Topic #6 WHen Humanity and Technology Cross Flashcards
The term ________________is attributed mainly to the changes brought about by technology
generation gap
Due to technology, lesser women and children die during
birth, assuring robust population and strong workforce.
Medical care for premature infants allows them to survive
and develop normally, while proper maternal care ensures
that mothers can fully recover and remain empowered
Mortality Rate
Aside from the reason that people engage less in combat and are less likely
to die in treatable diseases now as opposed to then, science is able to
prolong lives by enhancing living status and discovering different remedies
to most diseases. Distribution of medicines is also made easier and faster.
Average Lifespan
Access to education provided to more individuals
generally creates a more informed public that could
determine a more just society
Literacy Rate
Although not an indicator of an average person’s lifestyle in a
certain country, it is often used to determine the value of the
country’s goods and services produced within the territory given a
certain time period. Higher country income is brought upon by
high productivity, often an indicator of presence of technology.
Gross Domestic Product
is an actuated mechanism programmable in two or more
axes with a degree of autonomy, moving within its environment, to
perform intended tasks.
Robot
the ability to perform intended tasks based on current state and sensing without human intervention.
Autonomy
A ___________________– is a robot that performs useful tasks
for humans or equipment excluding industrial
automation application.
service robot
A personal service robot is a service robot used for a noncommercial task, usually by laypersons.
Personal Service Robot
A ____________________________ use is a service robot used for a commercial task, usually operated by a properly trained operator.
professional service robot
In the field of robotics, there are the so-called _______________________ and ____________________
partial autonomy
full autonomy.
____________________ includes active human-robot
interaction
Partial autonomy
_______________________ excludes active human-robot
interaction. In other words, a robot with full
autonomy can perform actions or activities
even without a master telling it what should be
done or what should be performed next
Full autonomy
______________________________ refers to systems
or machines that mimic human intelligence to perform
tasks and can iteratively improve themselves based on
the information they collect.
artificial intelligence
______________________ involves the creation of robots to perform tasks without further intervention, while ___________ is how systems emulate the human mind to make decisions and ‘learn.’
Robotics,
AI
