Robotics: The future is now

Source

The robotics is a branch of technology that is in charge of the study for the design and construction of machines that are capable of doing the work for the human being.
The origin of robotics comes from the construction of wanting to build artifacts, trying to create similar beings to us to take care of our work.

The Spanish Leonardo Torres Quevedo, who was the one who built the first remote control for his torpedo car, the first air shuttle among other things, coined the term "automatic" in relation to the theory of automation of work Daily life of humans.

In 1921, the Czech writer Karel Capek in his work "Rossum's Universal Robots / RUR", coined the terminology "Robot" from the Czech word "Robbota" meaning "Bondage or Forced Labor".

But most attributed to robotics is **Isaac Asimo ** who was a writer and professor of biochemistry, n, known for being a prolific author of works of science fiction, history and scientific dissemination and is in charge of creation Three Laws of Robotics, which are:

• A robot can not harm a human being or, by inaction, allow a human being to suffer damage.

• A robot must obey orders given by humans, except if these orders conflict with the First Law.

• A robot must protect its own existence to the extent that this protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

These laws are born as a measure of protection to the human being, according to Asimov to create laws to counteract the "complex Frankentein", ie avoid a rebellion against its creators.

Because of this, some questions arise:

What would happen if the machine can figure out what these three laws currently cover?
As for example to know at the moment if a person is in danger or not.

Is it really possible for a robot to fail to comply with its established laws?

Situations of the stories created by Asimov are based on situations where the answer would be **"Yes **. Of the most common situations that arise is where the robot must damage a human being in order to save the life of one or more, thus violating the first law of robotics and therefore becomes unusable.

Robotics has reached a very important boom in recent years, due to inventions for everyday tasks such as "walking, running, grabbing some object". It is hoped that an increase in the creation of research on artificial intelligence, artificial vision and other sciences that allow the human being to fulfill the long-desired dream of creating artificial beings possessing their own intelligence and reasoning.

Always taking into account the risks they may bring.
