I find it amazing that we have already built a drone that could fly and locate things. If we have a drone that could fly by itself, it would be perfect to spy on the enemies. Unfortunately, it would cost a lot of money to make and would also have a risk of the engines failing and it blowing up. How does it do this?
I agree with Jahan that it is cool we have already built a drone that can locate things. But just imagine drones that do not need human control. It would be good for military Jahan, but also for exploring. If we find a planet that has the same situation as Mars, which is that we think it has life, that would be great. The only problem with finding life on other planets is that its programmed to find human faces, and just regular objects. Aliens probably have a face, and that might screw it up. It would cost a lot of money. These people who are trying to create it have gotten $13 million to research and create. It would cost a lot of money to build several drones. But finally, I have to disagree with the idea of any of this. It is more reliable to have humans controlling a drone than to have it control itself. Like Jahan said, there is a huge risk of the photo thing working, but if the engine fails, bye bye $13 million.
I think that we have advanced to this level of technology is amazing. I love how just like humans it calculates how far an object is and what it is. But like others have said there are many risks. But I think eager scientists have gotten ahead of themselves. I mean they have already created a robot that can move by itself, calculate the distance between itself and an object, detect faces, and now they want it to fly on it's own! I think they should focus on the little bugs first then aim for flying. If they do this it would be great for spying, but if it fails all that time, money, and effort goes "bye, bye"
This was an amazing article. Not only am I amazed by the advanced technology, but also by knowing that they are teaching robots to make decisions based on the picture ahead of it. It would amaze me if they could pull this off by 2015. I thought that robots generally just had programming, and they went on the program and that was it. As much as all the decisions come down to programming, I am still blown away that they could program it to make its own decisions.
I don't know much about robots. It is amazing how fast technology develops more and more. I think that the people who understand and make robots must be very smart in order to understand all the fancy technology. I agree with Weston about how astounding it is that the robots could make their own decisions, even though it really depends on the programming. I would be very interested to learn more robots.
This article was fascinating. I think it is crazy that the scientists can create such a powerful processor, and that they can give the drones algorithms to do what the human brain can do. That's creepy, the thought that scientists can make something that can think like humans. If this whole self-controlled drone idea works well, in a few years scientists may be making robots that are even smarter than us. And that's REALLY creepy. I think that the idea of self-controlled drones are controversial in some ways: they can be very dangerous in the fact that they have a mind of their own and they can do some things that shouldn't be done, like spying or going into places they shouldn't be.
It is really amazing how far technology has gotten over the years. It is almost like we are living in Star Wars.
This article was really interesting and made you think about the amazing things humans have done and how we are accomplishing more every second. It also made me think about how lucky we are to be living in a time where this is possible. People 100 years ago could only dream of the amazing things that we take for granted now. I wonder what humankind will invent next.
Adding onto my comment... Also, the way scientists are able to just figure out ways to do this is mind-blowing. It takes a lot of thinking to be able to look at something amazing and go 'I wonder how I could make this better.' The fact that they follow through with it and get it done is amazing. They are able to compare technology to life. They use systems that nature created and try to replicate them to fix their inventions. To me, that is amazing. Before you know it, technology will become so advanced it will do stuff we can only imagine.
It fascinates me that we can enter millions of pictures into a robot soon, and it will process and file what it sees to help itself complete traveling missions. I also have to think how much money goes into this project. How could sensors work this well?
