Arguments against my position: Argument #1: Security would be much
better
- With the
neuromorphic chip technology, robots would essentially be mimicking
the human brain. Robotic drones with this chip in them would be much
better at surveillance, and recognizing new elements throughout
communities and environments (Nayef
Al-Rodhan, 2009).
- Robots roam the streets on
San Francisco developed from "Knightscope" which is a security
robotic system company. Their robots use lidar and other sensor
systems to detect homeless people outside of their office, the
robots then let security personnel know of their position (Mike
Murphy, 2017)
Argument #2: Robots will have the ability to
assist in the medical field and make discoveries that will help
evolve modern medicine and technology within the medical field.
- Inertial
measurement units or IMU's are being used to track human motion.
Advancements are being made with IMU's and they are beginning to be
used for rehabilitation purposes for
humans (Alessandro Filippeschi, 2017).
- "With pinpoint precision, remarkable
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and advanced algorithms, the
presence of a robot will make your operation safer, faster and
more hygienic" (Jeremy Russell, 2017). Robots will bring down the
cost of healthcare tremendously and eliminate human error within
operations.
