In a lot of movies we can notice AI which
helps the researcher/astronaut to control spaceship or explore endless space.
For example in Interstellar there is TARS which
is U.S. Marine Corps tactical robot. It is one of the crew members. This robot
is programmed to talk with astronauts during the journey. TARS is very suited
companion because it can act sarcastic and humorous also it can help operate
spaceship or go out with members to explore new planets.
You can wonder
why I'm talking about it. By Airbus, in cooperation with IBM in 29 July a small
robot with artificial intelligence (AI) was send to the International Space Station.
CIMON short for “Crew
Interactive Mobile Companion ” is a new tool for astronaut in ISS which in the
future will help members with many things. Robot is made up of plastic and
metal, created using 3D printing and it weight something like 5 kg. Software is
run on Linux Ubuntu. It look like football with small display and few speakers,
CIMON is equipped with animated face to facilitate conversation. By facial
recognition software robot know whom it’s talking to. The robot is able to fly
around, by sucking air and blow it through by special tubes. For now robot can
show astronauts the content of routine procedure or possible alert about
abnormal situation on board. It can cares about the mental condition of the
crew by for example offer crew member to play with Rubik’c cube, but most of
all it will always learn about everything and by this it can propose solution
to specific problem faced by the ISS crew.
Crew member of
the ISS crew could say something like,
'CIMON, could you please help me perform a certain experiment? Could you please
help me with the procedure?' after this CIMON will fly towards the member
and start communicate.
After this test
which was placed on June, AI is very useful in space using a quote:
"Having
AI — having that knowledge base and the ability to tap into it in a way that's
useful for the task that you're doing — is really critical for having humans
further and further away from the planet," Kirk Shireman, NASA's
International Space Station (ISS) program manager, said during a prelaunch news
conference(June 28).
Thinking about
future, we can imagine a lot of new possibilities. For example machines will
repair damaged spacecraft system, treat sick crewmember or go out on the
surface of the planet to help build new base on the Mars. There is new
possibilities coming out from this small idea which will grow up very fast in
my perspective.
Questions:
- What do you think? Will we have such a thing like TARS from Interstellar?
- Could you work side by side with the robot?
- What do you thing about AI and connected it with robot? It can be beginning of the end of mankind?

Comments
Consider something more: an android that imitates human in everything. Scared? Or exited? Try answering those questions for yourself:
1. Would you consider having a relationship with an android that looks like a human?
2. Would you let an android take care of your children?
3. If you needed emergency surgery, would you agree to be operated on by a machine?
I am more inclined to say that there won't be any end of mankind caused by AI.
I think that yes, but it will take a lot of time
2) Could you work side by side with the robot?
Yes, it might be interesting :)
3) What do you thing about AI and connected it with robot? It can be beginning of the end of mankind?
It will be a new era, but I don't think it will be beginning of the end - I think that we will develop a lot
2. Of course, why not? But I am not sure that I could work with it for a long time since I do not consider the robot a full-fledged replacement for a person, and live communication is always better than a robot.
3. Artificial intelligence is gaining popularity and is able to help in everyday affairs, so I think that connecting it with a robot is a good idea. No, this is not the beginning of the end - it is just a new step into the future.
Yes, I can work with a robot. In my opinion, robots work in many ways better and more accurately than human beings, they share the feeling of doing their jobs, and only do their defined tasks. If this is an artificial intelligence robot, his capabilities and solutions, and his faster access to information, can also improve the quality of work.
In my opinion, no, this can not be the beginning of the end of humanity.
I do not think robots will end humanity. Soon people will finish themselves.
In the subject of AI and coexistence of people and machines, I recommend a movie
"HER".
Working with a robot might be easier than working with a human. Robots don't complain, they are not lazy. It might be a great companion to work with.
In case of human ai relations I have to agree with Krzysztof. Movie HER is worth watching.
Yes, why not. I don't have any objection to be working with the robots. However, I believe the communication between 2 humans will be better than human and robot.
This subject was discussed many times. We need to be very careful when developing AI.
I would love to work side by side with robot or advanced AI. Such machines would be great to help people with complicated tasks and it would speed up technology development even more. In addition robots could assist humans in many more areas. In my opinion it would be great to develop machines which would be able to perform all this “mindless” everyday human activities. This would allow us to concentrate on activities in which people are especially good.
