Artificial Intelligence - Robots Robotics is a technology area that designs machines to perform work usually done by humans. The devices known as robots, have artificial intelligence that makes them appear to have human like intelligence and qualities, such as learning, reasoning, communicating, seeing and hearing. Artificial Intelligence is the behavior performed by a machine that would require some degree of intelligence if the task were carried out by a human. The term robot originates from the Czech word robota, which means "compulsory labor." Robots are more widely known now as a machine that performs work to assist people or work that humans find difficult, dangerous or undesirable.

Robots come in two different types, the drone type which is controlled by humans, and the artificial intelligent type that runs from its own programming.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (album)Robots are in one sense a collection of basic technologies: sensors, controlling and analysis software, pattern recognition capabilities, and so on.
Some of the earliest robots with feedback or self-correcting control mechanisms are still in use today. An example of feedback control is a watering trough that uses a float to sense the water level. When the water falls past a certain level, the float drops, opens a valve, and releases more water into the trough. As the water rises, so does the float. When the float reaches a pre-determined height, the valve is closed and the water is shut off.
The inspiration for the design of a robot manipulator is a variation of the human arm. Unlike the human arm though the robot arm can...
