Robot The term robot robot, derived from the Slav term robota = executive labor, was introduced in 1920 by the Czech playwright Karel Čapek in the play “Rossum’s Universal Robots”

Basilio Bona 3 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

But the concept behind a robot robot appeared many years before any real robot was built

What is a Robot?

Frankenstein (1818 and 1931)

Metropolis (1927)

Basilio Bona 6 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

The film ‘Metropolis’ directed by Fritz Lang was released in 1927. It was one of the favorite movies of George Lucas. Inspired by it, he created the most celebrated droid C-3P0 after “Maria” the robot

The Forbidden Planet (1956)

Basilio Bona 7 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

Forbidden Planet is a pretty old science fiction film released in 1956. The characters and setting were inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and the plot doesn’t have much differences. Robby’s character was inspired by the Sprite in the play. Robby is one of the first movie robots who demonstrates his own personality. Before his appearance, they tended to lack personality characteristics, being simple artificial machines.

ED-209 in ‘RoboCop,’ 1987

Here is another robot from the thrilling action movie ‘RoboCop’ (1987)

SLIDE 11

Basilio Bona 11 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

Robot Andrew in ‘Bicentennial Man’ (1999).

It is based on the well-known short story by Isaac Asimov. Robot Andrew from the first sight seems to be the ordinary robot but the only thing that distinguishes him is that he can feel and share his emotions.

Robot from ‘Artificial Intelligence’

‘Artificial Intelligence’ is one of the science fiction movies where the main character is a robotic boy who really longs to become human. The robot depicted on the image above is also from this movie.

Cylon from “Battlestar Galactica”

Cylons were a race of war machines created by an ancient lizard-like race extinct centuries ago. When they discovered humans as the most practical living beings, they copied human bodies and became even more invulnerable. Cylons could live forever because every part of their body could be changed or repaired.

SLIDE 14

Robot B9 is a fictional character of several science fiction films. This one was taken from “Lost in Space” released in 1998 and directed by Stephen Hopkins.

Sonny in “I, Robot’”

Basilio Bona 15 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

That is how the robots may look like in the year 2035. Sonny is a fictional character from the movie “I, Robot” directed by Alex Proyas. The events take place exactly in 2035 year, when the robots have become an integral part

f people life. But Sonny has appeared the smartest one.

Marvin in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” 2005

Basilio Bona 16 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

Marvin is the ship’s robot aboard the starship Heart of Gold. Marvin’s personality can be characterized in the following way: he is apparently afflicted with severe depression and boredom, he is very intelligent, but rarely is able to use his brain.

SLIDE 17

WALL-E is a 2008 computer-animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Andrew Stanton. The story follows a robot named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in the

future. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and follows

her into outer space on an adventure that changes the destiny of both his kind and humanity.

Timeline 1970: SRI Shakey

Shakey was the first mobile robot to reason about its actions. Developed by SRI's (Stanford Research Institute) Artificial Intelligence Center from 1966 through 1972. Shakey has had a substantial legacy and influence on present-day artificial intelligence and robotics.

Shakey had a TV camera, a triangulating range finder, and bump sensors, and was connected to DEC PDP-10 and PDP-15 computers via radio and video links.

Basilio Bona 22 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

computers via radio and video links. Shakey used programs for perception, world-modeling, and acting. Low-level action routines took care of simple moving, turning, and route planning. Intermediate level actions strung the low level ones together in ways that robustly accomplished more complex tasks. The highest level programs could make and execute plans to achieve goals given it by a user. The system also generalized and saved these plans for possible future use.

Neuroprotesi robotiche

Basilio Bona 31 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

Le neuro interfacce o neuro-protesi sono una delle dieci tecnologie emergenti dei prossimi anni

Previsioni per il futuro? Una cosa è certa

Non basta dotare un robot di due braccia e due gambe

Basilio Bona 32 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

Occorre includere anche un cervello

SLIDE 33

Conclusioni

Il concetto stesso di robot è un concetto filosofico, capace di suscitare interrogativi su vita, pensiero, linguaggio e molte altre cose. Sì, a volte mi chiedo se i robot non siano stati inventati per rispondere a quesiti filosofici. inventati per rispondere a quesiti filosofici.

Una riflessione

Tutti volevano una macchina capace di eseguire la maggioranza delle funzioni umane, però nessuno voleva una macchina umana. C’erano problemi di intelletto: una macchina sempliciotta non sarebbe stata meglio di una scimmia ammaestrata (e chi vuole che una scimmia ammaestrata gli lavi la ceramica Wedgwood?), mentre una macchina intelligente poteva perdersi nei suoi meandri

Basilio Bona 34 ROBOTICA 03CFIOR

R. Giovannoli La Scienza della fantascienza

cita J. Sladek Tik-Tok

macchina intelligente poteva perdersi nei suoi meandri cognitivi e non fare niente […]. C’erano problemi di complessità: a una macchina sempliciotta bisognava spiegare, nei minimi particolari, come fare una cosa, mentre una macchina intelligente poteva decidere che per quel giorno non le andava di fare niente …
