The
link in this blog stated above revels some how a Nao Robot works. In this
video, Nao robot is able to perform dance move and the special thing about this
video is that, these moves are performed in group where they performed all the
moves at the same time. It was very fascinating to see that robots can do the
same things as humans and how technology has have taken over in the past few
years. After seeing these improvements in Robots we still can totally rely
on them completely, because they're not great in completing task. Like if
we look at this video we can clearly see that the Robots only performed the
moves that they were programmed to do. Robots didn't perform any
random moves or anything special unlike humans, that can perform random
moves depending on the situation. This video reveals some capabilities and it
came from a trustworthy site.
According to Bowdoin
(2002), Artificial intelligence is "a machine that can think about data
and act upon them as a human" (Bowdoin, 2002, p. 153). This means that if
a machine can perform same tasks as humans and can do the same stuff is considered artificially intelligent.
going back to our Nao Robots we can now say that even though they can perform
moves like humans, they can not do it as good as humans. If we look at the
video we can say that these moves were performed slowly and these
Robots need time to process the instructions given to it.
But if we talk about numerical
computation, storage, retrieval, and sorting of large quantities of information
we can say that these activities are performed faster by computers than humans.
With
all these things we can say that Nao Robots can not interact with humans
completely and this is going to stay an obstacle in
between humans and Robots in the near future.
Now
we can compare the video and the written technical description of this Robot.
video about this product only talks about the final product and what and how it
operates/perform. But in written description it tells us the software behind
this product and more specs. Therefore,
the written description is more helpful in the sense it provides a detailed
description of everything in regard of the robot.
