Key ideas

What if a cyber brain could possibly generate its own ghost, and create a soul all by itself? – Motoko Kusanagi

I’m sorry, but you don’t understand. These are robots – and that means they are reasoning beings. They recognize the Master, … They call me the prophet – Cutie (QT-1 robot)

Can I be his mother? – Roz

What does intelligence mean in robotics?

A draft meaning



  • Self-driving is part of an autonomous car?
  • The amazon robots can transport all my purchases
  • Exploring the surface of an unknown planet is difficult?
  • Surgical robots learn how to interact with patients



The ability to learn from its surroundings and previous experiences by performing specific tasks with or without human intervention in a unknown and complex situations.

Should a robot be intelligent?

Yes, they’re becoming more and more intelligent !!!


Why?
  • Being an autonomous robot also demands a way of learning and a self-improvement in making decision
  • To work with humans in a more natural, safety and collaborative environment

Should a robot be autonomous?

Yes, they’re becoming more and more intelligent !!!


Why?
How?
  • By including perception (such as vision and haptic sensors), object manipulability, recognition and processing systems capabilities.,
  • Today, Artificial Intelligence can help robots to deal with unexpected situations.

Why we should treat robotic intelligence differently?

  • Robotics intelligence involves multiples dimensions compared to AI systems in purely digital environments.
  • We expect robot have to:
    • Perceive their surroundings
    • Interpret data
    • Act on their decisions by physically moving
  • Errors in this actions require fail-safe systems, ethical guidelines, and real-time robustness

How Much Intelligence Should Be Regularized?

Robots require a balance innovation in

Autonomous decision-making

Interact with humans or operate in public places

Ethical decision-making

Ensuring that their actions align with human values

Human supervisio

Maintain a level of human oversight over robotic decision-making

Commercial robots today

Intelligence vs Autonomy

Sci-fi robots vs Modern robots
