5. ROBOTICS
 Robotics combines science, engineering, and
technology to design, construct, operate, and use
machines programmed to replicate, substitute, or
assist humans
Car Manufacturing - Automation
Trash sorting - Automation
 Intelligent robots are programmable machines that
can perform complex tasks automatically. They have
an "artificial brain" that can:
 Respond to situations
 Analyze information
 Learn on their own
 Communicate with each other
 Develop solutions to complex tasks

6. MORAVEC’S
PARADOX
 “It is easy to train computers to
do things that humans find hard,
like mathematics and logic, but it
is hard to train them to do things
humans find easy, like walking
and image recognition”
High precision tasks Stacking cubes
Pickup heavy items
Easy for Robot
Hard for Robot
Folding clothes

12. REINFORCEMENT
LEARNING
• Agents are self-trained on
reward and punishment
mechanisms.
• Take the best possible action or
path to gain maximum rewards
and minimum punishment
through observations in a
specific situation.

13. CHALLENGES
Learning and adaptation
Acquire new skills without need for
programming
Human interaction
Language and world understanding
