Robotics

Robotics will greatly impact the future of the human race. With advances in technology everyday, robotics will be taking huge steps forward. Robotics will soon be effecting how we our health, how every day tasks will be treated, but will the advancement in robotics some day cause our downfall.

With advancements in programming and nano-circuitry, are already effecting our health. With robotic surgeons, robotic prosthetics and robotic organs, and now even robotic medicine casuals, the field of medicine has been mechanized.

Normally a surgery would require hours of time, large incisions, months of recovery and have the risk of human. But there is a new surgeon taking the world by storm. Robotic surgeries have become more and more prevalent in the last decade. There are 2 general types of surgery woundless surgery and minimal invasive surgery.

Woundless surgery isn’t really woundless, but it does require much smaller incisions. Depending on the system used there can be between two or three incisions (Michael 103-111). One is for a remote control camera. The others for controllable medical tools, usually small hand or claw like tool and small scissors. In this type of surgery the camera and tools can be controlled either by human hands or robotically. Robotic controls are preferred because the human controls can prove difficult for human hands and takes endless practice. With the robotic controls the doctor can sit at a monitor and control with a few buttons and a joystick. In both cases the doctor sees what the tools are doing from a monitor that is fed images from the camera. Woundless surgery is preferable to conventional surgery in a few ways. Because woundless surgery requires smaller incisions, it also requires less heal time....

But if AI every really does become a reality will it help or harm humanity. It can’t be ignored humans are imperfect will Intelligence that can access all the information on the internet at will accept our imperfection. Many theorists and authors don’t think so. In past history the strong overpower the weak and the weak fall out of existence. If a superior “intelligence” comes to be it will most likely take dominance over the human race(Wilson). Possibly using our existing technology against us.

The future is unpredictable. But we know because of how technology is advancing robotics will definitely have an effect on it. We see that already in our health and in our daily lives, but will the effects all be good or will our downfall come from these advancements in robots.
