Inspirations |
- In the future robots are smarter
and cheaper. People interact with robots
using natural language, facial expression,
and hand gestures. Robots can also see,
have overcoming general object recognition
and are capable of great dexterity and
have unusual range of motion and movement.
Imaging robots in the future are capable
of social interactions: little children
hug their robots, robots walk the dogs,
people can talk to their robots, and
robots drive the cars and buses. Robots
control all the production lines including
home production: cooking, cleaning,
and health monitoring.
- Should we apply Laws of Robotics
when we build future robots?
