Are we a robot?

Rhancodas shamaldas chancad, the genius man from 3 idiots movie said robot is a device that is used to help human job. Fan, handphone, also zipper are robots. But Wikipedia said that robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electromechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. From my perspective, robot contains two basic component, electrical and mechanical. The first robot which I build in the first time was a Tamiya. Then time flies, I can make a complicated one. It looks like human, so people usually call it a humanoid robot.

This complicated machine can dance and walk like human. It takes a year to build her. Designing the body, assemblying the bones, routing the blood line, programming the brain until become a robot.

After that, I build an autonomous boat for surveyor. I call it Savinna. It operates in 2 modes, Manual Mode or Autonomous Mode. In Manual Mode, it is controlled directly by operator. The Operator can see Savinna’s movement through Ground Control Station and input the commands to Savinna with Remote Controll. In Autonomous Mode, Savinna moves based on GPS coordinates, that’s been set before. The GPS coordinates are set in Ground Control Station.

The next project is very challenging. I will make a robo submarine. This sub marine can dives 100 meters in the deep sea. You can control it from the station on the ground or you can be inside it and drive it to sea underwater scenery.

So, from the description I write above we can come to the conclusion. Are we a robot?

 First, technology grows very rapidly. One of the result is human that lose himself, human declines his working’s ability. Even, human is not only represents that jobs to robot technology and auto parts industries but also being robots, parts, and  screwdrivers for capitalism industry.

Second, something that was created by the greatest to be leader on the earth. Having good behavior, treating nature as partner, protecting weak people, doing humanity value as a lord’s robot.

Which do you choose?
