Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

 Can robots do what humans can? In my opinion, robots can do many things even we cannot imagine but they cannot do all what humans can. Because I believe that there is nothing more interesting and more complex than human brain in the world. As they mentioned in the article "Shut Your Eyes and Drive", robots will be peoople's main squeeze and they will be a huge part of human's lives. For instance , a car without driver would make most people's lives easier and more reasonable to save their times."The Company claims it has driven some 480,000 kilometers under computer control in a wide of variety of traffic conditions, all without an accident". Also they taked about the safety of driverless cars in the article "Driverless Cars Get Calfornia License". "According to the statistics, each year about 1.2 million people died of traffic accidents worldwide, most of which are often caused by driver fatigue and the inability to concentrate. The driverless car can effectively avoid the driver-caused accident due to fatigue and other abnormal behaviours". As I said it before, these kind of robotic cars will get people's lives easier and valuable.
  Who is more likely to make errors - robots or humans? To compare which one is more likely to make mistakes is not that easy since it depends on different criterias. Robots are machines which mean they run based on a mechanical system and they are not affacted by the same factors as humans, like emotions. So it seems they are more reliable,can give more certain results.On the other hand, if even a little something is wrong with these machines, that can be cause huge problems such as missing a code line of a program which is related with the budget of a company.

2. What are virtual worlds?  How can they be used? What would you like to be in your virtual world?

 Virsual World is one of the awesome way how companies/people can save their money. As they mentioned in the article "Going to the Virsual Office in the Second Life" virsual world-like skype-doesn't require to spend so much money to make a conference or meeting. " As travel budgets are squeezed and slashed in the recession, companies are increasingly seeking innovative ways of bringing employees together for conferences and meetings remotely"
