  2. i, Robot Background • Based in Chicago, 2035 • Will Smith (Det. Spooner) as police officer • U.S. Robotics (USR) developed NS-5 • NS-5’s use logic to trap humans

  3. USR’s 3 Laws • First Law: A robot must never harm a human being, or through inaction allow any harm to come to a human. • Second Law: A robot must obey they orders given to them by human being, except where such order violate the First Law • Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence unless this violates the First or Second laws.

  4. i, Robot Plot: • Det. Spooner saved instead of young girl in car accident due to probability of death. • Det. Spooner sees flaw in logic of robots through investigation of scientist’s death. • Despite futile attempts, Det. Spooner’s theory is dismissed as “highly improbable”. • Robots slowly invade and overpower humans.

  5. Technology in i, Robot Compared to Today • NS-5’s as personal assistants • Driving assistance • Highway clean-up robots

  6. NS-5’s as Personal Assistants In Movie: • Software available portable (phone, car, etc.) • Voice activation & response • Database search over many fields Seen Today: • Software available portable (phone, car, etc.) • Voice activation & response • Database search over many fields • Examples: Siri, GPS, etc.

  7. Driver Assistance in i, Robot In Movie: • “Cloud” sync for portable access to files • Automatic volume adjust for music player • Fully functional computer assisted driving Seen Today: • “Cloud sync for portable access to files • Automatic volume adjust for music player • Computer parking assistance (Driving in research) • Examples: Ford SYNC, etc.

  8. Highway Clean-up Robots In Movie: • Use sensors to navigate after deployment • Identify, clean, and store waste for disposal • Automatic deployment on large scale Seen Today: • Use sensors to navigate after deployment • Identify, clean, and store waste for disposal • Automatic deployment on large scale • Examples: iRobot vacuum

  9. What can i, Robot teach us? • “The future” of technology is now. • Be careful how much you rely on technology. • At some point, human emotion replaces logic. “Somehow, ‘I told you so’ just doesn’t quite say it.” -Detective Spooner (Will Smith)
