The article presents the potential of Lego WeDo robotics classes for developing children’s 21st century competences. There is a postulate to shape children’s competences in times of dynamic changes. The key competences and their classifi cation are described in the introduction. There is also a description of competences in the fi eld of entrepreneurship, personal, social and learning skills competences as well as digital competences relevant in the context of the studied activities. Lego WeDo 1.0 robotics and programming classes are an opportunity to develop partecipant’s 21st century competences – evaluation of the effectiveness of using sets of bricks has become the purpose of the author’s own research. Research questions related to how creative competences, meta-learning competences and team collaboration competences developed. The research was carried out using the method of pedagogical experiment, technique of one group. The author prepared a schedule including creative exercises. Participant observation was carried out, children’s products were collected and J. P. Guilford’s test was used twice. After analyzing the results, it turned out that children achieved skills in building robots, part of the group was able to create their own instruction designs. Pupils collaborated in pairs, were more eager to construct than to program robots. The children expressed their competences of metalearning while making drawings, were able to make associations by comparing themselves to the machine, and also insight into their own minds. Some participants were aware of the complexity of the learning process. During the semester of classes, the skill of creative thinking developed, with the best results were obtained in the development of fl exibility of thinking. Participation of children in robotics and programming classes infl uenced the development of their competences – Lego WeDo bricks were an effective tool for developing the 21st century competences of participants.

The following paper focuses on typification and cataloguing of the various manifestations of body decorating and enhancing in selected novels and stories, and also tries to examine their meanings, what changes they bring, what attitude of the authors towards technological progress they reveal and what social/cultural phenomena and processes they reflect. The paper also questions the upgrades of the human mind and the transformations of humans into some other forms of existence. Nine contemporary dystopian novels and five short stories have been studied for the purposes of this research. The methodological framework consists of texts that question the enhancement of the human body conducted in various ways, especially through biotechnology, bioengineering, cybernetics, robotics, etc.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become part of our daily lives and is a fundamental tool for developing private and professional operations. In this sense, one of the sectors where AI has had the greatest impact has been the financial sector, where it is necessary to establish a regulatory framework to address two fundamental issues to ensure its proper functioning, specifically those aspects that affect digital transparency and neutral algorithms.             To address both aspects, the European Union, through its various institutions, has established guidelines for Member States to apply ethical principles that align financial digitalisation with sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the 2030 Agenda. These ethical values have been regrouped in a series of principles that must be present in the legislation that regulates future financial operations, ensuring their application within the territory of the European Union.             In this regard, financial digitalisation must ensure principles that control risks, creating technologically applicable rules for all sectors that guarantee a level playing field between States without fragmenting the internal market. To this end, they must carry out a prior impartial and external assessment for each operation, based on specific and defined criteria that do not violate fundamental rights or the security standards established in EU law. The methodology used in this article is descriptive, compiling European regulatory projects, taking into account academic studies on ethics in the financial sector.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is without doubt a popular science-fiction novel, which has inspired many generations of artists and creators in popular culture and mass culture. It has also become an inspiration for scientific studies in the field of robotics and cybernetics. Modern cognitive sciences are looking for the perfect pattern that will allow artificial intelligence to be achieved. An important problem for scientists was the lack of full knowledge about consciousness. We are able to recreate the structure of the human body in a machine, but we are not able to fully simulate the neural processes that would create human consciousness. This problem is perfectly illustrated by cultural works, including literature and cinematography. We see in them both the emanations of the motifs contained in Shelley’s novel and the realization of scientific hypotheses that shape our image of a conscious, thinking machine.

The paper is devoted to the issues of implementation of STEM education in the learning process of educational institutions. The authors analyse the development of STEM education in Ukraine, determine the level of readiness of educators for understanding the principles of STEM education, and substantiate the need for the introduction of robotics into the educational process as a modern and important trend in STEM education. The concept of educational robotics is analysed. This makes it possible to identify the technical inclinations of students (at an early stage) and development of these inclinations, as well as formation of STEM competency in general. The study focuses on the interdisciplinary aspect of STEM education, in particular on the implementation of interdisciplinary links between STEM subjects and robotics in the conduction process of research and training projects. The authors provide examples of the implementation of robotics in the educational process based on the use of a project method. The article also includes a description of the project for the creation of the Juno Rover robot based on the Arduino robotic platform in university education and two examples of the robotics projects in school education (one of them is implemented on an open platform with freely distributed materials for creating and using 3D printed robots).

