WEEK 3: ROBOTICS AND ART

 This week we learned about Robotics and Art but in order to talk about those thing we had to include industrialization and mechanization. The part that interested me the most was the robotics and art portion because growing up there were alot movies like I,Robot, Terminator, and Avengers that show the future of robotics being embedded with artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence then gets to a point where it believes humans are the problem with this world and plan on destroying the human race to rid this world of its biggest problem. In the movie Avengers , Ultron believes that's his sole purpose when he says " I was designed to save the world"

As professor Machiko Kusahara explained most robots are precieved as evil and bad for humans. The belief is because we have fostered this idea of evil with in robots before we have even been able to see them in reality. As that notion of human Robotics becomes more and more realistic, we can now see that they can actually do wonders for humanity. Like Rodney Brooks explains in his TED talk how robots are already a very important role in our society. That is why the look of the robot has to be more human like to keep it from looking scary and more like it is there to help. As current day robotics work to further expanded the reality of robots we can see form the picture below that they are doing a great job implementing the human factor on to robots.

As far an artificial intelligence, the newest thing that has surprised the world and has the people in disbelief is the introduction of chatgpt open AI. The program has broke record from the day it first launched, reaching one million users in only 5 days and currently having over a billion monthly users.

MARTA DE MENEZES; Lunchtime Talk

Image
     Marta de Menezes was born in 1975, she is a Portuguese artist, with a Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Lisbon and a Masters from the University of Oxford. She is director of Cultivamos Cultura, the leading institution dedicated to experimental art in Portugal. She also created Ectopia, Femeeting, and a couple other organizations. All the organizations are dedicated to facilitate the collaborative work between artists and scientists. I was very impressed how many organizations Marta was able to create and still currently manage, all in order to help out artists and sciences express their work. I never thought there could be such a close connection between science and art as some of the pieces that Marta showed us. Once of the pieces that intrigued me the most was ecosystem in a glass jar in the first picture below in upper right corner. The fact that the ecosystem can grow a mushroom year in and year out is pretty extraordinary. One of the biggest take aways...

WEEK 8 : NANOTECH + ART

Image
  Nanotechnology is “use of matter on atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scales for industrial purposes.” Something that most people have only herd of or seen on sifi movies where they can actually be seen because there is so many of them. However we see nanotechnology on a daily biases even though we have no idea that it is there. There are many different industries that use nanotechnologies in their products in order to make them better. Some of these industries include the food, agricultural, automotive, and medical industries. Food industries use them to give products more nutrients or flavors than they would without them. The agricultural industries use them to make fruits and vegetables last longer so they can stay on shelfs at store without going bad before the consumer can buy them take them home and eat them. The medical industries has been able to use them to target specific cells or tissue in the body while avoiding the healthy cells. This has been one of the biggest ...
