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
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
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?

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.
Scientific progress makes huge milestones toward developing new advanced technologies which are more and more present in human lives. Today robots replace people in many spheres such as health care, security and military, industry, education, entertainment and science. Role of robots becomes more significant because they are able to do the job which people are not able to perform well. Sometimes people are too lazy to do some routine work, due to such situation those tasks could be delegated to machines. People’s life become more technology based what makes demand for efficient robots larger. Engineers say that today robots look like machines, but in near future robots will have more human appearance, today they do some simple job, but in near future much more complicated tasks would be trusted to them. History of robotics goes far to the history when the ancient Greeks describes first devices that people were projected to fly to the sky like birds. In fact, heart of any robot is some program that direct the device and control it actions. Robot cannot perform the tasks that was not programmed in it and this if the factor what makes it quite limited in its actions. Current studies in robotics are aimed to remove those disadvantages and make robots more functional and universal through development of artificial intelligence that can operate independently. Curiosity of world community to robotics increase every day what make all the research and inventions in robotics more demanded. History of robots, resent achievement and future perspectives of robotics have to be studies and researched to understand what machines can give to humanity and what pros and cons exist in the r...
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
Robots have been seen in science fiction movies and books for many decades. With technology increasing at an exponential rate, science fiction is quickly becoming fiction. Advancement in robotics technology will provide the opportunity for the improvement of the quality of human life, but actual implementation and integration poses some problems that will require careful thought. We should be open to this new age of technology, but must also be aware of the numerous difficulties and possible ramifications this new age may bring us.
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.
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
Artificial intelligence refers to the ability of machines to make decisions and perform duties on their own as if they were human beings. Primarily, artificial intelligence is associated with robots to form the term robotics. Robotics involves all the processes involved in the creation, management, development, use, and maintenance of robots. Robots came about as a result of technological development, and since their inception, they have affected various industries and sectors. Transportation is one of the areas that has been affected by artificial intelligence (AI), and there is still more promise of AI involvement in transportation. Overly, there are expectations for more positive impacts on transportation from robotics as compared to the
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.
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...
