Artificial Intelligence: Soon to be the world’s greatest intelligence, or just a wild dream? Edward Kollett Johnson & Wales University Honors Program 2009 Edward Kollett, Page 2 Artificial Intelligence is a term, coined by John McCarthy in 1956, that “in its broadest sense would indicate the ability of an artifact to perform the same kinds of functions that characterize human thought processes” (“Artificial Intelligence”). Typically, it is used today to refer to a computer program that is trying to simulate the human brain, or at least parts of it. Attempts to recreate the human brain have been a goal of mankind for centuries, but only recently, as computers have become as powerful as they are now, does the goal of a fully automated robot with human intelligence and emotional capabilities seems to be within reach. -
Humanoid Robots – from Fiction to Reality?
KI-Zeitschrift, 4/08, pp. 5-9, December 2008 Humanoid Robots { From Fiction to Reality? Sven Behnke Humanoid robots have been fascinating people ever since the invention of robots. They are the embodiment of artificial intelligence. While in science fiction, human-like robots act autonomously in complex human-populated environments, in reality, the capabilities of humanoid robots are quite limited. This article reviews the history of humanoid robots, discusses the state-of-the-art and speculates about future developments in the field. 1 Introduction 1495 Leonardo da Vinci designed and possibly built a mechan- ical device that looked like an armored knight.

Robonaut 2 Fact Sheet
National Aeronautics and Space Administration Robonaut 2 facts NASA Almost 200 people from 15 countries have visited the International Space Station, but the orbiting complex has only had human crew members – until now. Robonaut 2, the latest generation of the Robonaut astronaut helpers, launched to the space station aboard space shuttle Discovery on the STS-133 mission in February 2011. It is the fi rst humanoid robot in space, and although its primary job for now is demonstrating to engineers how dexterous robots behave in space, the hope is that, through upgrades and advancements, it could one day venture outside the station to help spacewalkers make repairs or additions to the station or perform scientifi c work. R2, as the robot is called, was unpacked in April and powered up for the first time in August. Though it is currently being tested inside the Destiny laboratory, over time both its territory and its applications could expand. Initial tasks identified for R2 include velocity air measurements and handrail cleaning, both of which are simple but necessary tasks that require a great deal of crew time. R2 also has a taskboard on which to practice flipping switches and pushing buttons. Over time, the robot should graduate to more complex tasks. There are no plans to return R2 to Earth. History Work on the first Robonaut began in 1997. The idea was to build a humanoid robot that could assist astronauts on tasks in which another pair of hands would be helpful or to venture forth to perform jobs either too dangerous for crew members to risk or too mundane for them to spend time on. -

Univ. Sebastian Lohmeier Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät für Maschinenwesen der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktor-Ingenieurs (Dr.-Ing.) genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzender: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Udo Lindemann Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Heinz Ulbrich 2. Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Horst Baier Die Dissertation wurde am 2. Juni 2010 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät für Maschinenwesen am 21. Oktober 2010 angenommen. Colophon The original source for this thesis was edited in GNU Emacs and aucTEX, typeset using pdfLATEX in an automated process using GNU make, and output as PDF. The document was compiled with the LATEX 2" class AMdiss (based on the KOMA-Script class scrreprt). AMdiss is part of the AMclasses bundle that was developed by the author for writing term papers, Diploma theses and dissertations at the Institute of Applied Mechanics, Technische Universität München. Photographs and CAD screenshots were processed and enhanced with THE GIMP. Most vector graphics were drawn with CorelDraw X3, exported as Encapsulated PostScript, and edited with psfrag to obtain high-quality labeling. Some smaller and text-heavy graphics (flowcharts, etc.), as well as diagrams were created using PSTricks. The plot raw data were preprocessed with Matlab. In order to use the PostScript- based LATEX packages with pdfLATEX, a toolchain based on pst-pdf and Ghostscript was used. -

It is part of the ESA initiated Me- teron telerobotics experiment suite aimed to study differ- ent forms of telerobotics solutions for space applications. Supvis-Justin studies the user interface design, and super- vised autonomy aspects of telerobotics, as well as tele- operated tasks for a humanoid robot by teleoperating a dexterous robot on earth (located at DLR) from the Inter- national Space Station (ISS) with the use of a tablet PC.
