescue operations, as well as helping elderly or physically disabled people. CONS: there is always a risk that something bad happens with the robots. So if we were to use them in our daily lives, we never know when something bad or wrong will happen.
3. I've never had any interest or thoughts about robots, but i think it is pretty cool that they manage to build something so advanced.
1. There is now a robot called Atlas that can walk, and even run, on rough terrain. Benefits of this impressive new ingenuity can help with anything from emergency rescue operations to assisting old or disabled people.
2. Pros: Could help in situations that would too dangerous for humans to go into or could serve as a 24-hour helper for an elderly or disabled person. Cons: The robot is loud, expensive, and dangerous.
3. I'm sort-of impressed by it, but not nearly as much when I saw Honda's Asimov at Disneyland two summers ago. When I first saw Honda's robot, I couldn't believe that that kind of technology even existed yet. With this robot, it just seems like they added a little bit more balance and coordination.
1) The agile robot is a new robot featuring human-like legs versus the current standard wheels. While wheels work great on flat surfaces, the agile robot will be able to travel through many different types of terrains like steps, on gravel, through forested areas, and other rough conditions. 2) This robot has much more versatility when compared to its current robot counterparts. Robots would now be able to get to all the places humans can, and in emergency operations, can be just as useful as a human without having to risk any human lives. The robot does look very similar to humans in a very creepy sort of way. It could act as a reminder to the previously unfathomable yet now plausible idea of robot takeover. These robots also serve to make humans more reliant on our advancing technologies. 3) I like the idea of the project as a starting point, however, it has a long way to go before it will make any headlines. It is a giant machine, much larger than an average human body, yet all it can do is walk. Once they slim it down and give it a few more human qualities, it will truly be impressive. I'm not looking to rush anything in regards to this, as it does seem like quite a creepy change as these start to become more involved in civilization life.
1.this is a robot that can actually balance itself. it can adapt to change sin a way that humans can allowing it to walk in human places and adapt to things like a curve. it can also run on a flat surface without falling. this makes i ta lot more advanced than any robots out now.
2.pros: well on the way to helper bots, a big advancement in technology, able to do more than any other robot out now cons: loud external diesel engine, no fine motor skills,limbs thrash around dangerously
3. I think this is very exiting. this is one step closer to the sci-fi robots we've all scene. this is also a sign that soon we will have robots that can do and take on task normally to dangerous for humans. this will lead to many advancements and less human casualty's.
1. Describe the topic. In your own words. This is a biped robot that can balance itself to traverse terrain like a human.
2. List your pros and cons Cons: I could never see its use in an unmanned robot for civilian or military use. For methods of transporting items or working across complex terrain there are already better robots for the job. Drones are more efficient, faster, accurate, and they can scale upwards. There is no use for this as a robot.
Pros: If this research is moved to the field of prosthetics, it could be very useful.
3. Describe how you feel about it personally. If they could make a quiet, light, weaker version of this that can run an a small battery and attach to a skeleton of a person, this could be amazing for those paralyzed from the waist down. It could allow people to appear to walk normally who could not do so otherwise helping them integrate into society after being injured or losing a limb.
1. This is a robot that can walk on its own through an environment.
2. There's a lot of pros about this technology such as it could possibly save lives. It could save lives by walking over mines etc. One con about this technology is it could possibly take away jobs.
3. I think its a very cool idea but I think its kind of useless. I mean its cool the robot can walk but what could we use it for other than walking over mines. Its just another useless piece of technology.
1- This a robot that can walk, and run on different surfaces using its balance and biped technology. 2- Pros- I can see this as a unmanned messenger or transporter for the military. It could be a really cool device if some components were upgraded. It could be used to move supplies or weapons from place to place without human life involved. Cons- Cons would be that it can replace other jobs such as delivery of mail. It also isnt reliable in that it can break down mid way though.
3- Personally i feel that this technology is heading in the right direction as far as artificial intelligence goes, but isn't really close in anyway. It reminds me a lot of the movie "Edge of Tomorrow" and their special suits.
1. A wonderful Robotic man with human like legs instead of wheels that can calculate the amount of force needed for every step it takes.
2. Pros: Could be huge for disabled people or help in a warehouse. Carry heavy loads. Possible sea exploration? Future military Cons: IRobot.
3. Personally i'm split over how I should feel, this could be huge for disabled people or in the field of prosthetics . However we could have a real life IRobot where the are turned evil and want to take over. In the right hands these robots will change the world for the better.
1. Agile Robot is an extremely maneuverable robot intended to be implemented in dangerous environments that humans are not able to safely engage in. These include, nuclear disasters, hurricanes, tornados, etc. This robot focuses on its balancing technology while carrying an extensive payload.
2. Pros: Every technical development has a use in todays society. This particular one, can help develop upon prosthetic use, or again, emergency situations. Cons: This robot requires much more development to even be introduced to a professional environment. Also is highly expensive.
3. I personally believe the Agile Robot has a huge potential to preform tasks that humans are not able to, but much more needs to be invested and developed to make it worth its cost.
Mason Welch 1. This is a robot that walks like a human and can walk through different environments.
2. Pros: This kind of robotics can go into a burning building and locate people in side, so the fire department can quickly get them out. It can help with military applications as well. Cons: The cost and the time required to make them might be too high to be worth mass production.
3. I think it is cool that we are able to make such robots, but I don't really see a common person owning one of these robots. If anything they would be used in military applications or to help save lives.
1. Its a robot that is supposed to mimic human movements and walk environments that a human might not be able.
2. Pros: Being able to walk into for example, a restricted nuclear zone, can be very useful. There is a town somewhere in Montana (Don't quote me on that location I can't remember exactly) where the radiation from the nuclear fallout is so strong that even with protective gear, we will not safely be able to walk inside the town for another 500 years. I would be curious to see the contents of a town that I will never see in my lifetime. Cons: I can imagine the production of the robots would costly and while the point of the robots is to survive where humans can't, I'm sure many mistakes would be made.
3. I think its cool. Again if its able to go places I'll never go, put a camera on its head so I can at least look at it.
1. It is a robot with a human like level of agility that can walk through real world terrain.
2. Pros: It is a seriously beneficial step in the right direction as far as robotics goes. This robot even if not perfect in it's design sets the bar for the type of innovation that is not only possible, but entirely probable to pull off with the right amount of engineering go behind it.
Cons: My biggest issue with the robot is that it is being mistaken for a final design, as this robot is nowhere near the quality level that it should be before it can come close to serving as a practical piece of equipment. However this article casts it in the light that it is ready to begin working on nuclear facilities, a job that would require much more reliability than is demonstrated by this model of the robot.
3. I'm personally a very big fan of Atlas and the concept of the project. However, I do think it's nice to see that it's not already equivalent to human movement, as this means we at least have a couple years before we become obsolete.
1. It is a human-like robot, this is original is the fact that is bi-pedal, so that's pretty cool.
2. Pros: It would be helpful in going places where normal humans can't go. It could be helpful lifting heavy loads and it can be a great advance in the pursuit in helping disabled people. Cons: It could be used in the military, and if place in the wrong hands could do some potentially harmful damage
3. I don't think it's so bad personally, but I would understand other people feeling uncomfortable about it. I think it's worth pursuing but should never be used militarily.
1. Scientists have created humanoid-like robots capable of running around on their own on two legs.
ReplyDelete2. Pros: This will help create jobs and make dangerous work less of a problem for workers. Cons: No cons: I for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
3. I think it's really cool, but I feel like we should spend more time developing the AI before making the actual physical robots.
