Kiss or kill: what robots can do for humanity
A human kiss can be delivered long-distance by a humanoid go-between… if it doesn't decide to blow you to pieces first. Those are just some of the innovations in robotics showcased at a festival in Sheffield this week Nicola Davis he Observer, Sunday 14 September 2014

Experts will be sharing the latest news in a series of talks and demos under the banner of The New Age of Robotics as part of Sheffield's wide-ranging Festival of the Mind, which starts on 18 September.
“Science fiction robots are very different from real robots, and we want to show people what technologies are available now, what might be round the corner, and discuss the societal issues around those,” says Tony Prescott, director of the Sheffield Centre for Robotics and professor of cognitive neuroscience.
A collaboration between Sheffield University and the city, the festival will delve into the pros and cons of emerging technology. Among the talks, Professor Adrian Cheok from City University London will share a romantic vision of the future in his adults-only "X lecture", explaining how "digital intimacy" could let us share physical sensations, from hugs to smells. His team has developed the "Kissenger", a method for transmitting a long-distance smooch using a pair of devices that capture and replicate lip movement.
More cautious about embracing a techno-future, Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at Sheffield University and co-founder of the International Committee for Robot Arms Control, will explore the potential dangers of robo-warfare. "Robot weapons pose a new and terrifying threat to humanity," he says. "They will select their own targets and attack them without human involvement."
More likely to amuse than unnerve, however, are two robots on show as part of the festival‘s interactive exhibition. Able to display a range of emotions, the stateof-the-art humanoid, Zeno, is keen to challenge visitors to a game of Simon says, while Paro, a robo-seal developed in Japan, showcases one of the burgeoning applications for robots in health and social care. Prescott explains: “In our research we are looking at how useful this is – how effective it might be – in actually calming down people with Alzheimer's, which is one of the applications. And we're looking at how people with different personalities might respond to those kinds of robots.”
There's little doubt that as technology develops so too will the ethical and social dilemmas. But while some view a future “singularity” – the point where artificial intelligence exceeds our own – as spelling the end of mankind, Prescott has a more sanguine outlook. “I think our job as technologists is to think about those futures and to see what we can start to do now to ensure that we end up with the more optimistic scenarios being realized and avoiding the dangerous ones.
“This Festival of the Mind is one small part of that – engaging with people about things they are worried about, and then, in our research programmes, making sure that we anticipate those things.

(Uma colaboração entre a Universidade de Sheffield e a cidade, o festival irá mergulhar nos prós e contras da tecnologia emergente. Entre as palestras, o professor Adrian Cheok, da City University, em Londres, compartilhará uma visão romântica do futuro em sua palestra X, explicando como a "intimidade digital" poderia nos permitir compartilhar sensações físicas, de abraços a cheiros. Sua equipe desenvolveu o "Kissenger", um método para transmitir um beijo de longa distância usando um par de dispositivos que capturam e replicam o movimento dos lábios.)

"Paro, a robo-seal developed in Japan, showcases one of the burgeoning applications for robots in health and social care",
a expressão burgeoning applications significa
a) aplicações que são úteis para a saúde.
b) aplicações nefastas à saúde.
c) aplicações que estão se desenvolvendo rapidamente.
d) aplicações que devem ajudar pacientes burgueses.
e) aplicações ainda sendo testadas em robôs.

👍 Comentários e Gabarito C
Resolução
No parágrafo 6, na sentença “Paro, a robo-seal developed in Japan, showcases one of the burgeoning applications for robots in health and social care”, a expressão burgeoning (crescente, de crescimento rápido) applications significa aplicações que estão se desenvolvendo rapidamente.

No parágrafo 7, Prescott apresenta uma visão
D) otimista em relação ao futuro.
Lê-se no parágrafo 7 “I think our job as technologists is to think about those futures and to see what we can start to do now to ensure that we end up with the more optimistic scenarios being realized and avoiding the dangerous ones.”. (Nosso trabalho como tecnólogos é pensar sobre estes futuros e ver o que nós podemos começar agora para assegurar que tenhamos cenários mais otimistas e evitemos aqueles mais perigosos.”)
