After the appearance of a video on social networks showing a fast-running anthropomorphic robot Atlas, the public split into two camps. Half of the world’s population tried to imagine metal performers performing heavy physical labor and protecting their owners. On the other hand, people were frightened. Artificial intelligence advances – robots are capable of completely replacing humans, leaving millions of families unemployed. The press added fuel to the fire, recalling the programmed technology from the film “I, Robot”, which would help control owners.
Artificial Intelligence Advances: Robots
Robotics is a rapidly developing technology that, alongside microelectronics, is aimed at the entertainment business. The independence of the technology and performing tricks amazes viewers who get acquainted with innovations through video channels. In terms of popularity, the leading company is Boston Dynamics, which has managed to create the most autonomous robot capable of making its own decisions.
The scientific world strives for a symbiosis of animal physical endurance and human intelligence in one device. Robots are equipped with hundreds of sensors and hundreds of algorithms that allow electronics to independently calculate actions. The military are trying to acquire an uncompromising universal soldier who does not need rest or food. But so far, robots are not ready to kill, as developers face challenges with artificial intelligence.
