Imagine teaching someone to ride a bike - how far can you get with explaining it to them? At some point, they just have to try it out themselves and feel the balance. No human would need to be told what to do when they drop something, but robots still need these details spelled out for them.Īnother challenge for robots is behaviors that are difficult to describe and program, such as tasks for which we use our senses and hard to put into words. For example, if an object slips out of a person's hand, they stop and pick it up, but the robot might not even notice that it dropped. Unless you program a robot very carefully, it will make mistakes that no human ever would. They have no "common sense", and blindly follow our instructions to the letter. One thing that is still very difficult for robots is adjusting to unforeseen situations and taking actions. But current robots only work well when we tell them exactly what to do. In fact, they are better at it than humans - they are stronger, faster and much more precise. Robots are very good at accurately repeating the same movements hundreds or even tens of thousands of times. When it comes to physical tasks, such as picking something up and moving it, the industrial robots I mentioned earlier already have that ability. Yuzuki: How much can robots do right now, with current technology?įelix: That's also a difficult question. In my perception, robots are machines that can move autonomously and interact with their environment. We could say that our washing machines and smartphones are robots. But today, the most common robots are industrial arms used in factories, with six joints that can reproduce movements.įrom a technical perspective, anything that moves automatically can be called a robot.
AI ROBOT TV
In movies and TV shows, robots talk to us, and are almost human. Hiromi Yuzuki (Yuzuki): This interview's theme is "Robots and AI." When I hear the word "robot," I imagine something out of science fiction, which has limbs and can communicate with us, but how are robots actually defined?įelix von Drigalski (Felix): The word "robot" can mean different things. *¹ A strategic base that creates OMRON's vision of "near-future design."ġst: AI Is Already Beside Us Ģnd: Robots and AI That Will Support Us in the Futureģrd: In the Near Future Where AI and Robots have Evolved, People Can Live More Human-Like Lives AI Learns to "Sense Like a Human" and Robots Evolve Further von Drigalski about the immediate challenges faced by robots and AI in a time when the world of science fiction seems to be both already upon us, and yet far away. In this article, we will explain AI through an interview with a key figure in the field of AI.įor this second installment, IT journalist Hiromi Yuzuki interviewed Felix von Drigalski, who studies combining robots with AI, at OMRON SINIC X Corporation.*¹ Ms. Although it has become commonplace, many of us may not know what AI actually is, or have a firm understanding of it. Nowadays, the word AI can be heard on a daily basis.
