Robotics & AI

How do you define AI?

AI is the process where machines simulate human intelligence.

Can you name at least three different sub-fields of AI?

  • Robotics

  • Neural networks

  • Machine learning

AI has been around since about 70 years so far. Why is it booming right now?

AI is well now for the improvements of computing power. It's also well known for its advanced algorithms.

Can you name at least three application sectors where robots are being largely employed? What are the reasons?

  • Security, robots can protect humans without being in danger.

  • Space exploration, it's easier for robots to explore space easily since they don't need oxygen to breathe.

  • Health care, robots can perform complex surgeries more accurately than doctors.

Can you identify three major challenges for a wheeled autonomous robot performing a 24h surveillance task in a large facility? (e.g., something like Mall of Qatar)

  • Better power sources.

  • Robots can't engage and socialize with humans.

  • Robots can't do sensitive tasks without human supervision.
