Artificial intelligence is slowly being applied to the wide field of robotics. Anyone interested in intelligent robotics can look into programming in robotics and learning how A.I. is applied. Programming artificial intelligence into robots is no different than on a computer except for the variable of motion and environment. There are starter kits and current A.I. robotic research to look into if one is interested in getting involved. This section will cover the basics in getting started on figuring out how artificial intelligent robots work.
We’ve seen the applications of Artificial Intelligence in face and speech recognition but another wide field Artificial Intelligence applies to is robotics. Anyone interested in learning Artificial

Zeus, Crowder’s first robot, runs on a 9-volt battery, was solar powered, and has a “brain” composed of three neurons and a communication hub. Zeus was shape was inspired by a cockroach and given simple knowledge. Zeus was programmed to feel ‘pain’ from being exposed to light and and that it can moved its body. Eventually it learned to walk and that it ran with solar power. This created a paradox for the intelligent robot. Zeus needed light to recharge its batteries when it ran low but it was programmed to avoid light like it hurt them. Crowder mentioned this paradox was emotion-like for this intelligent robot. The conflict made the robot learn from its emotions and artificial survival instincts. Emotions can help artificial intelligent robots learn and adapt. This simple setup for artificial intelligent robot but it is a start to understanding how to program a robot to think intelligently and …show more content…
While not fully considered a self aware and independent artificial intelligence, the robot does use sensors to analyze the terrain and traverse properly without falling (BigDog). The artificial intelligent robot uses software developed jointly by NREC and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and sensors to help the robot map out the environment around it (Perception for LS3 Overview). Using the sensors it maps out the depth and distance of certain objects. Then the software helps it analyze and categorize certain objects in different categories. A few examples of the categories are obstacles, dense vegetation, light vegetation, ground, and human. The robot is programmed to distinguish between inanimate objects and a human and can follow a person. This robot can carry up to 400 pounds of weight while traversing in difficult terrain and not falling. The BigDog or LS3 robot is currently being used in the military to help soldiers carry large pounds of
It is a shared truth that humans often tend to think of robots as nothing more than computer machines made of objects like metal, plastic, silicone and computer chips. However, in truth, a robot’s general purpose is more complex than some know. In order for a robot to function, it must carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations, and programming the specs is difficult task that could take years to finish depending on the purpose of the robot.
Taking the information the brain stores it for future problem solving. In the same way the algorithm forms the Artificial Intelligence. The Robot is nothing it's just a skeleton. whereas it is the Neural schema of the computer which is attached to the skeletal structure that plays the vital role of doing things. Vasigaran initially programs the algorithmic process, then he builds the Robot. The role of face recognition is vital in this movie. The same is seen in social media like Facebook where the Artificial Intelligence helps in identifying the Face of the users. Vasigaran initially creates ‘Chitti’ which can be helpful to the Indian Army. His ideas were great as the use of Robot in warfare can save the loss of many lives. The Indian military has already started using robots for Army

Artificial intelligence, first developed in 1950s, is defined to be man-made stuff with high-level intelligence. Recently, people in the present day thought about using robots for advanced tasks, like driving from point A to point B, and make decisions during a financial crisis. However, in the present day, they lack the ability to solve problems and reason.
A modern example would include speech recognition within cellular devices. Skype has also produced intelligence that can translate speech in record time. Other examples include self-driving cars, programs that can identify objects in videos, and robotic canines that can imitate life-like behavior from a real dog. There has been an exponential spike in the capability of computer systems and the demand for professionals who can make self-identifying and operating robotics conceivable. The boundaries between science and science fiction are being presented in front of societies’ eyes. As much as society thinks the technology is not prevalent today, the capability and prototypes are present.
This paper discusses three aspects of the field of robotics The first is the history of where the ideas of robotics originated. Second, what was the effect that these ideas had on society? Finally, what developments in the field have proved to be useful to society?
A robot is defined as “A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer.” 1 When the average person hears the word “robot” they often think of a bi-pedal, autonomous, and human-like machine. Although prototypes for these types of robots are already being made, the word robot covers a much larger scope. We are already beginning to see the tip of the iceberg. It is becoming common to see small
Robots are machines that can do the work of a person and that work automatically or are controlled by a computer (Merriam-Webster, 2014). The Robot Institute of America (circa 1979) defines robots as “a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks” (Branwyn, G.). The Japanese Industrial Robot Association (JIRA) has classified robots based on the following: manually operated manipulators, sequential manipulators, programmable manipulators, numerically controlled robots, sensate robots, adaptive robots, smart robots, and intelligent mechatronic systems (Branwyn, G.). Robots have been improved over time and have proven to be efficient because the computer is controlling them. The history of robots goes as far back as the Ancient Greeks and Romans for the use of toys, tool...
