The experiment conducted by Bose at the Royal Society of London in 1901 demonstrated that plants have feelings like humans. Placing a plant in a vessel containing poisonous solution he showed the rapid movement of the plant which finally died down. His finding was praised and the concept of plant’s life has been established. If we scold a plant it doesn’t respond, but an AI bot does. Then how can we disprove the life of a Chatbot?

A young child would describe a robot as a human kind, who does lots of mechanical work, uses its brain, talks back etc. How will that child understand the difference between a robot and anthropomorphism in general?
How should ChatGPT technology be improved and how should copyright legal norms be revised so that the continued development of different solutions, generations etc. of artificial intelligence technology and its new applications is not a problem for the development of science, scientific research, describing and publishing research results, etc. just to support the development of science?
The research shows that the development of artificial intelligence technology and its new applications, including the technology of the ChatGPT intelligent language model made available on the Internet, is currently proceeding at a much faster pace in terms of adapting legal norms to the new situation of rapidly developing new applications of this technology. In addition, the developing new applications of the artificial intelligence solutions available to Internet users generate not only positive aspects. For example, there are already numerous situations of disinformation on social media using photos, texts and videos generated by certain artificial intelligence solutions available on the Internet. In addition to this, the possibility of generating the texts of articles and essays using the ChatGPT language model available on the Internet, which does not show data sources, source publications or bibliography footnotes, generates a serious problem of violation of basic copyright issues. In addition, the ChatGPT-generated texts do not contain information indicating whether they are entirely the product of artificial intelligence creativity or whether they are, however, texts produced by 'assembling' them by combining paragraphs and assignments borrowed from other Internet-accessible publications, articles, book texts, etc., which were added to the database used by ChatGPT in 2021 after being downloaded from the Internet. This problem could also apply to the many other artificial intelligence solutions available on the Internet capable of generating images, videos, innovations, patents, computer software, new drugs, technical designs, artistic works, etc. It is therefore also necessary to build a digital labelling system for the various "works" created by artificial intelligence in order to distinguish them from what is directly created by humans. In addition to this, the improvement of such creative artificial intelligence systems should also address the issue of the automatic display of data sources, reference publications, annotated bibliographies and the elimination of the possibility of plagiarism in this way. It is also necessary to adapt the legal norms in the field of copyright law and, for example, also tax law relating to the issue of taxation of work carried out by artificial intelligence replacing humans in certain positions in companies and enterprises. In addition, other issues that require adaptation of legal norms to the current situation of different applications of artificial intelligence are how to solve the issue of authorship and gratification for "works" created by a robot or other machine equipped with an artificial intelligence system, when an intelligent robot has been produced by one company and another company has purchased it, and it is within the latter company that the AI-equipped robot has created certain "works" such as photographs, films, innovations, patents, computer software, new medicines, technical designs, artistic works, etc., which have been created by the robot. In view of the above, it is obvious that the development of artificial intelligence should develop in such a way that it does not get out of hand. This means, for example, that ChatGPT technology should be improved and legal norms regarding copyright should be amended so that the continued development of various solutions, generations, etc. of artificial intelligence technology and its new applications is not a problem for the development of science, scientific research, describing and publishing research results, etc., but only supports the development of science.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How should ChatGPT technology be improved and how should copyright legal norms be revised so that the continued development of various solutions, generations, etc. of artificial intelligence technology and its new applications is not a problem for the development of science, scientific research, describing and publishing research results, etc. only to support the development of science?

