Humans versus Robots

                    
                                   Technology changes with time, but as technology changes and we become more developed as a society, our views and perspectives of everything we do also change. It is almost as if the more technology a society has, the more and more it fluctuates. With me being somewhat of a tech-junkie and a business student, understanding how technology affects us as a society is something that I find not only interesting, but also has the potential to benefit me further down my career path. Specifically, robots can help people with exploring space and planet Earth. 

 Relative Costs of Robotic versus Human Missions: "Humans are wonderful tools, but they are also expensive tools. Generally, the more mass we launch into space the more costly a mission. Human missions require more mass than robotic missions because we must carry our food, water, and environmental support systems. Unlike machines, humans cannot be put into sleep states for weeks or months to decrease consumable use. For most operations humans want to remain in an environment warm enough for only needing shirtsleeves. Also it is usually necessary to have airlocks and space suits for astronaut egresses. Egress is the word we use for astronauts leaving a spacecraft and going outside. All of these elements add mass, and consequently, cost. Costs are also added because the safety standards for human crews are higher than for robotic devices."
My analysis: Therefore, we can use robots or other technology to prevent loose human life for example in mass launch into space have risky, we also need air, resources for live like  food water. But robots doesn't need anything like, and it can also work with out any rest this so we can research more and more about space. 

Human Exploration:"The exploration of space is not the activity of an individual but a cooperative effort by many elements of society. It gives back to that society a sense of accomplishment, international prestige, a sharing of the excitement of exploration and new frontiers, a set of goals for future generations, advances in technologies, and the economic benefits of commercial uses of new technologies. To a lesser degree this is true of all space exploration, but it is most prominent when humans are involved. Space exploration in the early twenty-first century requires the commitment and resources of a government and the political considerations and agreements that this entails. Thus the decision to use humans is often dominated by societal issues. One motivation for society deciding to explore space with humans is simply the excitement we all share for that exploration."

My analysis: This shows that robots are costly now but in future it can be sell in malls like Walmart, Target . Advance technology can help sharing of new exploration and new frontiers to set a goal for future generation. human society have social issue of  space exploration in the early twenty-first century requires the commitment and resources of government and the political considerations and agreements that this entails. Thus the decision to use humans is often dominated. It can only fixed by future technologies for example ,One motivation for society deciding to explore space with humans is simply the excitement we all share for that exploration. what if we switch place human with robot for space research.


Synergistic Robotic-Human Exploration: "Once it is decided to use humans in a particular exploration task, the next question is how machines, including robots, are used to make tasks easier, safer, more effective, and cheaper. Each specific exploration goal leads to different answers to this question. For example, if we are robotic ally setting up a Mars or lunar base prior to human arrival, then the specifics of what robots and how they are used depends crucially on the details of those habitats.          The robotic augmentation of humans is a recurring theme in science fiction. For example, astronauts donning an exoskeleton suit to augment their strength, as the character Ellen Ripley did in the movie Aliens, is a non-invasive human augmentation that will probably be available in space missions in the not too distant future. As we explore our solar system we will first send our robotic machines and then explore ourselves. And as we go about exploring space ourselves it will always be in a partnership with robots. The goal is to use robots to make space exploration easier, safer, more effective, and cheaper. The answer to the question of whether to send robots or humans is "both" and each at their proper time."

My analysis:The robotic augmentation of humans is a recurring theme in science fiction. For example, astronauts donning an exoskeleton suit to augment their strength, as the character Ellen Ripley did in the movie Aliens, is a non-invasive human augmentation that will probably be available in space missions in the not too distant future. Future robot technology can help to prevent human lives as well as research.
