How Robotics Got Started: A Brief History

With vast technological advancements over the last few decades, why don't we have robots running everything by now? Join Hank Green for a brief history of the field of robotics-it might help you understand how hard it is to get machines to perform tasks, and how far we’ve actually come!

    SciShow Infusion episodes are always so fascinating. I really enjoy when y'all make longer videos and go in depth into topics like this. Shorter videos like QQ are OK too, but I prefer these ones! I know they must be a lot of work, but I would really love to see longer videos like this more often, please. Thanks for all the great work you do!

    Like the dress video, this reinforced how truly awe-inspiring the human brain is. We do such complex tasks, things we can barely program super computers to do, and we do them effortlessly. All from our relatively tiny brains. That you can look across your room and instantly identify everything in it... it's incredible.

    joseph clisham in my understanding, Bots are a special kind of robot, way more complicated the the usual algorithms and usually left to act and decide on their own similar to how a Roomba is given the mission to clean your kitchen without you directing it as you would do with, say, the usual software program. But ultimately, you're right, Bots are not "robots", per se. Gareth Field let's tone the language down. Joseph's comment was appropriate.

    I don't really get why people think that AI will enslave humanity and put us to work in mines... Humans are frail, inefficient, and whiny creatures. There is no way any kind of AI would consider using us to do any kind of manual labour task, because it would be far easier to just build more robots to do the job themselves, and do it far better than we ever could.

I mean to be fair emotion are slowing anything down and humans strive for more knowledge and better efficiency, however to get this knowledge and efficiency we have to let emotions and morals go. And if we look at how evolution works it actually isnt even too farfetched... but hey thats just my opinion

Knowledge also makes me happy...but all this that we thrive for we do because we feel the desires urges and the emotions that push us.But i get your point,i agree in many aspects i find if funny but at times also frustrating how people get so caught up in feelings and can be very overemotional that clouds their judgement.

    Why would machines use humans to mine tungsten? They're weak, slow, inefficient, whiny, extremely high-maintenance with needs such as food, sleep, entertainment, clothes, shelter, ect, and we're prone to violence and rebellion. Machines, when they take control, will make more machines to do the work such as mining tungsten (machines are strong, fast, efficient, uncomplaining, low-maintenance and, provided the work robots are not sentient, unlikely to rebel), and either keep humans sort of as 'pets' (like in the Culture - the machines would probably find humans interesting and amusing) or exterminate them.

    As a robot developer, I can confirm - robots do not have self awareness. They don't have consciousness, they don't have opinions, and they don't have motives or ambitions. Most animals don't have self-awareness, and there are things animals can do that are far more complex and reliable than a robot sharing a similar body structure. As for people paranoid about robots enslaving us - it'll likely never happen, whether they're self aware or not. It would be theoretically possible they could be hostile if you happen to threaten them (assuming they understood the threat) but what a lot of people tend to forget is many fights over humans was because of power, expansion (or reproduction), or beliefs. These are things a robot would have no reason to care about, because nobody would program it to have primal human decisions.

    When Hank mentions the ISS, a picture of the shuttle docking to MIR is shown. Not irrelevant to the conversation, thought, as MIR did have a robotic arm for moving the modules around, and of course the Shuttle had an arm.

As long as our innate fears can be mined we will continue providing 'tungsten' for our 'overlords'.

I am old, I am not a robot (at least that's what I tell those obnoxious little puzzles .) I, for one, hope that the melding of my brain to a perfect new body (singularity) happens before Ai can wipe us out. Ai unlike cars, airplanes, and nuclear weapons must have controls and safety features implemented before their design or creation. Ai is the only technology that has the potential to knowingly and willingly obliterate humanity. All it takes is one Ai that doesn't have the built in limiters to wipe out our tenuous domination of planet earth.

    Robots won't force us to work in the tungsten mines - but the rich will. Society has permitted the rich to steal every penny of increased productivity that computers have enabled, and there is no sign that they're going to demand companies pay workers who work alongside robots markedly more. They will most likely eliminate jobs with robotics, and continue to cut the wages of the humans that remain (this is what they have done with computers). No one will get the benefit of robotics except for the tiny group of the ultra-rich who will be protected from workers buying their own robots and competing with the companies by the government. The old school idea that robots and computers would make it so nobody had to work, or only had to work a few hours a week, forgot to factor in the sociopathic rich and society being willing to just say 'you arent actually more productive, the machines are doing all the work' and being OK with increasingly lower wages and longer hours.

    Beyond just making a robot able to do something, a big limitation to robots is getting them to KEEP doing what they were designed to. They need power, which means either being hooked up to a power supply (and thus reducing their range), or relying on batteries, which can only last so long.

    One very real and unmentioned component of military robotics research is sniper/assassin robots. This is where things get creepy. Someone in a round table discussion I heard suggested making these robots as lifelike as possible and making them look like children or cute little animals so that the enemy will second guess his impulse to shoot the robot and delay long enough for the robot to blow the enemy away.

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law

    Robots don't need to have sensors to be called robots. There are robots that rely only on loops of commands. For example a robot that cuts and pack chocolate bars. The robotic arm cuts the chocolate and moves it to packing section, but even though it doesn't have the chocolate it will still do the exact same motion, they call this "dry run".