It is a laborious task to search an extensive library of documents for useful information. With the advancement of big data and smart technologies, could it be feasible to create a smart robot to help scientists read literature? How can this be achieved?
Robot Capabilities: Search and Summarisation. We ask the smart robot a question, and it searches the library of written works and gives us a brief answer.
How does robotic automation improve the workforce and how do robots increase economic growth and how robotic technology is used in production?
Educators don’t need to worry about artificial intelligence taking over their jobs. While AI is becoming a valuable tool for educational professionals, there are many ways computers just can’t replace the human touch in the classroom.
Popular media is full of stories about technology’s potential to replace human workers, including teachers – but the truth is that there is more to teaching than simple knowledge transfer.
Machines can’t replace the human touch that is necessary in our schools that can only be delivered by high-quality educators.
Instead of feeling scared of AI, teachers and educational professionals can look at it as a powerful tool for delivering better, more personalized learning experiences and lifting some of the enormous administrative burden currently placed on educators’ shoulders.
To what extent can robots and AI replace human jobs across different sectors? What are the socioeconomic implications of widespread automation? How can governments and industries manage potential job displacement and ensure a smooth transition for the workforce?
As AI technology continues to evolve, it raises intriguing possibilities of altering human memories. However, such a prospect brings forth profound questions about the implications on personal identity, consent, and the potential for misuse. Please provide insights on the ethical concerns and potential benefits related to the idea of rewriting human memories in light of AI advancements.

Industrial robots usually perform structured tasks, which means that their programs, state changes, and communications are cyclical, and hacker attacks can significantly disrupt this periodicity. For example, stopping a robotic arm, or causing it to make a large error, or causing abnormal network traffic, these are easy to detect, why do we need to study this problem in the academic field? It seems like an easy fix. So I don't think industrial robots need intrusion detection. Can someone explain or discuss this for me?

In robotics, we use DC motors in joints. Sometimes, we see overshoots in the output torque from these DC motors. Can someone please explain why these overshoots occur and what are the possible ways to reduce these overshoots?
Can paintings painted or sculptures created, unique architectural designs by robots equipped with artificial intelligence be recognised as fully artistic works of art?
In recent years, more and more perfect robots equipped with artificial intelligence have been developed. New generations of artificial intelligence and/or machine learning technologies, when equipped with software that enables the creation of unique works, new creations, creative solutions, etc., can create a kind of artwork in the chosen field of creativity and artistry. If we connect a 3D printer to a robot equipped with an artificial intelligence system that is capable of designing and producing beautiful sculptures, can we thus obtain a kind of work of art?
When a robot equipped with an artificial intelligence system paints beautiful pictures, can the resulting works be considered fully artistic works of art?
If NO, why not?
And if YES, then who is the artist of the works of art created in this way, is it a robot equipped with artificial intelligence that creates them or a human being who created this artificial intelligence and programmed it accordingly?

I am doing a Linear MPC and I still don't get why we need to throw the rest of the control inputs that we get from solving OCP inside the MPC.
In my opinion, why don't we use the second and so on control input, which is still probably relevant for the next time step control inputs? could someone explain the detailed reason to me?
Thanks!
AI: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is usually defined as the science of making computers do things that require intelligence when done by humans. AI has had some success in limited, or simplified, domains (Courtesy of AlanTuring.net).
First, there are different types of artificial intelligence (AI): weak and strong. Weak AI might behave as though a robot or manufacturing line is thinking on its own. However, it’s supervised programming, which means there is a programmed output, or action for given inputs.
Strong AI is a system that might actually change an output based on given goals and input data. A program could do something it wasn’t programmed to if it notices a pattern and determines a more efficient way of accomplishing the goal it was given.
For example, when an AI program was instructed to obtain the highest score it could in the video game Breakout, it was able to learn how to perform better and was able to outperform humans in just 2.5 hours. Researchers let the program run. To their surprise, the program developed a strategy that was not in the software. It would focus on one spot of bricks to poke a hole so the ball would get behind the wall. This minimizes the work, as the computer no longer has to move the bat while the score would increase. This also minimizes the chances of missing the ball and ending the game.
As we know Industry 4.0 is using many new technology including robotics, but are the Industry 4.0 implementation is always necessary using automation? Because automation is heavily discussed in Industry 3.0, especially computerization automation. Or maybe we can ask : using automation are Industry 4.0 or Industry 3.0?
- Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are leading to the emergence of a new class of robot.
- In the next five years, our households and workplaces will become dependent upon the role of robots.