Od momentu rozpoczęcia czterech wielkich reform, Chińska Republika Ludowa jest zaliczana do najszybciej rozwijających się państw na świecie. Jednym z najbardziej dynamicznie rozwijających się obszarów są siły zbrojne. Niniejszy artykuł opisuje przemiany, jakie miały miejsce w Chińskiej Armii Ludowo-Wyzwoleńczej (PLA), ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem znaczenia nowych technologii. Podobnie jak w przypadku Stanów Zjednoczonych czy Federacji Rosyjskiej (Związku Radzieckiego), Chiny charakteryzują się własną rewolucją w sprawach wojskowych (RMA). Po latach uzależnienia technologicznego od ZSRR, wybudowały własną sieć uniwersytetów i instytutów badawczych, pozwalających na produkcję broni wysokiej klasy. Stopniowe nasycanie innowacjami militarnymi armii umożliwiło odejście od doktryny wojny ludowej, polegającej na zaangażowaniu całego społeczeństwa w wysiłek wojenny, na rzecz doktryny wojny informacyjnej. W siłach powietrznych pojawiły się bezzałogowe pojazdy latające (UAV), których liczba nieustannie rośnie. Służby wywiadowcze, znane z przeprowadzania skutecznych operacji szpiegowskich, wykorzystujących osobowe źródła informacji, coraz częściej pojawiają się w cyberprzestrzeni. W kosmosie PLA dysponuje bronią antysatelitarną, zaś u swoich brzegów rakietami umożliwiającymi niszczenie amerykańskich lotniskowców.

Since the beginning of the four great reforms, China has been one of the fastest growing countries in the world, its armed forces being one of the areas of the most dynamic changes. The article describes the changes that have occurred in the Chinese People’s Army – Liberation, taking into account the importance of new technologies. Like the United States or the Russian Federation (the Soviet Union), China has undergone its own revolution in the military affairs (RMA). After years of technological dependence on the USSR, they have created an independent network of universities and research institutes allowing for the production of high-end weapons. The gradual saturation of the army with military innovations has enabled a departure from the doctrine of people’s war promoting the involvement of the whole society in war efforts in favour of the information warfare doctrine. Unmanned flying vehicles (UAVs) then appeared within the Air Force that are constantly growing in number. The intelligence services carrying out effective spy operations with the use of personal sources of information are operating in cyberspace on an ever bigger scale. In space, the PLA is using anti-satellite weapons, while along its coasts it has to its disposal special rackets allowing for the destruction of American aircraft carriers.

Artificial intelligence, besides blockchain, is the main topic discussed by representatives of nearly every branch of economy. Some entities are trying to search for their place in the world of artificial intelligence driven technology and others are looking carefully at the developments in the AI. Undoubtedly, software making use of the artificial intelligence can be viewed as something that can change the world we live in. The titles of press releases or other information sources are stimulating ones imagination in the range of possible application of artificial intelligence. At the same time, there is a group of people from the technology sector, that are concerned by the rapid and limitless development in this regard. The future of artificial intelligence and its application is still unknown but there are as many positive expectations as negative predictions. There are still many questions that have to be answered before the time that deep or strong AI will be prepared for everyday use. One of such questions is whether copyright is only dedicated for human beings? If the answer is affirmative than the next question that have to be asked is what form or type of protection can be used for works of art made not by humans? This are not the only problems that may arise (or has already arisen) from the use of AI.

Robotników i roboty łączy ze sobą intencja do posłuszeństwa rozkazom, która jest powodem mojej propozycji analizy kilku opowieści o robotach autorstwa Isaaca Asimova. Realizowanie programu w trakcie wykrywania i rozwiązywania problemów oraz wypełniania zadanych instrukcji – to wszystko czyni robota doskonałym niewolnikiem. Trzy Prawa Robotyki Asimova stanowią formalny warunek możliwości pracy w społeczeństwie utrzymującym roboty, tak samo jak niewolnicze prawa w koloniach brytyjskich Ameryki miały zapewnić utrzymanie efektywności niewolnictwa poprzez zamknięcie niewolników w miejscach ich pracy. Poprzez ustanowienie struktury rozkazu potrzebnej w utrzymywaniu i demontowaniu pracującego systemu androidy Asimova objawiają niemożliwość obydwu – robotów i niewolników. Trzy Prawa i ich konsekwencja, czyli gwarancja ochrony, rozkazu i operacji, prawdopodobnie nie mogą działać wobec podmiotów będących oddzielnie panami lub niewolnikami. Te Prawa są paradoksalnym zestawieniem w konsekwencji czego niewolnictwo staje się niemożliwe z punktu widzenia logiki.

Slaves and robots have in common that they are intended to obey orders. Therefore I suggest taking a close look at some of Isaac Asimov’s robot stories. Executing a program while detecting and overcoming problems and acting towards fulfillment of given instructions—all this makes a robot a perfect slave. In the same way as slave laws in the British Colonies in America were intended to keep slavery effective by confining slaves in their place, so are Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics the formal condition for the workability of a robot holding society. Asimov’s androids reveal the implicit impossibility of both robots and slaves by establishing the command structure that would be needed to keep the system working and then disassembling this structure. The Three Laws, as they are meant to guarantee protection, command, and operation, cannot possibly work with separate master/slave subjects. They are a paradoxical juxtaposition. And consequently, slavery is logically impossible.

