“Decision makers can satisfice either by finding optimum solutions for a simplified
world, or by finding satisfactory solutions for a more realistic world. Neither
approach, in general, dominates the other, and both have continued to co-exist.”
– Herbert Alexander Simon, 1978 Nobel Prize in Economics & 1975 Turing Award.

11. Homework #2 (On Moodle)
Due Wednesday February 5, 2020 (By Noon)
1. [A] Describe one (1) human attribute important for human intelligence that
is presently well implemented in computer systems.
1. [B] For the human attribute you selected above: Describe an example of a
human being using or exhibiting the human attribute, and Explain your
example using the relevant components of the Human Systems Interconnection
(HSI) model.
NOTE: A human attribute is defined as a quality or characteristic of a person.
2. [A] Discuss a reason artificial intelligence systems are not conscious.
2. [B] If you developed an AI robot that was conscious, could you prove it? If so, how?
3. Choose a Professor. Imagine how the Professor Thinks, Feels, and Behaves. Conceive
of a model that describes how the Professor Thinks, Feels, and Behaves:
3. [A] Show your model visually by drawing and labeling a figure of your model (ATTACH
AS PDF)
3. [B] Provide at least a one full page text description of your model. (USING THE INLINE
TEXT BOX)

• The Robot Operating System (ROS) node
listens to and acts on ROS messages.
• Animation messages are queued with
the CommandSource.py module.
• The CommandListener listens
to CommandSource messages
• The AnimationManager keeps track of Eva's
internal state.
• The Actuators are responsible individual
actions of Eva such as breathing, blinking and
eye movement.
• All animation sequences and 3D data are
stored in the Blender file.

26. Is Sophia a hoax?
• Does Sophia exhibit human characteristics?
• Does Sophia influence humans?
• What does Sophia teach us about ourselves?
• How must Sophia evolve to become more “real”?
