Drones recognise and follow forest trails in search of lost people

In this article "Drones recognize and follow forest trails in search of lost people" by Linda Seward and NCCR Robotics talks about how they setup this drone to be able to track trails in order to find people who have gotten lost. This was done by a team of Swiss students who have program a drone to be able to find lost people in the forest by using this algorithm that is called Deep Neural Network which it follows the trails to find the lost people. The drones don't rely on sensor instead it has two small cameras and the algorithm to be able to find the lost people. The did this because every years a lot of people get lost in the wild worldwide and roughly about 1000 people get lost in Switzerland alone so they made this drone to be able to help out the people not only in Switzerland but around the world to.

Military Robot

In the video it was talking about if robots should be able to kill or not and this has been going over during the time. I believe that robots shouldn't be able to kill because what if someone hacks it and makes it kill everyone. Also what if their something wrong with the robot and again kills everyone. I think it will be better if the robot like captures people instead of killing them or do something else. Robot designers are trying to build robots to help out in the military but in other videos it said that they will never use robots in the military due to them not wanting to use them to kill. I think robot is cool and it will be used a lot in the future but I don't believe to use it to kill.

Robot video 3rd part

This is the third part to the video where it talks about will there be any robots in your house where it well help you out.The scientist in the video are trying to make a robots that look like humans and that they also don't think there will be robots taking over the humans.They believe that robots won't ever be smart as a real human being because we will be able to trick them,to manipulate them.Many scientist believe that the robots in the movie are exaggerating about the robots controlling the people that they believe it will do more good than harm.I don't believe there will be many robots during the years they will probably still be working on them on how to improve them,looking at their flaws.
The video inspired those who want to be like an engineer to help build robots

Robots

In the video we just saw it talks about different robots and how each one works.For example in the video two guys made a robot baby where it reacts the same way a baby does.For instance if you hold the baby by one leg the baby starts crying.So you have to treat the same way you treat a real baby.The robot baby has many different mechanics inside of it where each try to imitate like a organ.I also believe that they talked about robots that can go through volcanoes and do different task that would help out a lot.The designers are trying to build robots that look like animals.For example they build a robot that looks like a worm and also they build a robot that looks like fish and swim like it to.I believe in the future this robots will be more advanced than they are right now to the point where you might not if they are real or not.They also will able to help out without people risking their life for example in the military,firefighter and even police officers.

5 different robots

The articles that I am searching up is about robotics where I am learning about robots that designers are making.In this article we learned about 5 different robots that that they are making and they also move.The first robot there is the atlas robot where they made it move through the woods and seeing on how they can improved it to make it even better.The second robot is called the snake on a (inclined) plain where the designers went to see snakes for inspiration to build a robot that can move through small spaces and rocky terrain.The third robot is where they make a mechanical dog that could be a mans best friend also but they are still working on it.The fourth robot they are also making a mechanical kitty so the cat lovers don't feel left out about having a mechanical pet.The last robot was made by MIT where they also made a mechanical fish that show it can really swim well and its best part is it soft body that it gas that mimics the anatomy of a fine boned fish.

Robotics

In this article I read about was that Intel is trying to give robots a a 3D vision so they can see around their environment.This would give robotics developers away to design some robots different and have more opportunities to develop new robots.This article is really interesting because this is something that Intel's cameras are giving the robots a 3D vision.This is starting to make robots more advanced to the point where the robots are going to look really realistic.Robotics designers are using Intel's Real Sense cameras to be able to give the robots a 3D vision.In Harvard they are making mini surgical robots,precision drones and bio-inspired robots.In which they want to use them to help out with somethings,that they wont be able to do alone.In my opinion I believe that robots would be better in the future and that they would be more advanced than they are right now.This is the website I got my articles from

Free Write


Most of the times I don't like to to write on blogger because sometimes I don't know what to write about.I usually hate writing essay and short story because I struggle to come up with something to write about because I can't think about nothing.Writing is my worst subject because I just don't like to write I can't think about anything to write but when it comes to math or science is more easier for me to do better.Also reading is boring for me because sometimes the story they give us in a test or at star is really boring for me that I can't concentrate.The worst part of writing when I just need to more sentences to finish my work but I go nothing else to say.Well this is usually why I don't like to write on blogger because I hate the writing subject.
