ReplyDeleteNowadays many car's company has invited smart car, which can drive by itself. people can say anything to the car and it will do it immediately. however, there are some advantage and disadvantage of this product.
ReplyDeleteFirst, some people like to travel to long distance, so this auto driving car can make them feel more relaxed while they are traveling. on the other hand, these cars are not trusted by people because it does not drive very well.
next, this kind of car can save people time. for example, when people go to the mall or airport, so there is a big parking and most of the time they could not find park close the the gate. so this smart car can go by itself and find park and you can go and enjoy your time. however, smart car does not recognize that if there is a person front of the can. so, it might crash the people who walk in the parking.
finally, auto driving cars do not drive over speed, so this is very good for people safety. on the other hand auto driving car can not drive when the weather is snowing or reining.
in brief, i think this car will be improved in the future and will be more popular.
There are also some disadvantages that are produced by Humanoid Robots. Disadvantages are hard to be avoided because with every emerging technology comes a disadvantage you cannot just change things without an effect on something else. One main disadvantage that results from Humanoid Robots will be that many people are going to lose their jobs. Is that visions of a future in which immigrant workers live in Japan are pure fancy. Making humanoid robots is clearly the simple. There are so many people around the world without jobs or money to pay for things they need, and with the mass production of Humanoid Robots this is only going to become worse. It is very frustrating to people when robots are taking away their jobs when robots do not need money, although this is the way it is going to be when robots are able to do things that humans just cannot do. Such as work faster and more efficiently. Robots are going to take away what you would call menial jobs, but what many people do not realize is that people depend on doing those jobs in order to survive and live life day to day.

Humanoid Robots
ReplyDeleteThink about a machine that could almost do everything you want. The humanoid robot is a machine which is programmatic to do what do you want!. In this essay we will focusing about advantages and disadvantages about humanoid robots.
The first advantage is that humanoid robot can working 24/7 without bored.
A disadvantage for using a humanoid robot is that many people will losing their jobs.
Second advantage is humanoid robot programmatic to gives you information that humans can't get, but it needs a supply of power.
Another advantage that they're very accurate on working.
But the biggest disadvantage is that humanoid robot costs a lot of money to build, so it's will cost the customers who's want to buy it too.
I hope that the humanoid robots will be costing a less money to buy in the future. Because they have a lot of advantages.
In these days produce robots become more than the past. The number of people who using it increase and robots become popular. I am going to talk about advantage and disadvantage for humanoid robots.
ReplyDeleteThere is many advantages for humanoid robots. Firstly, help people with the simple daily works. For example, clean home, washing dishes and take order from customers in the restaurants. Secondly, it can do some dangerous activities instead of human.
On the other hand, there is few disadvantages for humanoid robots. First of all, if people buy robots, it may encourage them to be lazy. Secondly, unemployment rate will increase because companies will depend on it. Finally, its price so expensive.
In my idea, its benefits greater than disadvantages. It helps old people to do what they can't.

ReplyDeleteHumanoid robot
ReplyDeleteHumanoid robots is one of the greatest inventions in the world. It could be a special thing which will probably help people to improve their conditions in the life. Also, the humanoid robots might solve lots of problems that we see around the world. However , in this essay I would like to show some of the advantages and disadvantages about using humanoid robots in our life.
First, the main good thing about humanoid robots is that it they can do the hardest works instead of people. For example, if some companies want to carry heavy things , the robots will be able to pick it up without getting tired. Moreover, the real benefit of humanoid robots is that they do not make any mistakes when they work. For instance , if you give the robot a command to do the washing , it will do it correctly without doing anything wrong. That is an amazing things which the humanoid robots can do.
Secondly, the problem with humanoid robots is that they are not perfected yet and cannot work for along time. For example , most of employees can work more than 8 hours in their jobs ,whereas the humanoid robots cannot. Another main argument against humanoid robots is that the cost. A better example is that if the robots can do a lot of things they will definitely cost a lot and only wealthy people can afford them. That is some of the unexpected things may you face if you want to own a humanoid robot.
In conclusion , although there are plenty of positive and negative things about humanoid robots , it seems to me that the humanoid robots are absolutely valuable. Also , humanoid robots are very useful and encourage people to develop the technology that we use. In brief , humanoid robots one of the most important inventions which we should care about it.

