Autonomous weapon systems and military robots move from science fiction movies to designer drawing boards, to engineering labs, and to the battlefield. These machines have created a debate among military planners, robotics technicians, and ethicists about the development and deployment of weapons that can perform more and more sophisticated functions, including targeting and using force, with little or no human control. Some military experts believe that autonomous weapon systems not only provide significant strategic and tactical advantages on the battlefield, but are also morally preferred over the use of human fighters. On the other hand, critics believe that these weapons…

This article is a workshop that is the result of the interaction between SKILLS – DEUTSCHE ABTEILUNG students and teachers on the advantages and disadvantages of “modern technology”. Although minor changes have been made, the materials available are mainly research analyzes. What are the advantages and disadvantages of modern technology? The impact of technology on our lives is huge. We use technology on a daily basis to perform certain tasks or needs. See below for complete answers to the questions above: Advantages of technology: Easy access to data: Information is power. Anyone who finds information and uses it correctly will…

Friendly and generous human interaction is the heart of good hospitality, whether it is a hotel, restaurant or club. What does hospitality look like and how does it feel when human workers are replaced by machines? This is already happening all over the world, from robots that run hotel receptions to machines that can grill burgers. Experts predict that robots will make up 25 percent of the hotel workforce by 2030, providing challenges and opportunities for an industry that has traditionally been slowed down by the adoption of new technology. Professors John Bowen and Cristian Morosan of the Hilton College…

With a recently released animation called “Let’s Start Building the Future,” Coop Himmelb (l) au announced his intention to take digital production to a radically new scale to show how technology affects almost every aspect of the architectural profession. The rise of design data modeling and other modeling software has changed the way architects and engineers navigate the construction process, allowing us to create increasingly complex shapes that can be modeled with CNC machining and 3D printing, but there is still a big difference between the technologies. available to architects and used by builders. In terms of the actual construction…

ADJUSTMENT: Nano: insect size (up to 50 cm) Small: Larger than the size of an insect, but quite small (less than 2 meters long). This is the size of most consumer drones. These drones can be controlled by one person. Medium: Smaller than a light aircraft and usually requires two people to be carried. Large: The size of a small aircraft often used in military or surveillance situations. IN THE FIELD: Short Range: Most drones in the area usually have approx. 8 km and can stay in the air for an average of 20-30 minutes. Consumer drones fit into this…

Known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAS) or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a drone is virtually any aircraft that flies in the sky without a pilot, regardless of whether it flies independently or with a remote control on the ground. As you’ve probably noticed, they’re becoming more common as technology advances rapidly. In fact, drone sales are expected to grow from 2.5 million in 2016 to 7 million in 2020, a staggering 180% growth. This means that newer and more versatile versions of them are constantly hitting the market, making it difficult for different models to survive. To make matters…

Smart health systems and apps will make the prevention of diseases in a more simple way possible. This will cause a revolution in our healthcare systems and lead to earlier, better diagnoses that save us a lot of misery and money. Resources that we can invest in other much needed innovations and also into the improvement of our health care. Today, however, the necessity of making well-considered choices is increasing. It is important to opt for technology that offers added value for doctors and patients. And it is precisely in that area that we still have a long way to…

In the past scientific and technological developments have already radically changed the world. For current and future societal challenges, too, technology will be an important part of the problem-solving process for, for example, the aging population, rising health costs, the need for healthier and better work, the environment, climate change, mobility and the energy issue. At the same time, however, a new and very important challenge is emerging, which is to ensure that robotisation and artificial intelligence continue to benefit people and society How should we adapt our society to the robot revolution? We can raise awareness about technology and…
