Agents vs. Rossum’s Robots: Towards Intelligent Living Machines*
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we rethink the problem of intelligent living machines in the context of original Robots from the play R. U. R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Karel Čapek. We analyze Robots in terms of recent artificial intelligence paradigms – cognitivism, emergentism and enactive viewpoint –, and highlight conceptual positives and mistakes of Robot inventors. Finally, we draw a line between Robots and current research in AI and discuss which novel research directions could be fruitful and which could end in an impasse. The aim is not to criticize any research efforts, rather, to isolate some problems with the hopes of furthering debate.

Artificial Intelligence Grounded in Reality
At the Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MIL) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida (UF), we seek to develop fundamental knowledge and gain practical experience in the design, realization, and application of intelligent, autonomous, sensor-driven, behaviorbased robotic agents. These agents generate knowledge, share information and learn to improve ...
متن کاملNew Heuristic Algorithm for Flow Shop Scheduling with 3 Machines and 2 Robots Considering the Breakdown Interval of Machines and Robots Simultaneously
Scheduling is an important subject of production and operations management area. In flow-shop scheduling, the objective is to obtain a sequence of jobs which when processed in a fixed order of machines, will optimize some well defined criteria. The concept of transportation time is very important in scheduling. Transportation can be done by robots. In situations that robots are used to transpor...

متن کاملArtificial life and living systems: Insight into artificial life and its implications in life science research
Advanced technology has made it possible to build machines and systems like robots, which are capable of making intelligent decisions. Robots capable of self-replication and perform human functions are also available. The current challenge is to design evolutionary systems with high complexity comparable to that of biological networks. This is proposed to be achieved by ALife (Artificial Life)....
