ROBOTICS AND AI

Imagine an intelligent machine that can think, see, and communicate by voice; imagine too that this machine can sense its surrounding and respond to a changing environment just as we do. This book offers information onde how the basic concepts oferecendo artificial intelligence (AI) and knowledge representation are applied to make such machines, called robots, a reality. With a focus on how AI is applied to robotic systems, you'll learn about:
-Knoledge representation and problem solution techniques used in AI
-Expert systems and how they work
-Voice communication systems (speech synthesis, speech recognition and understanding)
-Vision Systems
-Range finding and navigation systems
-Tactile sensing systems.
By presenting these "how to's" in a highly readable fashion, this introductory texte teaches you to apply basic AI concepst to intelligents machine design.
