I, Robot Movie Summary and Review

The main character in this movie  was named Spooner who was a detective, who did not trust robots as much as any other person in Chicago city, year 2035. In the movie the robots were supposed to follow three laws.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

 But one robot that Dr. Alfred Lanning who works at U.S. robotics made was different than the other robots. He made one robot who had the ability to not follow these Laws. The robot's name was Sonny. Spooner suspected that Sonny had killed Dr.Lanning. Vicki who was a computer program hacked a lot of robots to kill the Humans and so their first target was Spooner. (But obviously the Hero either dies at the end or does not at all, in this case Spooner does not die). But Spooner did not know it was VIKI controling the robots, and thought that Lawrence Robertson was the one wanting to destroy humans. So when he headed over to his building, he found him dead and there they knew it was VIKI hacking the robots so they got nanobots in a tube to inject VIKI So at the end of the movie VIKI gets terminated and robots stop invading the earth.
 
I,Robot Movie Questions :

• Who killed Dr.Lanning
• Sonny at the end told spooner that he had killed Dr.Lanning
• Who was the robot that had the ability to break the laws
• Sonny
• Who is Sonny
• Sonny is the main robot in the movie who had the ability to break the Laws
• Who Hacks the robots
• VIKI hacks the robots
• Why was Sonny special
• He had the ability to break the three laws

 
 
 

I liked the part where will smith is in the tunnel with all the robots attacking him. For me I did not dislike anything in the movie. The end was interesting because in the end you find out that Sonny was the one who killed Dr.Lanning. I also thought the part when will smith shows his robotic arm was cool. So overall this was one of the best sci-fi movies I have watched.

I give I, Robot...

What is Web 2.0

It is the second generation of the world wide web.

Artificial Intelligence is doing stuff like making robots or other cool technology while working in a lab.

Rodney Brooks says robots will invade our lives

Summary for the video

In this video Rodney talked about the different types of robots and how they work such as in one part he demonstrates this robot that cleans your floors by itself. He describes how the robot senses what you do. He demonstrated how this robot called KISMET reacts to what you say to it and what you do.

one thing that I found interesting was when KISMET was reacting to what the people were saying to it. I also thought that in the part when the robot cleaning knew to not fall was pretty cool.
