%T Asimov's Coming Back
%X Ever since the word ?ROBOT? first appeared in a science
fiction in 1921, scientists and engineers have been trying
different ways to create it. Present technologies in
mechanical and electrical engineering makes it possible
to have robots in such places as industrial manufacturing
and assembling lines. Although they are
essentially robotic arms or similarly driven by electrical
power and signal control, they could be treated the
primitive pioneers in application. Researches in the
laboratories go much further. Interdisciplines are
directing the evolution of more advanced robots. Among these are artificial
intelligence, computational neuroscience, mathematics and robotics. These disciplines
come closer as more complex problems emerge.
From a robot?s point of view, three basic abilities are needed. They are thinking
and memory, sensory perceptions, control and behaving. These are capabilities we
human beings have to adapt ourselves to the environment. Although
researches on robots, especially on intelligent thinking, progress slowly, a revolution
for biological inspired robotics is spreading out in the laboratories all over the world.