W artykule przedstawiono cel pracy, którym było stworzenie lekkiej i taniej protezy mioelektrycznej ręki w kształcie ludzkiej dłoni, uzyskanej ze skanowania 3D, za pomocą inżynierii odwrotnej. Pozwoliła ona na dokładne odwzorowanie działania i wyglądu. Dodatkowo umożliwiono niezależne poruszanie kciukiem i palcami. Jest to innowacyjna koncepcja efektora w kształcie ludzkiej dłoni z wykorzystaniem autorskiego mechanizmu poruszania palcami. Praca dotyczy również problemu protez rąk. Protezy kończyn górnych stanowią bardzo skomplikowane zagadnienie. Podczas ich tworzenia należy wziąć pod uwagę złożoność i precyzję wykonywanych czynności i różnorodność. Sztuczna ręka powinna pozwalać złapać każdy przedmiot z dużą dynamiką, odpowiednią siłą i precyzją. W tym celu został wykonany przegląd literatury i patentów na temat ludzkich efektorów robotycznych; stworzono założenia projektowe dla rozwiązania autorskiego, a następnie zrealizowano projekt w środowisku programistycznym CAD i podstawowe badania mechaniczne przeprowadzone za pomocą narzędzi CAE (SolidWorks i Ansys). Na końcu wykonano analizę numeryczną MES w oprogramowaniu Ansys, biorąc pod uwagę obciążenie, odkształcenia i napięcia według hipotezy Hubera-von Misesa.

The paper presents aim of work to create a lightweight and cheap mioelectric prosthesis hand with shape of human hand obtained from 3D scan with reverse engineering that allows the most accurate imitation of the action, accuracy, and to allow for independent movement of the thumb and fingers. This is an innovative concept of the human hand shaped effector with use of proprietary finger movement mechanism. The paper also deals with the problem of the hand prosthesis. Upper limb prosthesis pose a very complicate problem. During their creation it is necessary to consider the complexity, precision and diversity of the performed actions. Artificial hand should allow to catch any object with dynamics, relevant strength and high precision. For this purpose were done: a review of literature and patents on human hand shaped robotic effectors, design assumptions for the author’s solution, followed by a project in the CAD engineering software environment, and basic mechanical research using CAE tools (SolidWorks and Ansys) were carried out. In the end a numerical simulation MES was made in Ansys software, taking into account load, deformations and tensions according to Huber–von Mises’es hypothesis.

A defining goal of research in AI and robotics is to build technical artefacts as substitutes, assistants or enhancements of human action and decision-making. But both in reflection on these technologies and in interaction with the respective technical artefacts, we sometimes encounter certain kinds of human likenesses. To clarify their significance, three aspects are highlighted. First, I will broadly investigate some relations between humans and artificial agents by recalling certain points from the debates on Strong AI, on Turing’s Test, on the concept of autonomy and on anthropomorphism in human-machine interaction. Second, I will argue for the claim that there are no serious ethical issues involved in the theoretical aspects of technological human likeness. Third, I will suggest that although human likeness may not be ethically significant on the philosophical and conceptual levels, strategies to use anthropomorphism in the technological design of human-machine collaborations are ethically significant, because artificial agents are specifically designed to be treated in ways we usually treat humans.

The article presents reflections regarding creative machines which use algorithmic principles to create, such as biological algorithms, generative designs, neural networks, learning systems and deep learning as well as robotic tools. One of the most distinctive examples of an artist that constructs autonomous machines capable of creating artistic artifacts is Patrick Tresset and his Paul. The discussion focuses on the recurring question: Is the position of the artist in the times of AI still reserved strictly for humans, or can artistic and aesthetic values be also attributed to works of creative machines?

On the 16 th of February 2017 the European Parliament by the Resolution 2015/2103(INL) called on the European Commission to elaborate new solutions based on civil law that could respond to the rapid present-day development of robotics and AI. The Resolution indicates Asimov’s Laws as one of the bases of civil law rules on robotics. The authors of the article analyse whether, taking the professional legal perspective, the Laws may really play such a role adequately. Their analysis reveals that because of many reasons the Laws are not good instruments for drafting legal rules. Even if the Laws are treated as very general ethical recommendations they rather cause confusions and unsolvable problems than give real directives. The authors speculate that referring to them was an expression of attachment of the EP to the old androidal paradigm of robotics assumed decades ago and still strongly present in popular culture.

The paper is devoted to the general outline of the issue of rescue robotization, which has already gained the status of a separate research and engineering discipline in Anglo-Saxon countries. The role of rescue robotics will grow, especially in areas such as firefighting, disaster relief, or search operations, as well as in the transport of medical and rescue equipment in various difficult field conditions. In the future, the importance of robots used to evacuate victims from danger zones will increase further, especially in view of the fact that they can be used both on the ground, in the air, and above and under water.

Artykuł poświęcony jest ogólnemu zarysowaniu problematyki robotyzacji ratownictwa, która w krajach anglosaskich zyskała status wyodrębnionej dyscypliny badań oraz inżynierii. Rola robotyki ratownictwa będzie rosnąć, szczególnie w takich obszarach jak: pożarnictwo, niesienie pomocy ofiarom katastrof, akcje poszukiwawcze, a także w transporcie środków medycznych i ratunkowych w różnych, trudnych warunkach terenowych. W przyszłości zwiększy się znaczenie robotów służących do ewakuacji poszkodowanych ze stref zagrożenia, szczególnie, że mogą być one stosowane zarówno na ziemi, w powietrzu oraz nad i pod wodą.
