Robotics Research and Presentation Activity

Task: You will investigate the assigned task and prepare a presentation supported with facts and relevant examples. This presentation should not last more than five minutes. 

Shad and Tanzil
1. Briefly describe some limitations of robots in terms of motion(movement)

2. If in the future machines have the ability to reason, be self-aware and have feelings, then what makes a human being a human being, and a robot a robot? Present your findings.

 Samy and Hezi
1. Briefly describe some limitations of robots in terms of vision.(seeing)

2. If you could have a robot that would do any task you like, a companion to do all the work that you prefer not to, would you? And if so, how do you think this might affect you as a person? Share your findings.

Saumya and Wayne
1. Briefly describe some limitations of robots in terms of sensing.(Touch)

2. Are there any kind of robots that shouldn't be created? Or that you wouldn't want to see created? Why?

Amaar and Ali Shah
1. Briefly describe some limitations of robots in terms of Thinking.(Decision making)

2. Automation and the development of new technologies like robots is viewed by most people as inevitable. But many workers who lose their jobs consider this business practice unfair. Do you think the development of new technologies, and their implementation, is inevitable? What, if anything, what should we as a society do for those people who lose their jobs?


Robots of the future.
