 Robotics has had a great deal with art. One main observation I learned is that art determines the perception people have of robots. There are individuals who believe that robots are beneficial for a more effective lifestyle and can help can accomplish many goals that can be challenging for humans. An example of this is based on the lecture video, where  Professor Machiko Kusahara discusses how robots can be used for emergencies. Robots can be used to save people in fires as a specific example. People can have a negative perception of robots, mainly like in western society. These perceptions come based on ways robots can negatively impact lifestyle and even safety. One example is how robots are going to become intelligent enough to fight against humanity. This perception is widely seen in many sci-fi movies. One western movie that goes over this view is "I Robot." This movie goes over how advanced robots can be mass-produced. However, the movie mainly focuses on how robots, i...

     Today, April 6th, I attended my first event. This event was over zoom, and the main focus was watching a documentary. The event consisted of watching a video on another website(the documentary was not screen shared by the TA) The video introduced Origami, the art of folding.   One may believe that origami art is the art of folding paper, which is true. When thinking about origami, the first thing that would typically come in mind is the swan. However, the video showed very complex 3d models of very complex figures. Origami can be manifested in other ways. This art can be implemented in space travel for example. A telescope can have panels that can fold themselves.  Origami can even be found in nature. It never came to my mind that origami art is even present simply by going outside. Flowers, for example, are an example of this.  One thing I learned is that computers can be utilized to create origami. Scientists can use computers to print out ...

 This week I have gained new insight into how math influences art. I learned that art really has a huge reliance on mathematics. This has been shown heavily throughout history, where artist and architecture base their creations on math. (The references from this insight come from the lecture video and website ). Another insight is the ranges of application where math can affect arts. I would not expect mathematics to affect music. Math is utilized to measure various compositions in music such as vibrations. (reference is a website).                                                                 Greek Architecture An example of an artist that utilized math in art was Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was part of the evolution of how history has been filled with new advancements. By new advancements, I...

 In the article by Snow C.P, "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution'', Snow is communicating how there is a difference between scientists and individuals who are involved in literature. This culture is even witnessed in the UCLA campus, where the north side is dedicated to linguistic classes, while the south is dedicated to STEM related classes. Due to online lectures, I did not have the chance to literally walk from one side to the other side of campus. Due to the covid pandemic, I have not had the opportunity to experience the real college experience. During my first quarter, I had a Life science class( as I am currently majoring in Biology), and I had to take an English composition class(for college entry-level English).  As a freshman, I am still in the process of completing GE requirements, and English courses are no exception. English classes and STEM classes have different mechanics. From personal experience English consists of arguing and supporting yo...
