As stated in the previous chapter, we believe that the Babylonians invented
The Babylonian Abacus was developed to Reduce
The period 2700–2300 BC probably saw the first appearance of an abacus, a table of successive columns which defined the orders of a 60 digits number system.
The Difference Engine (Charles Babbage 1822) was a mechanical machine designed to Reduce the Time to calculate complex mathematical functions.The Analytical Engine (Charles Babbage 1833) was a mechanical machine designed with modern computer elements like arithmetic, logic, and memory.Both these "computers" used 10 digit (decimal) mechanical cogwheels to perform mathematical calculations
These "robots" are not considered intelligent. They are electrical machines designed to permit 6-axi
Most modern robots are said to be autonomous or semi-autonomous because they do not require much human input after they have been programmed.
A robot can easily be programmed to do a lot of different things (like on an assembly line), but it will never change what it is doing. It will continue to the same job until you turn it off.
Robotic Bartenders on Quantum of the Seas - Royal Caribbean:
Robots and Artificial Intelligence are two different things.
Robot technology is not a subset of Artificial Intelligence.
Robots and Artificial Intelligence are two different things.

Charles Babbage created the first mechanical computer These "robots" are not considered intelligent
The first digital computers used electromechanical switches
Vacuum tubes are much faster than electromechanical switchesTransistors are much faster than vacuum tubes
Integrated circuits are much faster than transistors
Tomorrow's computes will be faster than the human brain?
Smarter Than Humans?
If we believe in Moores Law:
In 2020, computers have the capacity of a mouse brain.
In 2030, computers might have the capacity of a human braIndustrial robots have been around for more than 50 years.
The first robot patent was applied for in 1954 and granted in 1961.
In the mid 1950s, McCarthy coined the term "Artificial Intelligence" and defined it as "the science
The algorithms has been here since then. Why is AI more interesting now?
The answer is:
Computing power has not been strong enough
Computer storage has not been large enough
Big data has not been available
Fast Internet has not been available Another strong force is the major investments from big companies (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, YouTube) because their datasets became much too big to handle traditionally.
For these jobs, computers are much more affordable than people.
