Autonomous Intelligent Mobile Robotics Jerry Weinberg Associate Professor Ross Mead Robot Scientist Computer Science What is a Robot?
What is An Intelligent Robot? • An autonomous system which exists in the physical world, can sense its environment, and can act on it to achieve some goals.
Living Autonomously • An autonomous robot acts on its own decisions • Robots are not directly controlled by humans • Can take input and advice from humans • Robots are not teleoperated • Making them much more difficult and interesting than Battlebots
Autonomous Mobile Robots have to Solve Difficult Problems • Where am I? • Localization Problem • How do I get there? • Path Finding Problem • How do I find the door? • Object Recognition Problem • What are you asking me to do? • Language Understanding Problem • How can I tell you the answer to your question? • Speech Generation Problem
Sensing the Environment • Sensors allow the robot to perceive its environment to get information that allows it to make decisions • Humans have 6 senses what are they? • What sensors does a robot need?
Acting on the Environment • Robots have effectors that allow it to change the state of the world • What are human effectors? • What effectors can robots have?
Achieving a Goal • Achieving a goal requires intelligent decision making • Artificial Intelligence
