Ai and Robotics

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics

AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. AI is generally associated with computer science, but it has many important links with other fields such as maths, psychology, linguistics, cognition, biology, neuroscience, etc. AI is the study of how to make computers do things, which, at the moment, people do better.

Applications of AI

  • Healthcare Industry

AI is being tested and used in the healthcare industry for dosing drugs and performing dfferent treatment in patients, and for surgical procedures.

  • Autonomous driving

Machines must weigh the consequences of any action they take, as each action will impact the end result. For autonomous cars, the computer system must account for all external data and compute it to act in a way that prevents collisions.

  • Playing game

General game playing (GGP) and General video game playing (GVGP)is the concept and designs of AI. For instance, GGP of chess, computers are programmed to play these games using a specially designed algorithm. It is considered a necessary landmark on the way to AI.

  • Computer vision

It is a file of AI, which enables the computer and its systems to get input in the form of digital images and videos and take action based on the provided input.

  • Finance industry

AI is used to detect and flag activity in banking and finance such as unusual debit card usage and large account deposits which help a bank’s fraud department.

Robotics

It is a branch of engineering, that invloves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots which overlaps with electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence, mechatronics and bioengineering. Sir Isaax Asimov is often given credit for being the first person to use the term robotics who composed three principles in the 1940s about the behavior of robots. Those are;

  1. Robots must never harm human beings.
  2. Robots must follow instructions from humans without violating rule 1.
  3. Robots must protect themselves without violating the other rules.
