Velez 2 Introduction Computer scientists have developed a machine with the agility and balance to walk and run on uneven and rough terrain, enabling them to be extra useful in navigating similar environments as humans. Walking is essential to biochemical engineering, as it requires balance and quick adaptation to instability in a matter of seconds. That is why until now; most robots have not been perfect at it. This paper will show the abilities the robots will require to move in the human environment quickly and safely. Background Boston Dynamics’ co-founder, Marc Aribert, established machines with dynamic balance (continuous motion for upright agility) in the 1980’s (Knight 1). When he was teaching at Carnegie Mellon University, he developed a robot with one leg that jumped around the lab, measuring each drop to reposition its body and leg, and how much energy it would require making the next leap. Boston Dynamics have developed a new robot named Atlas that can run on both smooth and rough terrain grounds. Its humanlike agility opened up many possibilities that impressed Google, who acquired Boston Dynamics in December 2013 (Knight 1). Previous robots like ASIMO from Honda and QRIO from Sony could walk but were slow in adjusting their balance, thereby limited to practical value. Atlas has a unique sense of balance and can easily stabilize. Atlas validates dynamic balance, using hydraulics with extra power to move its body while maintaining its balance. It can briskly walk on treadmills, unsteady debris, and balance on one leg. Potential benefits Atlas’ powerful diesel engine is so noisy, and the titanium limbs dangerouslythrash around. It makes it unfit for office and home chores. Nonetheless, it can perform repairs in Velez 3 dangerous environments that workforces cannot enter. The Agile robots could be real lifesavers by taking roles such as firefighters. They could undergo all the damage that could have occurred to the firefighters. They could also care for the elderly, as they would know what to do at all time. It is also a good weapon to be used in warfare, saving countless lives by enduring all the hits and saving the humans. Agile robots could deliver mails much faster with minimal to no mistakes. Robots can work for very long hours without tiring, making them more productive than human beings (Hertz 1). Robots are required to be more precise, making them stronger and faster than people. Therefore, they can be of any size to enable them to perform any task required. Legal and ethical issues The best place to commence thinking about robot ethics is to view the existing legal contexts and ways they apply to robots today. Legal responsibilities’ nature involved in the use of robots and production is examined (Asaro 22). Comprehension of what makes the agile robots unique from the rest of the technologies will assist in the determination of robot ethics different from engineering ethics. There are no generally acknowledged moral theories and several accepted morals. The law has a set of principles and cases that are highly developed that apply to product liability, which can apply to robots that are being treated as products in this case. When the robots start to approach a human-like performance, they can be dealt with as quasi-persons or quasi-agents within the law, enjoying limited duties and rights. The diminished responsibility is a concept that the agents are reflected as not being responsible for their actions. Civil law deals with infringements and property rights, and punishment is by forcing wrongdoers to compensate those harmed by any loss while criminal law deals with wrong moral doings such as murder and stealing and justice is by punishing the wrong doers. In the former, lawsuits are filed seeking compensation. In the latter, arrests and prosecution are conducted. Therefore, civil law is more Velez 4 pertinent to robots since they exist insofar as they are capable to material wrongdoing (Asaro 22). Despite the assumptions on their intentions, moral agencies, or consciousness, civil law can still apply. It will be based on the presumption that the robots are unremarkable technological relics like cars or toasters, with moral and legal issues connected to their use. It is highly noted in companies like AIBO that manufacture agile robots require paid lawyers to advice legal responsibilities in production, advertisement, and robotics sales to the public. The negligence to take proper care and mutual accountability to take appropriate care is the key issue in robot ethics (Asaro 23). It is mainly due to the complexity of possible future interactions, and the product’s autonomy when it is produced. It will be difficult to predict the risks in the sophisticated robots capable of human interaction that extends past the required design. Robots ethics share similar problems with engineering standards- a product’s future interactions that can only be estimated and its production is an evolving and dynamic system whose behavior is not easily guided. Quasi-persons are related to minor children who do not enjoy full personhood responsibilities as their parents do. They are not involved in formulating contracts or sorting legal arrangements. In this case, they are not legal persons, but since children and adults can die in a similar way, in this sense, they become legal