The idea behind robots and their uses has been a compilation of thoughts stewing in the minds of engineers and physicists from as early as the 1700. The first representations of these creations was in the textile production industry; i.e. Hargreaves’ spinning jenny around 1770 and Cropmton’s mule spinner that came around 1779. Once these ideas were put into action, the robot development seed was planted and its roots spread into the minds of many potential engineers. This ventured into the development of Numerical Control (NC) and Telecherics technologies in the robotic field. John Parson’s Numerical Control is a system that integrated numbers as a tool to control the machine/robot’s actions, and this led to the creation of a prototype at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1952. Soon after, a Programming language involving sequential paper punching, known as APT (Automatically Programmed Tooling) was developed to accompany the NC on its machine-controlling journey.
Intelligence Search and Rescue Robots is a domain where robots can make difference for assisting the rescuers covers a large part of the robotic and artificial intelligence research themes. For example, robots may be able to enter disaster sites which are too difficult or too dangerous for humans to get into. Once there, robots can gather information about the situation, providing human operators with video feeds, maps, and sensor data. Using this information, humans might be able to make a better situation assessment, to aid emergency management. The design of systems that are suitable for this type of applications involves different research areas, from mechanical design and sensors interpretation to perception, decision making, mapping, path-planning and victim detection.
Robotics research has been conducted for the last few decades. The word ‘robot’ originally coined by Karel Čapek, a Czech writer in 1920 which means ‘forced labor’ (O2, 2013). The purpose of developing robots was for fulfilling the increasing demands of industrial revolution, but now are more focus on showing various level of cognition abilities and intelligence. And thus the research and development of cognitive architecture has been conducted over past few years. Generally, it comprises basic components for technical cognition and intelligence of the robot, including the ability to perceive, to learn, of motor control, of problem solving, of encoding and reasoning, and to communicate (Burghart et al., 2005). This proposal will focus on the ability to learn whereby it is possible to be acquired by a robotic system using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), computational models proposed for the purpose of machine learning. There is a neural network model which is suitable for developing learning algorithm named Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) that allows the learning occurs through adapting with the new knowledge without interfere the existing knowledge (Grossberg, 2013). Hence this proposal proposes a possibility of using ART to develop a prototype learning module based on cognitive architecture for an arm type robot simulator.
Artificial intelligence is a concept that has been around for many years. The ancient Greeks had tales of robots, and the Chinese and Egyptian engineers made automations. However, the idea of actually trying to create a machine to perform useful reasoning could have begun with Ramon Llull in 1300 CE. After this came Gottfried Leibniz with his Calculus ratiocinator who extended the idea of the calculating machine. It was made to execute operations on ideas rather than numbers. The study of mathematical logic brought the world to Alan Turing’s theory of computation. In that, Alan stated that a machine, by changing between symbols such as “0” and “1” would be able to imitate any possible act of mathematical
Robots have many tasks to accomplish in the world, from doing work to playing with humans. Generally, there are few types of robots for these jobs. There are general-purpose robots used to do many functions like walking around or talking to people. Some of these can move by themselves, and some of them try to mimic humans. Robots are also used to work rapidly and efficiently. Factory robots are usually cheaper than human workers, and they can work more efficiently. They can assemble...
In case of emergencies, robots could reduce the percentage of fatal damages that occurs through these cases. In fact, humans’ lives are much valuable and precious rather than robots, in which societies could use robots to scarify through the dangerous situation for the sake of rescuing people. In addition, dangerous situations such as firefighting or earthquake require much effort, precision, and scarifying in the evacuation process. Furthermore, a beneficial feature that could help robots to coexist through the risky situations easily and preform the rescuing mission perfectly is that robots do not have feelings or emotions. According to Bruemmer (2006), robots do not have the ability to realize or notify any aspect that people do not programmed them to do. In other words, robots are merely machines that cannot feel or recognize what surrounding them without a sophisticated program done by humans. Therefore, as robots do not have the ability of feeling or knowing they could go through inhumane conditions for saving people. Moreover, robots have various capabilities that make them unique enable them to do heavy duties and bear more serio...
