Human v/s Robots




Planning

This is where humans really trump computers. Humans can map out a series of sequences to lead us to a goal. Involving millions of neurons interacting in yet fully understood ways, computers lack this ability for now.

Logic

Computers are extremely linear when it comes to thinking. Because of this – as well as their lack of emotional responses – they can work logically through commands to reach the best possible solution. 




Maths

There’s no denying it, computers are geniuses when it comes to doing sums. Just ask your calculator. Again, because base mathematics is the input of data and the extraction of a single solution, a simple programme can work through calculations extremely quickly.

Speed 

Computers are able to operate at much faster speeds because they are stripped-down basic brains. Just think, even though a Land Rover may have more horsepower than a Ferrari, the latter is faster because it has less weight to hold it back. Similarly, when put to a task, a computer is able to work through a problem quicker, despite a human brain having more processing power.

Speech recognition

Computers are catching up, but humans still have the edge. Most humans can hear a sentence and extract meaning from it, based on experience and the situation. Few robots are able to do this, though natural language processing, like the iPhone’s Siri technology, is constantly improving

Adapting

Most computers are programmed in a certain way and are only able to react to what they have been taught. Humans have the ability to think creatively about a subject, due to our evolved neocortex, and come up with radical, outside-the-box solutions. Until roboticists are able to replicate the neural connections, we will stay ahead of robots when reacting to novel situations.

Future Artificial Intelligence Applications 

self driven car

Self-driving cars

As yet only allowed to be driven in California
and currently undergoing testing, this Google
driver-less car is an exciting pioneer that could
herald a new era of transport, using advanced
diagnostic tools to look out for hazards.

Robot medics

Machines could keep a watchful eye and run
analysis on vulnerable patients faster and with
Robot medics
greater accuracy. A trial is currently running at
the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in
New York, advising on lung cancer treatment.

Space vehicles

Work is progressing on space vehicles with
‘human-like brains’ that can plot their own route
on treacherous planets like Mars by constantly
analysing the terrain and making creative
decisions, running off GPUs rather than CPUs

Vehicle Parking Management System in C++

this project is developed by Awais Azam Features Graphically display the parking locations(symbolically) Keep record of the arrival and departure of the vehicles with date-time specified  Resume the data from the storage  Can check history (arrival + departure) Automatically choose the parking location Alarm if any vehicle violate the parking order Description  This project is coded in C++ using codeblocks  compiler, it has almost 500 lines of code. easy for the beginners in the C++ language , almost each line is commented and explaining its purpose. As per the working of this app , for the first run it create some text files to keep the record of the vehicles ,  First screen show the menu from which user has to select an option as per his/her need   As the screen shows , above is the screen shot of the application, it is not a small project as it looks like it almost cover all the major topics of C++ (not OOP) you can als...

Explaination Of Electron Gun

Thomson discovered the electron using this concept in 1897 after conducting experiments with cathode rays and studying their uses. Electron guns are a very versatile electrical component. They are essential to a number of devices, from 3D printers and welders to the large synchrotron at the Diamond Light Source in the UK and the electric systems of Kimball Physics in the US So how they work It’s all down to kinetic energy and electrical currents. When installed in an electrical device’s vacuum tube, the gun turns electrons and ions into usable beams of energy by releasing them from their  metal source (cathode). This process is known as thermionic emission. Inside the gun there is a small filament that heats the cathode, which makes it release a stream of electrons. The electrons accelerate rapidly and the resulting beam is pulled toward the neighbouring anode, which is positively charged. There are small holes in the anode which allow some electrons to pass through, so a...

Sonic Weapons

To disperse crowds and prevent rioting, various forms of non-lethal weapons (NLW) are used. Among these, interestingly, is sound. Known as an acoustic or sonic weapon, infrasound (superlow frequency) and ultrasound (super-high frequency) greatly affect human ears. They can disorientate a target and have psychological effects as well as physical effects of nausea and damage to blood vessels. Explanation Ultrasound can be increased to 120 decibels (the same volume as a jumbo jet taking off), which is considered the human pain threshold. In contrast, infrasound feels like a damaging vibration or pressure wave, as it’s at a frequency too low for humans to hear. When exposed to high levels of sound, the influx of energy has a painful effect on the body. As well as huge decibels of volume, the variations in frequency can also cause damage. For instance, an infrasound of seven or eight Hertz can rupture blood vessels. Certain types of sound within the frequencies we are able to he...
