Transcript Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
Objectives:
•List and discuss types of artificial
intelligence.
•Discuss the current state of artificial
intelligence.
•Discuss the current state of robotics and
cybernetics.
What is AI?
•Construction of intelligent machines for
many uses
•Using computers to understand human
behavior
•Making computers easier to use
Uses of AI
•Military – control and target
identification
•Entertainment – gaming or robotic pets
•Predicting customer behavior
•Speech recognition
Turing Test: If a person can have a
conversation with a hidden computer
and not be able to determine if it a
person or a machine then it is considered
to be intelligent.
What is Robotics?
Robot Institute of America:
Robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional
manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or
specialized devices through variable programmed
motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.
The three laws of robotics
Formulated by Russian/American writer Isaac Asimov:
1. A robot may not harm a human being, or, through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human
beings except where such orders would conflict
with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such
protectiondoes not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Uses of robots:
•household robots
• service robots
• robots in dangerous environments
• medical robotics
• human-robot collaboration
