Intelligent Robot Definition • Knowledge Acquisition Capabilities • Sensors • Cameras • Radar • Tactile Sensors • Infrared etc. • Decision Making System • Artificial Intelligence
MIT, AI LAB COG
COG system has been demonstrated on autonomous learning tasks
ENTERTAINMENT • Robots are seen on T.V. (Star Trek - The Next Generation) and in the movies (The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, Lost in Space, Blade Runner, Star Wars). • These imaginary robots do a lot of things that the real ones can not do. • Some robots in movies, video and computer games are made to attack people.
