»Attempts to develop computer systems that can simulate human thinking processes and actions. 1.4 Artificial Intelligence
Such as • Reasoning • Learning • Solving problems • Understanding language • Simulating human senses
Deals with intellectual and logical operations rather than numerical operations.
Artificial intelligence systems include: • Expert systems • Robotics
Expert Systems • Mimic the decision-making processes of experts or professionals. • Respond to the user’s questions by searching through the rules and facts in the systems’ knowledge bases.
Example Diagnosis of diseases
The patient’s history and laboratory test results are input by the doctor into the computer to answer a number of questions.
Based on the information obtained, the specific disease or a list of possible diseases can be identified • It will then propose corresponding treatment to cure the disease.
Robotics » Machines which are equipped with sensing instruments for detecting input signals and environmental conditions, and with stored programs for guidance.
Example • A robot’s access arms can be programmed to grasp and hold objects that are too hot for humans to handle. • A remote control robot is designed to dispose bomb.
Robots can even determine distances and sense light, heat and motion. • Automobile assembly, welding and spray painting are popular applications for robots.
