Re: Robots becoming useful...

Maybe Cyborgs will be more 'useful'?

‘No place in court for robot lawyers’, says Australia Law Council

The president of the Law Council of Australia has condemned the use of AI-operated lawyers in the courtroom, saying the “sound judgment” of human beings could not be easily replaced by technology, despite moves in the US to allow the world’s first automated defence lawyer to front a court.


The robot is an artificially intelligent machine, while a a mix of both human and robotics is the cyborg is an organic being with technological modifications.

Re: Robots becoming useful...

The other days I was think about robots scanning a new tunnel or lava tube and looking at some kind of crawling or flying robot that would drop a reflective package and then use a laser scan to amp out the inside of caves before humans arrive for off world exploration a cave would be completely mapped.

It seems a lot of work has already been done in this area.

Here is a forum where they discuss scanners

Paving the way for long-term missions on the moon: European team of autonomous robots explores lava cave in Lanzarote
https://www.wevolver.com/article/paving … -lanzarote

As potential locations for future base camps, the lava caves on the moon are of great interest. But how can they be reached and explored? This has been investigated by a European consortium coordinated by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in the project CoRob-X

Robotic dog will be on patrol in Pompeii
https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/04 … f-pompeii/

Spot won’t patrol the ruined city alone. Its partner on this mission is a drone equipped with a laser scanner, which will fly its patrols above the site, scanning the ground beneath with lasers to map the ruins and the surrounding terrain.

Exploring Mars caves, leaving ‘breadcrumbs’
https://earthsky.org/space/exploring-ma … nd-gretel/

Future astronauts on Mars might use caves or lava tubes as habitats. They could provide shelter from the harsh conditions on the surface, the intense radiation in particular. On March 1, 2023, researchers at the University of Arizona said they’ve developed a new technology where small autonomous robot rovers could start exploring caves on Mars. The rovers – inspired by the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel – would drop high-tech “breadcrumbs” to find their way.

In this case, the “breadcrumbs” would be miniature sensors, which the robots would deploy within the caves in order to monitor their environment and remain in contact with each other. In this way, they could scout for suitable underground places for future astronauts to live and work.

Query: "Utube, Tesla Bot Expert Shows PROOF Bots Already Making Cars (and 500 by End of Year) | Scott Walter"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxVNVc7zpus

That's a good video, but I finally found the one I had looked at by another machine.  This one is longer: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Ma … &FORM=VIRE

Really some good stuff.  A change is coming, I expect.

Done.

Another video: Quote:

Is Optimus Building Tesla MODEL S and X NOW?! Changing the Factory Landscape with Scott Walter

Watching.............

If Tesla Bot is a good dancer, it could charge itself through the floor, 12 to 48 Volts DC.  You can have perhaps the use of a SCR to block the power if a short circuit occurs if the foot steps in the wrong spot???

Still watching.........

Maybe something like this Crowbar circuit: https://www.semiconductorforu.com/scr-t … gate%20pin.
Quote:

As a result, it is known as the crowbar circuit.
The voltage over which the circuit should short is determined by the Zener voltage. The circuit consists of an SCR that is directly connected across the circuit’s input voltage and ground, but this SCR is kept turned off by grounding the SCR’s gate pin.

So, low voltage is relatively safe, and the robot may at times have a foot on (-) and the other on (+), and so charge while working.  The Crowbar circuits or something like it would limit the continuation of a short circuit, if Optimus is not good enough to dance with Ginger Rogers.

Tough luck bad dancers, Optimus is going to get your babe.

Done.
