Distinguished Characteristics

In this blog I’m going to be defining the difference between zombies, robots, androids, and automatons. Then I’m going to compare and contrast them to each other. A zombie is a dead body and does not have a soul either, rather someone dead who just moans, groans and wants to eat human flesh. Zombies are most commonly seen in horror movies or video games. They also come from African and Caribbean religions. A robot is a machine that resembles a human, they can replicate certain human motions and functions automatically. Robots are commonly scene in science fiction movies. An android is a robot but with a human appearance. So, they can mimic human actions but at the same time also have a human figure. An automaton is similar to a robot, it is a self operating machine and looks very similar to a human. It is programmed to follow a predetermined sequence. These look the most similar to humans out of all four. Zombies compared to the other three really do not have brains because they are just a dead body walking around and are not programmed to do anything unlike the other. Although, zombies are similar to the others in the sense that their appearance is human, just a dead version. Robots is a more broad word to describe because, androids and automatons fall under the category of robots although they can be critically analyzed in a specific category. Robots are similar to androids and automatons because they can be programmed to replicate and action of a human and be designed to act as we do. Robots are different from a zombie because again a zombie is dead with no brain and has no intellectual thoughts. Androids are like  in the movie Star Wars they are kind of shaped like a human in a way but, they show some degree of artificial intellegance. They mimic a human more than they look like one. An Automaton is very similar to a human in the sense of physical features. Automatons are programmed like any other robot they just act in a more humanly manner rather in a robot manner. All four of these have similarities and differences and it is very interesting to see the distinguished differences between each one.
