Mark D’Agostino Overview Introduction / Terminology Examples of Agencies SPOT Fresh Kitty RoboCup Applications of AI and Robotics More Examples The Humanoid COG Film Clip Terminology Artificial Intelligence – The collective attributes of a computer, robot, or other device capable of performing functions such as learning, decision making, or other intelligent human behaviors. Autonomous Agent – A hardware (or software) based system that has the following properties: autonomy - able to operate without the direct intervention of humans or others social ability - able to interact with other agents and possibly humans reactivity - able to perceive their environment and respond to changes that occur in it Agency – A particular system composed of intelligent agents, such as computers or robots, that cooperate in order to solve a problem. Behavior Engineering – A methodology used to develop behavior- based autonomous agents. Fresh Kitty Modular, inexpensive, autonomous mobile robot 4 wheel toy car design Max. speed of 1 foot/sec On-board microcomputer supervises and supports the exchange of information Rotating turret holds 4 sonars Turret also holds an infrared sensor to detect infrared rays 32 light sensors detect objects in front of the robot Bumpers all around the robot used to follow walls Radio modem to communicate with remote agents SPOT Autonomous mobile robot 2 independent wheel design Max. speed of 1 foot/sec On-board microcontroller supervises and supports the exchange of information Turret that holds infrared emitters that can be detected at a distance of up to 20 feet Bumpers all around the robot used to follow walls Radio modem to communicate with remote agents How do SPOT and Fresh Kitty work together? SPOT also holds a small brush on its back SPOT finds a wall and uses its bumper system and sensors to follow edges and collect dust with its brush Through radio frequency and infrared commu
