a. Specify the main OBJECTIVE(S) for which you design your robot. This objective should be relevant to your application domain and it should be feasible using the robot assigned to you. Motivate your objective and argue why the robot assigned to you is suited to reach that objective.The objective I have in mind for “pepper” is to provide travel destination details to the customers who come to my travel agency for information. Instead of my personal input on clients who primarily only want information and don't necessarily want to make travel plans immediately, “pepper” can allow them to be well-informed of all our travel plans through an interactive and fun way. I can teach “pepper” to access our online database and memorise the details of all the travel plans we offer and the fact that he is connected to the internet can allow customers to view the ratings of travel destinations, hotels, packages etc. as well as see what our customers have commented on our services. This will allow me to focus all of my energy on customers who want to commit to a travel plan as opposed to just explore options.
b. Describe a USE-CASE with appropriate methods that...
Explain how this is achieved.
The tablet attached to “pepper” can be used as an appropriate method to exhibit majority information to the customers. The tablet can act as a visual display to the information that “pepper” is providing to the customers which means the customer will not have to look elsewhere for additional input and can interact with the robot to attain answers to all queries that they might have. This use-case will be an appropriate method to attain to primary objective of providing potential but non-committing customers with details of all our travel plans.
c. Specify one of the INTERACTION PATTERNS (shaped by one or more functions) to bring about your use case (or part thereof). Focus here on the modality of interaction (speech, gesture or otherwise), keeping in mind the strengths and weaknesses of your robot (refer to those).
The interaction pattern that can be used in support of the use-case above will primarily be speech. Since “pepper” can sense emotions and body language, it will adapt its speech to engage customers in a joyful and hopeful tone to support the more…
Human-Robot Interaction There is a problem with clarity in the question – I've been assigned a robot, and the question accepts that, but the question asks "for which you design your robot." The robot has already been designed, so the question is nonsensical. There is also the claim that terms in capital letters are defined in Looijie – this is also false. Those terms are used in that paper, and form
Final results reveal far better efficiency in the worksheets for sessions wherein the robot gazed away from, when compared with the session it gazed in the direction of the child, because the child had been entering the worksheets. This had been the situation particularly for the much more tough worksheet elements. These results emphasize the require for cautious execution of social robot conducts to prevent disadvantageous outcomes. Based on Herberg,
Before this research was conducted, it could have been possible that none of the identified factors would actually affect peoples' perceptions, or that people would have drastically different experiences based on distance, specific companion robot functions, and the type of behavior exhibited by the companion robots. It was only through experimentation, the next step in the scientific method, that answers to these questions were achieved. All experiments must control certain
Human and Machine Intelligence The similarities and differences between human and machine intelligence doesn't seem to be the most important issue. It seems clear that both have been shown to exist, though they have very fundamentally different characteristics. The issue now centers more on supremacy: Is one better, more authoritative than the other? And if so, does this influence whether a "superintelligence" (Bostrom, 2003) exists that takes us to the paradigm
As a result, it can be said that the workplace of the modern world has changed beyond recognition with the revolution brought by the technological advancements. The technological transformation in the last two decades has been drastic and this trend will continue for the next many decades as robots are increasing replacing jobs that require the engagement of repetitive, customized actions. There are a number of jobs that are at
Foucault (1981) suggested that modern social life is bound up with the rise of "disciplinary power," which could be controlled and regulated (Giddens, 1992). Foucault termed sexuality "an especially dense transfer point for relations of power," a point which can become a focus of social control. We might see internet sexuality as reflecting a change in the locus of power, where the internet has become a dense transfer medium for
