How do you program a body control module?
While there are a few minor changes that you can make to a vehicle's computer, in general the program is in ROM, and you'll need to replace the ROM to make changes to the way the vehicle runs.
In some situations the dealer can connect one of their diagnostic computers and flash a new program into the ROM, but beyond that, you'd need an expensive diagnostic computer to be able to do that.
How many robots are there in the world?
If you are thinking like C3PO in Star Wars, the answer is zero. If you definition are machines that do work for humans in an automatic manner, the answer is many million. If you question is aimed at the industrial robots used in assembly lines then many thousands.
Sorry, but to get the answer you need, you really need to ask a more specific question.
Personally I have a few Roomba's that help with keeping the floors clean, a dish washer and clothes washer and dryer that all could be considered 'robots' in many definitions. Even the automation of the thermostat in a house to keep us comfortable would have been considered a 'robot brain'. If you use a DVR like a TIVO, it does help keep the 'drudgery' of having to program your video recorder with a timer to allow you to watch your favorite programs later, ... in many ways I consider that a 'robot'.
I know that is not the answer you thought you were asking for, but it is more accurate than most I have read.
So far the first robot goes to the Chinese because they have the best documentation (it was a huge water clock with several automatons that did things like display plaques and ring bells), although many artifacts are being unearthed and catalogued that make it a tight race between the Iraq region, Egypt, Greece and India. A short history is in the link below.
Answer #1:
Not yet.
Answer #2:
They will never be able to. However advanced a robot may become, it can never have consciousness. And love has got something to do with consciousness.
Modern science has still not understood what is consciousness. Spiritual science clearly knows what is consciousness. Consciousness is the symptom of the soul. The soul is not an "abstract" concept. The existence of the soul is a fact. the soul is not physical, it is spiritual. Every individual living being is actually a soul encased in a material body made of flesh, bones, blood, tissues cells, organs, which are dead matter. Because of the presence of the soul, consciousness permeates the entire body.
The human or animal bodies are "living" because of the presence of the soul, which is actually the living being. The soul is the source of life for the material body. The soul is actually "alive" and is always alive; it is never born and it can never die. When an animal, plant or human being dies, it is because the soul departs from the material body.
The soul is a "life force": an infinitesimal non-material, spiritual entity. It cannot be directly perceived by the material senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell), and also cannot be detected using any material scientific instrument.
One should not blindly accept the existence of the soul. Certain logical arguments can help in understanding the soul. For example, suppose on the same day, at the same time, two babies take birth: One in a very poor family in Africa and is malnourished, and another in a rich aristocratic family in Europe. What is the reason for this? Isn't it logical to ask, "what had the babies done to deserve their fates?"? Saying that it is just luck, natural selection, or "by chance" is an easy escapist answer.
But logically speaking, if one uses common sense (No one is jailed or sentenced to death without any reason: At least a sane government doesn't do that), one can come to understand that, this is the result of the activities done by the two living entities in their previous lives. Thus re-incarnation is a very logical explanation, and for this to happen the existence of an entity such as the soul is required.
So only if you could somehow get a soul into a robot body, maybe it can love.
Answer #3:
According to Merriam-Webster (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/love), love is a strong, personal affection or concern for, or devotion to, a person or object (affection being an emotional or psychological attachment) - an emotion is an operational state of a collection of responses to stimuli.
Kenji was a Japanese robot that was programmed to love. Unfortunately, the device eventually instantly bonded with the first person (or object) it saw; it blocked one researcher from leaving its 'pen' as a result.
Technically, Kenji the robot reacted to external stimuli (the researcher and even its own teddy bear) and became attached to the stimuli. Hence, Kenji expressed love. Whether or not Kenji experienced love as animals experience it is best left to philosophers or Kenji if it were given the ability to vocalise its intentions.
AI stands for Artificial Inteligence. This comes from the aparent ability of a robot to react to its surroundings and usually comes from programming which uses signals received from various types of sensors such as optical, audio etc to make a robot react in a pre-determined way.
Many places sell robots, There are many different types of robots and complexity. They can be found in toy stores and hobby shops.
How are Microphones and ears alike?
There are many reasons why microphones and ears are alike. They are both tools that take in audio for example.
Apparently the guy who put the answer down before me had no idea what he was talking about, he just said eat food, so I'm going to put down a better answer. Asimo can run at 3.7 mph, or 6 kmh, he can shake hands, climb stairs, he CANNOT eat food (of course), he can deliver trays, he responds to his name, he responds to movements of your hands, his battery lasts for four hours, he can follow people around, he can talk, he answer questions with a yes or no by shaking his head, he can recognize faces, and many more things.
