Self-Organization and Human Robots

چکیده
Introduction Humans are rather funny things, we often tend to imagine that we are so ‘special’, so divorced by our supposed ‘intelligence’ from the influences of the ‘natural world’ and so unique in our ‘abstracting’ abilities. We have this persistent delusion, evident since ancient Greek times, that we are ‘rational’, that we can behave as ‘disinterested observers’ of our world, which manifests in AI thought today in a belief that, in a like manner, we can ‘design’, God like, from afar, our replacements, those ‘super-robots’ that will do everything that we can imagine doing, but in much ‘better’ ways than we can achieve, and yet can avoid doing anything ‘nasty’, i.e. can overcome our many human failings obeying, I suppose, in the process, Asimov’s three ‘laws of robotics’. Such human naiveté proves, in fact, to be quite amusing, at least to those of us ‘schooled’ in AI history. When we look at the aspirations and the expectations of our early ‘pioneers’, and compare them to the actual reality of today, then we must, it seems, re-discover the meaning of the word ‘humility’. Enthusiasm, good as it may be, needs to be moderated with a touch of ‘common sense’, and if our current ways of doing things in our AI world don’t really work as we had hoped, then perhaps it is time to try something different (Lucas, C., 1999)?

Comparative analysis of automation of production process with industrial robots in Asia/Australia and Europe
The term "INDUSTRY 4.0" or "fourth industrial revolution" was first introduced at the fair in 2011 in Hannover. It comes from the high-tech strategy of the German Federal Government that promotes automation-computerization to complete smart automation, meaning the introduction of a method of self-automation, self-configuration, self-diagnosing and fixing the problem, knowledge and intelligent d...
متن کاملAre Autonomous Mobile Robots Able to Take Over Construction? A Review
Although construction has been known as a highly complex application field for autonomous robotic systems, recent advances in this field offer great hope for using robotic capabilities to develop automated construction. Today, space research agencies seek to build infrastructures without human intervention, and construction companies look to robots with the potential to improve construction qua...
متن کاملSelf-Organization and Self-Coordination in Welding Automation with Collaborating Teams of Industrial Robots
In welding automation, growing interest can be recognized in applying teams of industrial robots to perform manufacturing processes through collaboration. Although robot teamwork can increase profitability and cost-effectiveness in production, the programming of the robots is still a problem. It is extremely time consuming and requires special expertise in synchronizing the activities of the ro...
متن کاملAutomated Design of Adaptive Controllers for Modular Robots using Reinforcement Learning
Designing distributed controllers for self-reconfiguring modular robots has been consistently challenging. We have developed a reinforcement learning approach which can be used both to automate controller design and to adapt robot behavior on-line. In this paper, we report on our study of reinforcement learning in the domain of self-reconfigurable modular robots: the underlying assumptions, the...

Introduction: Adolescence who have self-harm behaviors (SHS) or tendency to suicide experience different psychopathological problems. Two potential critical risk factors - insecure attachment and especially borderline personality organization- have been underexplored in the literature despite the fact that both of these structures are central to understanding these problematic behaviors. The ob...
