Class Discussion: Principle of Subjectivity

If two robots have been constructed to be identical, is it possible to train only one, and then pass the code (or “knowledge”) to the other one, with the resulting robots being identical in behavior? What if the robot are not physically identical? Does the answer depend on what precisely the robot is learning?

A Brief History of Robotics

First introduced in the play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) which

  • pened in Prague in

January 1921. The word ‘robot’ is derived from the Czech word for forced labor or serf.