Humanoid Robots
ReplyDeletehumanoid robots is a big step forward in technology and it has a lot of advantages and disadvantages.
first of all, humanoid robots can ease our life, it can help carrying heavy stuff. it can do dangerous jobs. secondly, humanoid robots will not make any mistakes if perfection is needed.
However, humanoid robots costs a lot of money and it's battery can go out of charge fast. humanoid robots will take jobs from people who need the work.
To sum up humanoid robots is good to use ,but, in my opinion i don't prefer using humanoid robots because is's expensive and not reliable.
he first main advantage that Humanoid Robots bring to the table is that they can do things that people can do and even things that people are unable to do. The sale and development of these Humanoid Robots will also help increase the economy. Having these robots can make companies more efficient in their work and also spur the economy with their revenue growth! DARPA has created a robot challenge where many different groups and organizations are coming together to build the best humanoid robot possible to help the military. “But humanoid robots can be useful in many scenarios, everything from helping elderly people live in their own homes to responding to disasters, so it is exciting to see DARPA investing in the research foundation for this field” (Guizzo and Ackerman, 2012). With DARPA’s help and the advanced development in Japan soon Humanoid Robots will be in all fields. “The first high profile humanoid robot that grabbed the public’s attention was Honda's ASIMO robot. It demonstrated the state of the art in robotics research and development circa the year 2000. This spurred explosive developments from all over the world leading to rapid advancement in the engineering and control aspects of humanoid robotics. During the past decade the challenge of biped gait movement was tackled by many teams all over the world, each adding and building on subsequent breakthroughs” (Ho, 2011). Humanoid Robots can soon be in everyday life where they can do the jobs that people generally wouldn’t want to do, and do them more efficiently as well. “They are getting more adept all the time, and before too long will be able to do cheaply and easily many tasks that human workers do now. “They will care for the sick, collect the rubbish, guard homes and offices, and give directions on the street. This is great news in Japan, where the population has peaked, and may have begun shrinking in 2005. With too few young workers supporting an aging population, somebody—or something—needs to fill the gap, especially since many of Japan's young people will be needed in science, business and other creative or knowledge-intensive jobs” (Economist, 2011). Life with Humanoid Robots in society will be very different but very efficient and the economy will immensely increase.
ReplyDeleteAnother advantage that results from Humanoid Robots is that they do not make mistakes! This is a great value to some countries hence why Japan is so much more advanced when it comes to this technology. Japan is much more innovative because they would prefer to have robots do menial jobs rather than low waged immigrants from other countries. Japanese people prefer robots because they do not make mistakes and there is not the chance for them to be disrespectful. This solves many problems for Japanese because they have an increasingly older population. It appears that in many western cultures societies are not as comfortable with robots in everyday life as Japan is. Japanese likes robots because they do not make mistakes whereas, “immigrants cannot be programmed as robots can. You never know when they will do something spontaneous, ask an awkward question, or use the wrong honorific in conversation. But, even leaving foreigners out of it, being Japanese, and having always to watch what you say and do around others, is no picnic” (Economist, 2011). This is why the Japanese are so in favor of robots. They can take care of the elderly and be programmed to insure that they will not be disrespectful, as well as be around an elderly person full time and be able to care for their needs and safety! Humanoid Robots not making mistakes is also beneficial in the work place. Robots can work in factories and do the same thing over and over again and not do it any differently. Humans on the other hand will get tired after doing the same thing repetitively and could easily make a mistake. “It is no surprise, therefore, that Japanese researchers are forging ahead with research on human interfaces. For many jobs, after all, lifelike features are superfluous.

ReplyDeleteAuto-driving cars.
ReplyDeleteIn modern life, we are seeing a lot of changes. All people in the world cannot imagine if we will have Auto-driving cars I mean this is impossible. However, the Scientists still looking for the best way to help some people if they cannot drive. In this essay I would like to talk about the advantages and the disadvantages of the Auto-driving cars.
The most important benefit in this invention it can be help some people. For example, People who historically have difficulties with driving specifically, people with disability, very young people and old people to be able to move. There would be no need for drivers' licenses or driving tests. Moreover, the very good advantages are help women in Saudi Arabia.For example, to go to their jobs, school, shopping mall and hospital. Some families do not have children to help them to move. So, the Auto-driving cars will help them in the future.
The disadvantages of Auto-driving cars are Truck drivers and taxi drivers will lose their jobs. Because the auto driving cars will take their jobs. Also, hackers could be getting into the cars software and controlling or affecting its operation would be a major security worry. Moreover, we know when have auto driving cars some people will depend on this car. I mean we will not do any activity. For example, we will not help the family, we will sleep all the time and we will get fat.
In conclusion, in my opinion, this invention will help people if they use it in a good way. However, we should take care about the hackers if we see in legal things. For example, high speed, if the cars go to another way and if the car did not accept your instructions. You should take care.

