I. Introduction

As mechanical techniques developed through the industrial age, more practical applications were proposed by Nikola Tesla, who in 1898 designed a radio-controlled boat. Electronics evolved into driving force of development to the advent of the first electronic autonomous robots created by William Grey Walter in Bristol, England in 1948. The first digital and programmable robot was invented by George Devol in 1954 and was named Unimate. It was sold to General Motors in 1961 where it was used to lift pieces of hot metal from die casting machines at the Inland Fisher Guide Plant in West Trenton section of Ewing Township, New Jersey.
A robot is a mechanical or virtual agent that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids. Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies deal with automated machines that can takes place of humans in appearance, behavior, and/or cognition. Many of today’s robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. Robots have replaced humans in the assistance of performing those repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans prefer not to do, or are unable to do due to size limitations, or even those as in outer space or at the bottom of the sea where humans could not survive the extreme environments.

    The astonishing inventor, Nikola Tesla, who moved to the U.S.A. in 1844, is thought of a standout amongst the most essential and generally ignored innovators ever. He lost the spotlight over and over in the nineteenth century to Thomas Edison. As a result, the competition with Edison morphed into a standout amongst the most epic combats of electric currents. He initially exhibited the remote control in 1898, when he exhibited a radio-regulated boat. Also, Tesla's remote-controlled boat is recognized to be one of the first robots. In addition, he has been called "the…

    In this day and age, new technology is everywhere, but it’s usually in the form of phones, computers, and, now, watches. However, we’re forgetting one, robots. Now, they’re still quite popular, but they’re mostly the ideals of science fiction worlds set so far into the future we’ve migrated to space. Is it really so farfetched of an idea, though, to think that maybe we could achieve that level? No, in fact and despite the spotlight being diverted away, we’re heading down the path to robo-world already. What a robot is and has been is quite a lenient description, but no one can deny how much they’ve already shaped our lives. According to the passage “Robots Long Ago” by Karen Brinkmann, “Today robots help people with everything from surgery…

    As little as ten years ago, the thought of having a personal computer at one's office desk, home, or grade school seemed far‑fetched indeed. Now personal computers are accepted complacently as part of our modern world. Computer brains run cars, stereos, televisions, refrigerators, phone systems, factories, offices, airplanes, and defense systems, to name a few examples. The next progression of the computer as a mobile unit, robot, may like the personal computer, become a common and essential companion at home and in the workplace.…

    Garbage Man

    In “The Day of the Locust,” written by Nathanael West, he portrays the hardship of living in a city like Los Angeles where people go to fulfil their dreams but only find sorrow and disappointment. I particularly liked a passage located at the end of the novel. West writes, “Their boredom becomes more and more terrible. They realize that they’ve been tricked and burn with resentment. Every day of their lives they read the newspapers and went to the movies. Both fed them on lynchings, murder, sex crimes, explosions, wrecks, love nests, fires, miracles, revolutions, war. This daily diet made sophisticates of them. The sun is a joke. Oranges can’t titillate their jaded palates. Nothing can ever be violent enough to make taut their slack minds and bodies. They have been cheated and betrayed. They have slaved and saved for nothing” (West, pg. 178). This passage takes place during the riot scene at the end of the book. Tod is thrown up against a fence and has time to analyze the angry mob as a whole. He realizes that all of these people have nothing better to do but stand around and start trouble because they are so bored with their lives. They came to Los Angeles for excitement and to fulfill the “American Dream,” but they were left with nothing but unemployment and grief. The worst part about it is that that these people are obligated to stay in the city even though they are not living under good conditions. Tom uses a phrase to describe these people when he says they have “come to California to die.” What he means by this is that these people are going nowhere in life.…