entities. Time will come when the agile robots will be quasi-agents before attaining personhood. Crime deserves punishment despite the compensation to anyone directly harmed by crime. Therefore, the state or people prosecute the case while the wrongdoers’ debt is owed to the society. Robot’s criminal laws encounter two principle issues: a moral agent is required to intervene illegal actions, and there is no comprehensive way of punishing a robot (Asaro 24). There is harm, but no guilt, in the absence of moral agency (which is connected to the punishment concept). Therefore, no debt will be incurred to society unless there is a moral proxy Velez 5 to commit it. Robots are not moral agents; hence, they cannot be reformed or corrected back to a moral character. Deterrence only makes sense when moral agents identify the similarity of their choices and actions to those of their next moral agent who has received punishment for the wrong actions and decisions. Security and concerns Human beings are expecting the introduction of robots into their lives hence, strategies to avoid unexpected attacks in robot software is becoming a necessity. This fact is important in medical, defense, and other critical fields involving humans, where tampering can influence major body harm or invasion of privacy (Violino 1). Therefore, industries and researchers should make efforts in perceiving sound practice and cyber safety when creating and selling robot software. Issues in the robotics field will include eavesdropping, service denial, tampering, spoofing, information disclosure, or privilege escalation. The biggest risk robotics can encounter is a loss of control. Risks can begin from the minor ones such as tools misplacement to major ones such as loss of money, and those that are armed and remotely controlled could harm other people. Social problems Among the counterintuitive things observed in the earlier object-oriented programming was that the creators with no programming experience used concepts like encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance much faster than seasoned programs, achieving more rapid results unlike the experienced colleagues (Dautenhahn 690). A similar thinking applies to systems and software development processes. Agile development can be compared to using an iPad, kids can naturally take to it as it only makes logic in the context of what they are trying to Velez 6 do. Therefore, if robots need to interact efficiently with humans, they must have the ability to coordinate and have timely behavior in retort to social context. Nonetheless, the major social concern is that the robots and artificial intelligent applications will displace human workforce. They will be doing everything for us resulting in human boredom, loss of intellectual skills, and loss of human value on this planet. Currently, things like hospitality, travel, and food service are only being maintained human for purely cultural rather than economic reasons. Further required research The ‘internet of things’ has been introduced to the embedded software, similar to all the advanced being needed for future robotics. Eventually, human beings will be surrounded by robotics who will either work with or replace them (Bauml and Hirzinger). Nonetheless, there is no telling if they will go bad and turn against us. We are the developers and testers of the robotics system, but not everyone is ready for the new technology wave. The robots that are used in car assembly lines do not surprise people. As a precaution, people will be extra prepared if there are experienced teams on agile testing ready for transition into robotics testing initiative. Nonetheless, quality control on the robotics technology will be challenging. Testing the robots will need several testers working in unison in a multidisciplinary and cross-functional manner. Therefore, it will be a necessity to be well prepared in creating and testing the software, devices, hardware frameworks, and system’s complex scenarios involving robotics soon or the distant future. Factoring parameter estimations and control feasibility in integrated planning, unified manner, and monitoring methods enable extra active motor control (Bauml and Hirzinger). The usefulness of this approach can be recognized in combined dynamic modes and the degrees of freedom. Just like excavators in construction, a significant research on robotics shows that they Velez 7 will require greater inertial forces on the machine’s weight order, extra efficiency in unstructured environments, and a greater inter-machine and inter-site variation. Conclusion Finally, computer scientists have found their way around making agile robots more stable and balanced as human beings are. An example of an advanced agile robot is the humanoid robot known as Atlas, which was made by Boston Dynamics and is currently owned by Google. Despite these robots displaying our technology prowess, there is still no clear view of what this robotics can do regarding human existence. Robots production is exceeding job creation, and very soon, they will take all the jobs resulting to massive unemployment. It is still not clear on the human safety with the production of these robotics as they are advancing fast and could take over our planet by getting into the personalized systems such as the banking and medical system.