Auto-driving Cars
ReplyDeleteDo you get angry or tired from driving your car? Now, there is new invention, it will change your life to the best. But, this invention has some disadvantages can hurt you or others. it is auto-driving car. In this essay, I am going to proffer some advantages and disadvantages of this invention.
First of all, there are a lot of advantages of auto-driving car. First one, it is very beneficial to disable people who cannot drive car. They can enter the coordinates of any place to the car's system and just relax, and the car will take them wherever they want. Second one, it can be more specific than you. For example, unless you know the place where you want to go to, it can take you to the places exactly.
On the contrary, there are a number of disadvantages of this invention. Firstly, it can cause many fatal accidents on the roads. For instance, if there is something appears suddenly on the road, it may not avoid this dangerous thing quickly. Secondly, it tends to cost much money from users, and some people cannot afford its costs. For example, if there is some damages in it, you will need a lot of money to fix it.
In conclusion, the auto-driving car has a lot of advantages and some disadvantages else. In my opinion, I think it is very effective, useful and helpful for many people around the world. In addition, I think it has more benefits than abuses.

ReplyDeleteAuto-driving cars
ReplyDeleteNowadays, technology developing so fast. A lot of things has be changed. The engineers working hard to discover something new. One of the most interesting invention Auto- driving cars. In this essay I will write about the advantages and disadvantages.
First, the advantages of auto-driving cars will be no human errors. So, the number of accidents will be less. Also, it is help disabilities and they can drive to anywhere. Regarding to parking, we will need less space for parking. The car will be able to drop you off then find a parking further away.
Second, the disadvantages of auto-driving cars will be worry about breakdown the computer. Which leads to loss of control on the cars. Also, all the taxi drivers will become unemployed. And this would be including lorry drivers and puss drivers. Regarding to the price it's will be too expensive, and therefore most people will not be able to buy them.
Finally, it is will be a good invention. We can relax and enjoy our trips. But, still it is need more of development to be more save.

Auto-driving cars
ReplyDeleteMost of cars companies these days want to developing an auto-driving cars,and make it drive to any place without someone drive it.
This great idea but it has an advantages and disadvantages .
First, the advantages for auto-driving cars is many,so one of them it's the auto-driving car can take you to any where without any effort from you ,just touch on the map and select the destination and it's well take to it.
Another advantage ,it's save your time,for example you are going to another city and the way is long , while you traveling you can watch some TV or even you want to sleep ,and don't be scared the car will run alarm to make you wake up .
Now , we are going to see the disadvantages ,first the car can't organize the things on the road like when anyone cross the road the car will crash him .
Also maybe if there is a excavation on the road the car will make accident and that will be terrible.
Finally, i thenk it's will be a good thing but it's has to take a time the know all the consequences.

Scientists say that auto-driving cars may be one of the most important features in the following decades. Only you sit comfortably and the car drives you to your destinations without any effort.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of advantages for auto driving cars can be mentioned. First, The leading cause of most automobile accidents today is driver error. Alcohol, drugs, speeding, aggressive driving, over-compensation, inexperience, slow reaction time, inattentiveness, and ignoring road conditions are all contributing factors. Given some 40 percent of accidents can be traced to the abuse of drugs and or alcohol, self-driving cars would practically eliminate those accidents altogether. The Eno study found if ten percent of all cars were self-driving, as many as 211,000 accidents would be prevented annually. Some 1,100 lives would be preserved, and the economic costs of automobile accidents would be reduced by more than $20 billion. If 90 percent of cars were self-driving, the numbers are even more sobering (sorry, couldn’t resist). The Eno Center’s study found up to 4.2 million accidents would be prevented; 21,700 lives would be preserved and more than $400 billion in related costs would be eliminated. This is all great news for pretty much everybody—except of course your local body shops, emergency services companies, and morticians. Those businesses would see a considerable drop-off in revenues.
One of the leading causes of traffic jams is selfish behavior among drivers. It has been shown when drivers space out and allow each other to move freely between lanes on the highway, traffic continue to flow smoothly, regardless of the number of cars on the road. In fact, we have the capability of pretty much eliminating traffic jams right now. All we would have to do is allow three to four car lengths of space between our car and the car in front of us, even in slow-moving traffic. The way we drive now, when traffic gets heavy, if someone needs to change lanes to exit the freeway, or if someone needs to enter the freeway, everybody has to stop to let it happen because we drive packed so tightly together. And, there’s no other way to say it, we do this out of selfishness.
From another hand there are a lot of dis advantages . If driverless vehicles rely on sensors placed all around the car to assess conditions and navigate traffic, what happens if one or more sensors get damaged? How does the car respond? Does it just keep going and hope not to hit anything? The amount of software and technology that’s required to build a driverless vehicle is likely to be quite expensive, meaning these costs need to be recouped through high sales prices. Consumers may not want to pay such high costs for a driverless car and may prefer to stick to the current system.
In my point of view , I think auto drives cars will increase and spread in the future.

