The Nao robot is a of what everyone can expect in
the near the future. When the Nao was compared to the Asimo and the HPR-4 it
out shun them both. The Nao proved to be more advanced in many ways. The Nao
showed more details and ease in the way it moved. The Nao could walk, run,
jump, stand on one foot and jump on one foot while maintaining its balance. The
Nao has the ability to shake hands and greet the person while doing so. The Nao
robot is also able to play sports, hold objects, push objects, poor liquids
into a cup, and draw. Artificial intelligence in robotics seems to advance with
science and technology. The other robots couldn’t do half of the things the Nao
has done and is doing. Altough the Asimo came the closest.
The Asimo moves with ease and grace, sort of human
like. It can climb steers, and kick balls. The Asimo has the ability to run and
from just seeing it people begin to feel some sort of emotional attachment to
it. The Asimo is definetly a remarkable robot. Combined these two robot could
make one superior robot.

The Nao robot is the at its peak, the beginning of
artificial intelligence; however it is not at its maximum level of artificial
intelligence. Reasearchers have came along way in the studies of robotics. This
is the reason for the level of artificial intelligence we have today. The Nao
robot is the birth of Artificial intelligence because of its human like
capabilities. Still there is more to come.
At this time The Nao robot does think just like
humans because we are taught through experience and teaching. This
learning pattern we practice is what
shapes us as we grow into adult hood. Then we learn how to deal with, answer,
act, and think about various situations because we are programmed. Just like
the Nao robot is programed we are too. The Nao is programmed to respond to
situations based on the information it contains. This act is very similar to
what humans do. The Nao even shows some emotional like behaviors. When the Nao
was told to be quiet its eyes went from blue to red. To me that was a
demonstration of unhappiness or even anger.
If Robots have capabilities of humans it will relieve us
humans of a lot of everyday strain. Of course a lot of people will lose jobs;
however just knowing your elderly, sickly family member, or child is home being
well cared for by a Nao or something like it will put you at ease. With less
stress people are able to function better and handle a lot more tasks. This is
why I think it is very important for a robot to have artificial intelligence
because we can take life and research to another level.
The Nao videos are more appealing to some and fit groups of
all ages. I personaly prefer to see the action the read about specifics. That
is just what the technical description gives you a detailed technical
description. The technical description has software and hardware information
that the video doesn’t provide. In the video we see the Nao doing wonderful
things with objects; however the tech description shows us how this is
possible. Vision is one of the most important capabilities in human-robot
interaction. A strong vision capability will allow the robot to see and orient
towards objects, to walk to them, grasp them and bring them to the user” (
Stephen, L 2009). Everyone would love to see what’s new or what’s in. However
consumers or the general public won’t spend five minutes to read every
technical description that is published. If you take the same ideas and show
every one exactly what that technical description is describing and how it
works on YouTube, you are guaranteed to reach more viewers. People are more
interested in seeing an actual example then a description and this is just how
the world works.