I think that connecting AI with robot is necessary to truly make us of AI. In fact robot without AI is just simple automate, which can do only preprogrammed things. What is more, I think that we are safe from “robotic apocalypse” until we develop true AI. Current intelligent machines are in fact computational intelligence, which can just perfectly simulate certain behaviours and perform tasks which were impossible for normal algorithms. I think, that when we finally create thinking machines we would be able to cooperate with them to create better world.
I don’t think that I really need robot for my work. It can be voice assistant with AI and UI that will answer my question instantly(if I forget something), write notes and will help to visualize some idea. I’m programmer and therefore I don’t need robot with “arms and legs” to help me, I can write code myself.
Connect AI with robot good idea but creators should make some restrictions for robots(for example “DON’T KILL PEOPLE”). As far as I know those rules are already created by Isaac Asimov, mankind should remember this rules.
2. Of course! There's nothing cooler than having a robot sidekick! Besides, I imagine that working with a robot would be more productive and even quite relaxing.
3. Not necessarily. Considering how on guard we are in this matter I doubt that connecting AI with a machine will cause the end of mankind.
As for whether AI could result in an end of mankind, I don't know. We simply don't know enough to determine that. It's possible that it would result in the end of mankind, it could also result in a new age of mankind as well. It could also be the beginning of an era of transhumanism - there's no way for us to know.
The description of CIMON appeared to me that this robot could be really useful, so I think that it wouldn't be a problem for me to work with it. It's a pity that such robots aren't used in our everyday life, but only in space. ;)
I believe that it's not the beggining of the end of the mankind, from what we can see this kind of robots are rather intended to help people not to replace them, so I don't see any threat for mankind in developing them.
2. I think that for my job is it not possible to work side by side with the robot but on the other hand I use computer to programming and I use programs which helps me with programming so maybe I already work with the robot? It's hard to say but I think that robots will help people with hard physical jobs in the nearest future.
3. I don't think so because we will program it to make decisions only in limited area of knowledge.
Yes and yes. Definitely, sooner or later, artificial intelligence will reach the point of development that wants to dominate humanity.
2. Definitely. I would have to go through certain training or courses first but in the end I think I would be able to cooperate with a robot/AI.
3. It might be. Personally I think that AI should be more about advising humans when they make their decisions than acting itself. If AI gets advanced enough it can come up with ideas or decisions that humans won't be able to predict. That is why I don't think that connecting it to a robot is a good idea. It might pose a real threat to humans.
2. Maybe, but if we will have control for example immediate switch of button. And just if I go from home for just a few hours.
3. 3. Yes. For example we have robots which helps to surgery very small part of brain.
I would prefer to work side by side with a robot. The main reason is there won't be any personal prejudice. I won't be worried to rely on it. Even if something happens it would be probably my mistake in communication with the robot.
I'm ninety nine percent sure that it won't happen. And my first reason: "why it suppose to kill us?". Just because human kind destroying the planet ? In my opinion there are other methods of how to prevent people from damaging our planet without killing us.
Obviously, I have never worked with the robot, but in some specific fields, most definitely they will be very useful. Personally, I would try to work side by side with the robot, because they don't have such a trait like laziness and as I know robots don't quarrel over personal relationships.
I want to believe that AI in combination with robots will bring humanity only happiness and make life easier for us. But sometimes, to be completely honest, bad thoughts come in my mind about future of mankind and I want AI to be regulated.
I hope so, but there is a lot of work in front of us to achieve that.
Could you work side by side with the robot?
As a developer I working with a machines more than with live people, and if machine could assist me, tell a joke, or warn, it would be great.
What do you thing about AI and connected it with robot? It can be beginning of the end of mankind?
I think that there a lot of work should be made before robots become such inteligent, from my perspective it can take more than a century. But I think robots and people will live in harmony.
Not in near future i guess because TARS was a really advanced AI, but it's possible in my opinion.
Could you work side by side with the robot?
Maybe for some time... and of course not only an robot. I think that this kind of solution is better than beaing alone, but nothing can replace a human being.
What do you thing about AI and connected it with robot? It can be beginning of the end of mankind?
It's hard to say, but in my opionion at the begining it may be very usefull. Having an advanced AI can make many thing easier and solve problems. On the other hand we don't really know how will it develop.
AI connected to a robot is not more than a hamster in a closed out garden it has a lot of "space"but not much to go from there.
