Chapter 11, Problem 5DQ

Program Plan Intro

Artificial Intelligence:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) simulates thinking and behaves as human such as the capability of giving reason and learning.

• Its main aim is to develop a system which mimics human intelligence.
• It increases the speed and consistency of decision making, helps in solving the problems without lending complete information.
• The problems which cannot be solved by the conventional computing can be resolved using the AI system.

Components of Artificial Intelligence:

The six key components of AI are as follows:

• Expert systems
• Robotics
• Vision systems
• Natural language processing
• Learning systems
• Neural networks

Robot:

• A robot is nothing but a machine that is capable of doing complex actions automatically.
• It is programmable by a computer and guided by a control device.
• Similar to a computer, robots are linked with networks, software in order to increase its usefulness.
• A robot can identify people and objects. It also can talk; respond to alarms, carries supplies, etc.

Real time examples of robots:

Some of the real time robots in current use are as follows:

• Bionic Legs – It is an artificial leg that supports people with natural movement without requiring the user to intentionally control the joint.
• Hospital robots – They are sued to carry heavy materials.
• U.S Navy’s Bluefin 21 submarine – It is an underwater vehicle that is used in navy.
• Roomba vacuum – It is used to clean the floor and also it has its own bin to store the wastes.
• Dash and Dot – It is a learning program for kids.
