ITGS AI and Robotics

Common input devices in robotics

System in which items can be partial or complete members of a set. Used in AI.

Techniques for processing human languages to enable a computer to understand their meaning

General rules of thumb for performing a task, used to improve searching algorithms.

Common output devices in robotics

Technique where computers are trained on examples and learn to recognize similarities

Robot designed generally like a human - bipedal, upright, arms and head

AI system that attempts to mimic the neurons and synapses in the human brain

Computerized device that performs manual or physical tasks autonomously or under remote control

Mathematical theory used in AI in which items can only belong in one set

Logic in which items can have multiple values i.e. temperature warm to very warm, used in AI.

Software used to create expert systems.

System designed to create text that is unreadable to a computer but understandable to a person.

Software designed to make the same decisions as a human expert, in a given knowledge domain.

Approach that tries to create systems that think and learn in the same ways humans do.

Technique for automatically translating one human language into another.

Rule used by the inference engine to describe the relationship between key concepts.

Rule used by the inference engine to describe the relationship between key concepts

A system that produces results comparable to human intelligence. i.e. Deep Blue

Robot designed to look like a human - with lifelike skin and other features

AI technique that considers all possible solutions, looking for the best.

Example data used in a pattern recognition system

Area of knowledge in which an expert system specializes

Part of an expert system that accepts user's input and presents answers

Test to see if a computer is intelligent or not

Input devices used to measure physical traits, such as sound, heat, pressure, proximity, light

Area of an expert system where all facts about the knowledge domain are stored

Level of certainty in an answer a pattern recognition system provides.

Programmer responsible for entering expert knowledge into an expert system

Logic in which clauses can have one of two states - such as yes/no or true/false

Part of an expert system which relates user's input with knowledge stored in the knowledge base

Robot which operates without human intervention

Technique for making a computer produce better results by learning from past experiences

The use of a series of logical statements (inference rules) to come to a conclusion.

Use of previous answers to improve the decision making process next time
