Siri improvements

This is my final siri chatbot.  It is able to answer any questions asked. I think i could improve by having more creative and funny answers.  I enjoyed this task because it worked successfully. I want to make my siri act more reliable and more human like.

Robots useful at home

Examples of robots used at home:
  • JIBO
  • SIRI
  • PEPPER
JIBO is useful because it can do many different things, such as telling stories to kids, taking photos when you pose, easy messaging and video calling.  It can also remind you of any events in the calendar. 
  • Its not that big although it is a handy size to carry if necessary  

SIRI is useful because it can also do many things.  These include:
  • viewing maps
  • make appointments
  • call a friend
  • read text messages
But siri does have its disadvantages:
  • You have to have internet connection unless you have 3g
  • Siri sometimes cant understand what you say.  If you have a strong accent then siri might not be able to interpret what you want him to do. 
  • Needs to be in a quiet room for siri to understand.
PEPPER is useful because its life size! it can also do anything you ask.
  • Life size!Although it might be hard to handle.
  • Doesn't need internet.

The difference between an open ended question and a closed question, is that open ended questions expect  more detailed answers whereas close questions just expect a yes or no answer.

looping and lines!




We learnt how to repeat coding and go to new lines

For h/w I multiplied two numbers together many times



In class, we divided numbers and also divided numbers with remainders!











Robots

Why are they useful??
  • Robots produce more accurate and high quality work.
  • They can produce a greater quantity in a short amount of time.
  • They can work at a constant speed with no breaks
  • They can work in dangerous conditions,

What are the potential problems??
  • Robots have a high cost of for both the production and the purchasing.
  • It needs maintenance to keep it running
  • People can lose jobs in factories
  •  It needs a supply of power                                          
In my opinion, I think people show be aware of the dangers that robots can cause and I think the society show be worried too.  Even though they are a very clever and impressing piece of technology, I think the disadvantages are much more important.  The disadvantages are not to be overlooked!

First of all, I agree that computers are only as smart as their programmer.  This is because computers need assistance and cant program by themselves.  I think it would be impossible for a computer to learn how to learn by itself, because I feel that they can only learn by the person who is controlling them.  Lastly, I do think programmers need to be careful with creating robots who mimic human intelligence because they can get out of control.

Performing in calculations,counting in binary and the fibonacci sequence

1) What is the formula used to return a whole number when doing division?
   =a\b (a divided by b) (e.g. 5//2=2)

2) What is the formula used to return the remainder when doing a division? How does it work? Explain with an example.
a%b

3)Why is it important in computing to understand number systems and in particular binary?
It is important to understand number systems because in many jobs, people are expected to use their knowledge of number systems and codes to work.  Binary is important because it is a way to process the data.

4)How does binary work? i.e how do we convert a number from decimal into binary?
The value of any digit always depends on its position in the whole number.  To convert from decimal to binary, or the other way around, you need only look at the figures place in the whole number and add up its value.

SLC logo

 This is an example of my new logo sketch.  I will make it again in class because I didn't have adobe fireworks at home so I used Microsoft.  I decided to change my logo to this one because my other logo was much more complex for me to draw!!  I would like to change my logo a bit because I want the colours and fonts to stand out more!!

Sunshine leisure centre logo

 
 Sunshine leisure centre logos

This is my favourite logo of my 3 choices because I thought it was eye-catching and a persuasive sketch.  I like how I included the sports around the edge, the bright sun which shows that its a happy place and light blue water that shows relaxation.






This is my 2nd sketch which is busier in the way that is has more drawings/things going on.  I think I could made it simpler although I do think it stands out to the crowd and makes u think of bright colours and happy things.





This is my 3nd sketch which I find much more simpler, laid back but colourful.  I have a sun hovering over the s and I have a body running with a ball showing fitness and exercise.
