  1. Team Name: The Situation Social & Ethical Issues with Robotos

  2. Topics • Leslie – Effects Technology has on the Human Brain • Elias - AI used in Ordinary Life • Nick - Robotos Ethics in Engineering and AI • Sergio - Asimo Robot • Joel – AI Goes Hollywood

  3. Presented by Leslie Duenas The effects technology has on the Human Brain

  4. The Effect to the Brain • Those who reported using the internet regularly in their everyday lives showed twice as much signaling in brain regions • responsible for decision-making and complex reasoning, compared with those who had limited internet exposure Leslie Duenas

  5. The tech-savvy among us possess greater working memory • They tech-savvy are also thought to have better motor skills • adept at perceptual learning (that is, adjusting their perception of the world in response to changing information Leslie Duenas

  6. Leslie Duenas

  7. Brain Pacemaker

  8. Technology Gone Bad • We tend to rely too much on technology • GPS were invented and the regular old map was replaced • Pay phones are rare since everyone has cell phones • Kids play less physical sports and more video games • Robots and machines replace humans Leslie Duenas

  9. Who needs a waiter when a computer can take your order World Disney Contempo Café uses state-of-the-art electronic menus and touch-sensitive screens for ordering

  10. Who said Computers are perfect? Ambulance sent off course by GPS A London Ambulance crew was sent 200 miles to Manchester by a faulty satellite navigation system while transferring a patient to hospital . http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/6200054.stm

  11. What is AI? • The capacity of a computer to perform operations analogous to learning and decision making in humans. Elias Morales

  12. AI in Media • What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of AI? Elias Morales

  13. AI in Media Elias Morales

  14. AI in Society • web services can be activated that find the lowest price gas station close to the current position of the car • Your voice can control the air conditioning, select music or program the GPS Elias Morales

  15. Smart Car Transformed to Mustang Elias Morales

  16. What can a roboto do that I can’t? Elias Morales

  17. Play Ping Pong Elias Morales

  18. What is Human? By: Nick Chin Ethical Issues in Genetic Engineering and A.I.

  19. Genetic Slaves • Is it possible the technology may be used to create slaves? • Currently, slaves are classified as human property • Such technology could be used to create a slave race, that is, a race of subhumans that would be exploited. Nick Chin

  20. Can the definition of “human” be applied to altered species containing human genes? • What constitutes a human being? • If we create a being that has the ability to speak and perhaps even reason but looks like a dog or a chimp, should that being be given all the rights and protection of a human being? Nick Chin

  21. Human dignity • Joseph Weizenbaum, a professor at MIT, argued that AI technology should not be used to replace people in positions that require respect and care. • These positions require authentic feelings of empathy from people. • Resulting feeling of alienation, devaluation and frustration. Nick Chin

  22. Other opinions of A.I. • Pamela McCorduck counters Weizenbaums argument saying that: “I'd rather take my chances with an impartial computer.” • She states that there are certain conditions that an automated decision, unaffected by bias would be the preferred outcome. Nick Chin

  23. Arguments for A.I. In everyday use • Credit card company has employed various kinds of artificial intelligence programs to tell whether or not the transaction coming in from your card is typical for you, or whether it's outside your usual pattern.  •  Many medical devices now employ AI to diagnose and manage the course of therapy.  • Construction companies use AI to figure out schedules and manage risks.  • The U.S. armed forces uses all sorts of AI programs–to manage battles, to detect real threats out of possible noise, and so on.

  24. Technical Home Simulator? • The Sims started out in the late 1990s as a game about architecture; • One of the working titles was "Technical Home Simulator." Nick Chin

  25. Adding Human Qualities • "Some of the human qualities of The Sims didn't come out until women started working on it," Lucy Bradshaw,a general manager of EA's Maxis Studio said • "It wasn't until we added kids and relationships that things changed. “ • It became more about these little human beings, these 'Sims,' rather than just the objects in their lives."

