s. It is just to give an idea of the functions of the computer.Now that we have a basic idea of how computers work, let us look into robotics. Robots are used for many tasks; some which are dangerous, some that people cannot accomplish easily, and some, which are just tedious, work. Still these tasks are important to a company to stay in business. Lets us look at an auto manufacturer for example. Let us say you needed to install seats into a car. You have an employee doing the tasks. The seats of a car are heavy. It would take a person much time to get the seat, bring them to the car, and place them in the appropriate place before they weld them to the body of the car. With a robotic arm, the tasks could be done in less than half the time it takes the individual to do it. Cutting down not only time but also the amount of money it took to build the car. With the cut down in time, more cars could be built in a day with the robot than with people alone. Now take into account the windshields, the different body part of the car such as doors, hoods, well you get the picture. You now get an idea of how important robots are to a car manufacturer. Car manufacturers, but also TV manufacturers, the Post Office, and the list go on.Once you get an idea of how robots are programmed, you will see how difficult it is to create Artificial Intelligence. First we must explore how robots are programmed. Earlier you got a brief explanation of how programming works. Of course programming a robot is much more complicated. More complicated than you could imagine, because machines are stupid. For example, if you wanted a robot to open a door. If you were talking to a person, you would say open the door please, and the person would open the door. A robot would not know what open the door meant. You would have to explain the process to the robot through its program. Something like this:Approach the door.Stop twelve inches from the door.Lift up your left hand and...
