As the core part of some software I could make a game engine.
Or I could do the same thing but name it an “artificial heart”, noting that it’s 10,000 times faster than a human heart.
That makes sense because artificial just means made by humans?
- myownpetard 4y agoIt's more like calling an articulated robot with a manipulator a 'robotic arm', despite being infinitely simpler than a human arm and with much more limited functionality. I agree that the speed comparison seems like a very misguided metric though.
- tiagod 4y agoWell, it's a robot in the shape of an arm. A robotic dog doesn't have to look or behave much like a dog to earn its name. You wouldn't call them artificial dogs nor artificial arms (unless they were being used as a prosthetic I guess, but then it's just a robotic prostethic arm)