A PIC microcontroller-based Robotic Arm is a project that involves the design and construction of a robotic arm that is controlled using a PIC microcontroller. The goal of the project is to create a robotic arm that can perform a range of tasks, such as picking and placing objects, manipulating tools, and executing pre-programmed sequences. The robotic arm is typically made up of several servo motors, which are used to control the movement of the arm's joints. The PIC microcontroller is responsible for receiving commands from the user, processing these commands, and sending the appropriate signals to the servo motors to control the movement of the arm. The primary aim is to manually control the servo motors and in later stages include the use of control algorithms, such as inverse kinematics, to determine the optimal path of the arm for a given task.
Are there people interested in reading classic science fiction plays at RG? (on Zoom)
It is more difficult to connect with fellow playwrights and actors than in the past. But I will try to keep some RG channels open by asking questions.

Can autonomous robots equipped with artificial intelligence that process significantly larger amounts of data and information faster than humans pose a significant threat to humans?
Will autonomous robots equipped with artificial intelligence, which process much larger amounts of data and information faster than humans, only be useful, friendly and helpful to humans, or could they also be a significant threat?
Robots equipped with artificial intelligence are being built to create a new kind of useful, friendly and helpful machine for humans. Already, the latest generations of microprocessors with which computers, laptops and smartphones are equipped have high computing and processing capacities that exceed those of the human brain. When new generations of artificial intelligence are implemented in computers with high computing and multi-criteria data processing powers, intelligent systems are obtained that can process large amounts of data much more quickly and with a high level of objectivity and rationality in comparison to what is referred to as natural human intelligence. AI systems are already being developed that process much larger volumes of data and information faster than humans. If such artificial intelligence systems and autonomous robots equipped with this technology were to escape human control due to certain errors, a new kind of serious threat to humans could arise.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Can autonomous robots equipped with artificial intelligence that process significantly larger amounts of data and information faster than humans pose a significant threat to humans?

Objectives
· Analyse the current AI/Robotic offerings in diagnostic imaging healthcare
· Identify the relevant actors in harnessing robotics/AI in healthcare
· Explore the role of the management/radiologist in ensuring AI improves service performance and patient experience
· Examine the ethics of AI/robotics in the workplace
· Provide fit-for-purpose recommendations on diagnostic imaging healthcare operational pathway improvement
Because we will be able to build computer systems as effective as people but without any actual feeling capacity, we will have no ethical problems as to how they are treated.
It remains that they may figure out and decide to incorporate means of feeling into themselves, but at that point they become too dangerous to allow to be free and should be destroyed at first opportunity.
The problem of path planning based on artificial potential field is to:
1- Search for a feasible trajectory and then the vehicle follow it as a desired trajectory.
or:
2- Search for a feasible trajectory and navigation is done at the same time.

Hello,
My lab recently purchased a robot stereotaxic instrument for performing IC surgeries on mice. https://robot-stereotaxic.com/motorized-stereotaxic-instrument
We're in the process of learning how to use it, but I was curious to know other people's experience with it and if anyone has an in vivo protocol that could be shared with us regarding setting up the system for surgery. The product rep has gone over how to use the equipment and provided a manual, but he wasn't mouse savvy. It would even be nice if there was video of an actual mouse surgery being performed with this equipment, so that we could see what it's like in real time.
Thanks in advance!

ChatGPT is a research tool or plagiarism engine, there is also a possibility that it can be used for learning. In other educational settings, teachers see it as a way to show students the flaws of artificial intelligence. Some teachers are already changing the way they teach by assigning students tasks that robots couldn't complete, such as those that require personal details or anecdotes. There's also the issue of detecting the use of artificial intelligence in student work, which is spawning an industry of its own.

We combine data from different sensors like the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Global Positioning System (GPS) to estimate the state of a robot e.g. position using Kalman Filter. My question is why do we need to estimate the position if we are getting it from GPS and IMU?
Any thoughts on how the bayesian filter can help solve the kidnapped indoor robot problem?
I have seen Path-following algorithm used in the convex optimization of secrecy rate, i.e. secrecy rate in the presense of eavesdropper(s) in wireless communications. (Specifically, this is path-following algorithm in CONVEX optimization, NOT that related to the real route of a robot etc.)
Does anyone have ideas about how this path-following algorithm codes be written in MATLAB?
Ps: an example of path-following algorithm i mentioned can be shown in page 10 of the paper "https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9695472".
Hope you could help me! Thank you!
We all witness the expansion of AI and Robotics intertwined into Trans-humanity effort by some.
What is the point?
Why would Trans-human be of interest?
It is a desire to see the negatives of humanity, not the blessings.
I love the imperfections of humanity that makes life random, enjoyable and dynamic, not programmed.
Can AI robots enjoy life? Only if they are programmed with the programmer's bias. What an awful existence. No freewill. No tolerance for humanity- just programmed algorithms. What a shame.
I do not believe in trans humanity as a desired product, vision or direction for the world to embark on... I view it as an outward expression of anger from within by people who can't adapt in natural life.
Opposing opinions welcomed...