If you mean the word, it is often used derogatorily to describe a process or person that is mindless or controlled by someone else. If you mean the machine, almost anything. One definition of robot is "artificial agent" (a better definition is in the link below). Artificial just means someone made it, agent means it does something for someone (my favorite robot is the dishwasher - someone built it to wash dishes for me). These days most of the really popular robots are exploring places people can't go yet (Voyager left the solar system not too long ago, Spirit and Opportunity are still running around Mars) and doing things too dangerous for humans to do safely (like hunting for roadside bombs in war zones or searching the bottom of the ocean). I used to work with a parts placer in an electronics assembly plant, it took very small parts from reels and bins and placed them on circuit boards. Some car manufacturers use big industrial robots for welding and lifting cars and trucks. Nanotechnology is finally catching on, with motors and wheels the size of atoms. I have seen pictures of remote control robots for doing surgery from somewhere outside the hospital, like from another country. Anything you can build to do something for you is basically a robot.
A robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial agent. In practice, it is usually an electro-mechanical machine which is guided by computer or electronic programming, and is thus able to do tasks on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.
Is a robot that is too smart dangerous?
If designed for something good, no. a robot is only as smart as its creator. the only way it could harm someone is human programing error or intention. ___________________ The robot's intelligence Makes a bad decision, yes. Listen to him, too^.
That depends on what you consider to be a robot. In Ancient times mechanical device existed which could move and might be considered robots.
In 1495, Leonardo Da Vinci is believed to be the first person to design a humanoid robot, a mechanical knight that could move its arms and head.
But the term robot was not invented until 1921 when Karel Capek coined the term in the play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots). The term comes from the word "robota," which is a Czech term for forced labor.
In 1954, George Devol created the Unimate, an industrial robotic arm that lifts hot metal and stacks it.
In 200 B.C. a Greek inventor designed the first water clock, in 1495 Leonardo DaVinci made a mechanical knight that could move as if a person was inside, and in 1801 the automated loom was invented. In 1961 the first mechanical hand is made at MIT, in 1969 an artificial robotic arm is invented, and in 1989 a walking robot named Genghis is built at MIT. In 2000 a humanoid robot named ASIMO is revealed and in 2003 a 3rd generation robotic pet is sold by Sony.
Did Robot come from the term reboot?
No, the word robot comes from the Czech word "robota," meaning "industrial labor." The word first appeared in Karel Capek's science fiction play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1921.
How is robotics used in the automobile industry?
it is used in the industry by using machinery and robotic like equipment to make the automobile parts and put the car together, people mainly supervise to make sure the machines work (::::::)
Answer
Robots are used in many fields and some of them are:
1. Vehicle and car factories,
2. Precision cutting, oxygen cutting, lasers, etc.,
3. Mounting circuits on electronic devices (i.e. mobile phones)
4. Working where there might be danger (i.e nuclear leaks, bomb disposal)
5. Surgeons are performing robotic-assisted surgeries that, among other things, can equalize little jiggles and movements of a surgeon's hands when doing delicate procedures, such as microscopically aided surgery or brain surgery, etc.
6. Other manufacturing, such as certain repetitive steps in assembly lines or for painting products so humans don't breathe the over spray or have to work with respirators on, working in the heat of drying and treating ovens on wood products, etc.
7. Mail delivery to various mail stations throughout the buildings in large corporations. (They follow routes marked with ultra violet paint).
8. To assist police and SWAT teams in dangerous situations, such as with hostages or in shoot outs and stand offs. They can be sent to the scene to draw fire, open doors, "see" the environment from a closer view point, or look in windows with cameras, etc.
9. Bomb diffusion, land mine detection, and military operations where they are used as in #8 above.
10. Remote procedures by a surgeon or other Doctor Who is unable to be there to perform the surgery in person (such as at an ice-bound Antarctic research center) or where there is a shortage of surgeons in a specific specialty (Alaskan Tundra) and the remote surgeon does or guides the procedure from far away via robotic "hands".
11. Space
12. Toy (Playing ect.)

Another Answer
Robotic systems are used in a number of ways such as:
1) In manufacturing - To help make stuff, faster and with more more quality control;
2) In processing operations - fitted with cameras to sort foods quality;
3) In inaccessible areas - very small robots accessing places we can't go, or space exploration missions;
4) In dangerous areas - inside nuclear reactors to check them out;
5) In the military - to keep humans out of harms way;
6) In medical environments - helping surgeons perform operations;
7) To assist disabled people - with the use and control artificial limbs;
8) To help market their products - the Honda Robot, Vacuum Robot;
9) To find out what they are capable of doing - in universities and research organizations;
10) In toys - Very simple robotic techniques are used in toys for children.
Another Answer:
Pretty much in my opinion they are there to do jobs, that we can't do, are not very good at doing (high precision, repetitive work) or don't want to do.

Robots are used in many industries, for instance in the auto manufacturing, it is hand trained to do all the spot welding on a car's body.
Robots are good for tedious, repetitive tasks that humans can do--but don't enjoy doing or that could create tendonitis or muscle and nerve problems (like tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome) from the strain and muscle fatigue inherent in repetitive tasks.
Humans are better suited for complex, creative, adaptive tasks, and robots are better for tedious, repetitive tasks--allowing humans to do the harder thinking work.
A robot is used for replacing humans for jobs or entertainment to make life more convenient.