Humanoid robot is one of the autonomous robots where it placed in that categorize because of its ability which are the same as the autonomous ones. Beside the ability what makes the humanoid robot special because of the design of the body or the outer appearance that look like just like mare human. All the characteristics that possessed on human are also it’s got even though it just a simple one. To become the humanoid robot the developer not needed to equip the robot with all the part that human possess like a head , arm ,legs and others, but when the robot just have one of the part it’s also can be called as the humanoid robot as long as it look like a human. What make the humanoid robot differ than the others robots are the capability of the robot to make an interaction either with human or each other.
ReplyDeleteSame as the normal robot, the humanoid robot also needed the same components or part in order to function. The parts that it’s needed are the actuator, sensors, body and also programing that became the most important thing that controls the robot. Each of the parts is needed for the different functions. For the example we take the sensor, the sensor are the devise that used in the body of the robots. There are many kinds of sensor that attach in the robot such as pressure and touch sensor, light sensors, sonar sensors and many more. All the sensor are used so that the robot could sense the dangers or the obstacles that appears when they got involved to the environment and then all the sense that detected will be send to the software which is programs or in other words the intelligent of the robot that created by the programmer then makes a decision to perform the solution.
The design of these kind of robot like a human being make people that want to interact with it feel save comfortable either for the young or the elders. The latest design of the humanoid robot are focused on the interaction had make between the robot and the human. The term for this interaction are called as the human robot interaction (HRI). The way of the interaction are improved by time to time that makes the interaction between them become more enjoyable like having a normal interaction with a person.

In these days, the world is development faster and people try to improv their lives to be easy. The people made a humanoid robots, and they try to develop this invention. However, this invention has advantages and disadvantages. So this essay will mention some of advantages and disadvantages.
ReplyDeleteHumanoid robot will help the people to make their lives easier. It has many of advantages. First, people can use the humanoid robot for service houses. For example, the humanoid robot can clean the house, wash dishes, and laundry. Second, people can use it on factories or on something dangerous. Also, they can make the humanoid robot drivers and pilots. Finally, the government can make the humanoid robots soldiers.
However, the humanoid robot has a disadvantages. The humanoid robot will effect the people's live. First, the people can't find jobs because they will use humanoid robot. Second, the people with be lazy because they will use humanoid robot. Also, maybe some people will use the humanoid robot for a bad thing like, stealing or fighting. Finally, there is a big problem if there some people hack the humanoid robot and use it for a bad thing.
In the short, the humanoid robot is a good invention, but the people have to control them. If the people can't take care of them, it will be a big problem. In my opinion, it will a good idea if they stop making or development the humanoid robot. Or if they will continue making the humanoid robot, they should use the humanoid robot for something dangerous for the people.

First of all, I will talk about Auto-driving cars advantages and disadvantages, its a new invention and it might be used in the future and in the end I'm going to tell you about my opinion .
ReplyDeleteThe advantages if we talk about the mean driver it's more comfortable for him because he won't do any thing because the car it will drive by itself, also if we talk about people how cant park their car the car will park instead of him .
The dis advantages , its a new invention and all the scientists always afraid of the new invention, therefor because its a new invention may if its raining will spoiled and the system will go down .
finally , I think its a good invention and I'm so excited to see the Auto-driving cars.
auto-driving cars''
ReplyDeletethe cars are a very old invention ,The cars in the past are uncomfortable and have evolved until they have a complete technology and comfort And it became something called AUTO-driving ,In this essay I will write some advantage and disadvantage
advantages of the auto-driving is You can travel long distances without fatigue and Older and Disabled people can drive alone
some disadvantages This property can not be driven in sandy or off-road roads
in the conclusion my opinion This property is useful for the elderly and disabled