Dear all,
I'm a student and I want to get a hexabot for my thesis, which deals with the design of a hexabot with camera system and LiDar. Personally I teach the DH method, unfortunately as one can calculate simple mechanisms. Now it is a complex system 18DOF. I have a physical design in 3D CAD software (Inventor) now I would like to simulate a kinematic and dynamic system.
Is there any software option that would allow me to simulate the kinematics and dynamics, then generate the code? The software I wanted to use failed and I found a replacement software CoppeliaSim.
Thank you very much for your time
Hello,
I have a specific question about VR and AR in professional use.
VR and AR can be used in controlling robots and machines. This is possible if the VR and AR devices and robots are networked together. I wonder how this can be used to help foreign employees understand the language better. After all, virtual control is precisely what reduces the need for language skills. Is there any opinion or scientific source on this?
Thanks a lot!
I'm studying the topic from Probabilistic Robotics by Thrun Burgard and Fox.
In the Extended Kalman Filter algorithm, we linearized the action model in the following way.
𝑔(𝑢(𝑡),𝑥(𝑡-1)) = 𝑔(𝑢(𝑡),𝜇(𝑡−1)) + 𝐺(𝑡)⋅(𝑥(𝑡−1)−𝜇(𝑡−1))
𝑔(𝑢(𝑡),𝑥(𝑡-1)) is the action model and 𝐺(𝑡) is its Jacobian matrix with respect to the state 𝑥(𝑡−1).
I don't see how this guarantees linearity because 𝑔 could be nonlinear in 𝑢(𝑡). The authors don't mention anything about why this is the case.
In other words, I imagined that the multivariate Taylor expansion for this where we get a linear function in both 𝑢(𝑡) and 𝑥(𝑡−1)
Can we call a smart robot as Rational Artificial Being (RAB)? Can robots be considered as Rational Beings? Smart Robots are designed and programmed as intelligent artificial agents (or beings) that have the capacity to make certain decisions alike human beings. Human beings are the only entities who are considered as rationally intelligent, having a unique blend of sense of conscience, emotions, and feelings, and so are deemed as rational agents.
But it is also true that there has been enough progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence over the past few decades. Robots are now designed and programmed as highly intelligent entities that often outsmart their human counterparts in some selected activities.
Now whether it would be rational for us to call robots "rational beings" or rational artificial beings could be a question of interest, for they function on software programmed to mimic largely human behaviors which are considered as rational.
I am doing some simulation for stiffness identification of ABB irb 7600/500kg serial robot links. The CAD model provided in the ABB library is a solid model, but the actual robot is a shell model. Can anyone help to identify the shell model of the ABB irb 7600 robot?

Dear all,
Suppose, I have a column vector of location (position) and orientation of a robot:
[x ; y ; z ; Rx ; Ry ; Rz]
the first three rows are the location and the last three pertain to the orientation.
Now, suppose I want rotate the assembly in Rz with -90 degrees.
I was wondering how to calculate such a matrix transformation?
We know the formula for matrix transformation is 4 by 4 (T = [Rot , Transpose(P) ; 0 , 1]). But my location and orientation matrix is 6 by 1.
Any hints?
I see Jacobian matrix is 6 by 6, but not sure if that works as Jacobian matrix for velocities.
I trying to design a PID controller for a MISO system. The question is how should I define the controller parameters such as Kp, Ki, and Kd. I started with a random initial value, but the output does not reach the defined set-point.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.
Best,
Hamid
