5. What is Robotics?
• Intelligence = Agents that learn from and adapt to their environments while
setting and achieving goals
• Robotics = Embodied intelligence with mobility
• Similar to biological systems
• Multimodal (5 senses) is goal (AGI)
• Basically everything we can do
• Software/algorithms
• Neural networks
• Deep learning
• Vision, Language (NLP), Navigation (SLAM)
• Hardware
• CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC
• Neuromorphic chips
• Actuators
• Cloud Enabled
• Intelligence in the cloud
• Cloud Robotics