  26. “Asimo”  The Worlds Most Advanced Humanoid Robot • By: Sergio Ford

  27. Sergio Ford 1st Walking robot was in 1986. - The were three main phases of this invention. Each phase had improved functionality, intelligence, and size (more compact) Early model (E1-E6 series) Focused on developing legs that could simulate walking of an human and walk stabilization/stair climbing. (These are considered walking robots) History of Asimo

  28. Sergio Ford Middle Years ( P1-P3) • Improved much of the functionality and size of the E-series. Was still bulky at 6’2” 386 lbs. (P1) and transitioning to a humanoid robot in (p3) before Asimo.AsimoAsimo was introduced by Honda after two decades of humanoid robot research in 1997.The newest model of Asimo was introduced in 2005. -The concept of Honda was to design a robot that can duplicate the complexities of human motion and genuinely help people.

  29. ASIMO DEVOLOPMENT Sergio Ford

  30. Features • HEIGHT    4 ft 3in (130 cm)WEIGHT    119 pounds (54 kg)WALKING SPEED    1.7 mph (2.7 km/hour)RUNNING SPEED    3.7 mph (6 km/hour)WALKING CYCLE    Cycle Adjustable, Stride AdjustableGRASPING FORCE    0.5 kg/hand (5 finger hand)ACTUATOR    Servomotor+Harmonic Speed Reducer+Drive UnitCONTROL UNIT    Walk/Operating Control Unit, Wireless Transmission UnitSENSORS: FOOT    6-axis Foot Area SensorSENSORS: TORSO    Gyroscope & Acceleration SensorPOWER    Rechargeable 51.8V Lithium Ion Battery 13 lbs.OPERATING TIME:    1 hourOPERATION    Workstation and Portable Controller Sergio Ford

  31. Sergio Ford Freedom of Motion • -34 degrees of freedom between its legs, arms, torso. Which mean it can move much like a human. -Asimo consists of lightweight magnesium alloy.

  32. Sergio Ford Function • -Contains powerful computers controlling 34 servos which act as joints and allow it to push carts, turn light switch, and carry things.-Important function of the hands is having opposable thumbs, allowing it to carry odd shaped objects.-Each hand can carry 10 oz. and 2.2 lbs with both hands.  -Kinesthetic Force Sensor senses the direction and amount of force of the hand.

  33. Movement • -Very good balance and walking is smooth. -Intelligence real-time flexible walk (I-walk) and environment recognition technologies allow it to walk up or down stairs or navigate a slope.

  34. Sergio Ford Intelligence • -Using the information captured from the cameras “eyes”, Asimo can detect how far someone is and how high or low the person is from the visual periphery. -Can also respond to commands such as “come here” or “bring me a tray”. -Auto detour function. If something is in Asimo’s path, it will take a different route without moving the object.-It can react to natural motions of a human.  Asimo can interpret  the direction and motion of a hand, recognize posture, gestures and faces.

  35. Interesting • -If a person say’s look at the airplane and points to the sky, Asimo will look towards what the person is pointing to.-Face recognition allows Asimo to recognize your face and store information about you. -Microphones and Cameras work as ears and eyes. Sergio Ford

  36. Sergio Ford Future • -ASIMO may serve as another set of eyes, ears, hands and legs for all kinds of people in need.  -It might help with important tasks like assisting the elderly or a person confined to a bed or a wheelchair. -Also perform certain tasks that are dangerous to humans, such as fighting fires or cleaning up toxic spills.

  37. By: Joel Gomez AI Goes Hollywood

  38. Creates False Identity • Male operator cotrolling a female surrogate. • An adult operator controlling a child surrogate. Joel Gomez

  39. Joel Gomez Disconnects Society From Reality • Can Control Surrogates from home. • Obsession with surrogates • Replace reality with a “better” reality

  40. Joel Gomez Over advancement in Technology • Robots become to smart for humans to control • Robots enslaving humans • If intended for war, robot can become a bigger threat. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPfqODwT9C0
