Dr. Yanagi, is a 45 years old scientist that is specialized to robotic and artificial intelligence technology. He is a very hardworking and passionate to his qualifications. He is working for almost 20 years to prove that human's destiny is to become androids and after years they will try to bring back their flesh bodies. Likewise, he named his survey, the circle of the humanoids.
Dr. Yanagi wanted to prove his theory but examine the atoms of a human cell, with the hope that it will be constructed but nanobots or something connected to robotics. His theory started to light up when he had the idea to create a highly accurate microscope that can see through the cells of a human. Dr. Yanagi, was working and testing multiple ideas and solutions to his main problem. How he will see the structure of the atoms, since they are the starting point of every living or non entity.
He was staying late nights trying to figure out how he is going to achieve such a sensitive microscope to break through the construction of the cells. He spent a lifetime studying robotics and AI technology, and he couldn't believe he would stick in such an easy task. Based on his words building a microscope is easy as building a software for a video game. However, the hard part is the sensitivity and the accuracy of it. Suddenly as he was ready to fall asleep to his laboratory a bright idea came to his mind. It would be easier for him to build an extra brain to help him than burn his brain over a stupid microscope that has been the main obstacle of his theory.
For that reason, Dr. Yanagi, being a robotic scientist, cancelled his plans for a while to create an artificial intelligence android to help him with his research. Yanagi, quickly prepared a coffee and brought tons of energy drinks to keep him awake. The first step is the planing of his project. He needed to write down the categories and the parts of the robot and mark the ones that he owns to make it less difficult for him. So, he categorized the parts to body/frame, control system, manipulators and lastly the drive frame.
In addition, he proceeded to write the components for the robot to actually function and he created the following list:
----------------
a. Power Supply
As robots are powered by batteries, solar power, hydraulic.
b. Actuators
We use this to convert energy into movement.
c. Electric motors (AC/DC)
We need this for the rotational movement.
d. Pneumatic Air Muscles
As we can say that they contract almost 40% when the air is sucked in them.
e. Muscle Wires
Although, we have noticed that it contract by 5% when an electric current is passed through them.
f. Piezo Motors and Ultrasonic Motors
Basically, we use it for industrial robots.
g. Sensors
Generally, we use it in the task environment as it provides information of real-time knowledge.
----------------
That list would be a savor for him, since he can relax his brain from his current messy state. Then, he wrote down the programs and the work he needs to do with the AI function and he concluded to his final list:
----------------
AI Programs
Usually, we used to operate them in computer-simulated worlds.
Generally, an input is given in the form of symbols and rules.
Basically, to operate this we need general purpose computers.
Artificial Intelligence Robotics
Generally, we use robots to operate in the real physical world.
Basically, inputs are given in the form of the analogue signal in the form of the speech waveform.
Also, to operate this, special hardware with sensors and effectors are needed.
----------------
Yanagi finished the small but comprehensive list and also proceed to do the check-up. Yanagi since he is a software developer for AI he owns the drives and AI programs. However, he is lacking of the body/frame components, since his job is only programming related.
