Introduction to Robotics with AI

Introduction to Robotics & AI

What is Robotics?

Robotics is the field of designing, building, and programming machines (robots) to


perform tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously.

What is AI in Robotics?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhances robotics by enabling robots to:


• Perceive their environment.
• Make decisions.
• Learn from experience.
• Adapt to new situations.

Importance of AI in Robotics
• Automation: Reduces human effort in repetitive tasks.
• Precision: Enhances accuracy in manufacturing and surgery.
• Autonomy: Allows robots to operate without human intervention.
• Human Interaction: Enables robots to understand and respond to people
(e.g., chatbots, assistants).

Examples of AI-Powered Robots


• Self-Driving Cars (Tesla, Waymo).
• Humanoid Robots (Sophia, Atlas by Boston Dynamics).
• AI-Powered Drones (Military, delivery services).
• Surgical Robots (Da Vinci Surgical System).

Components of AI Robotics

Robots gather data through sensors:


• Vision (Cameras, LIDAR): Helps robots see and recognize objects.
• Touch Sensors: Detect pressure, vibration, and texture.
• Microphones & NLP: Enable voice interaction.

2. Decision-Making (AI & Machine Learning)

AI allows robots to analyze data and make decisions:


• Machine Learning: Helps robots learn from past actions.
• Reinforcement Learning: Enables trial-and-error learning.
• Computer Vision: Helps robots recognize images and environments.

3. Motion & Control (Actuators & Robotics Systems)


• Robotic Arms: Used in industries and space exploration.
• Autonomous Navigation: Used in self-driving cars and drones.
• Soft Robotics: Flexible robots that mimic biological movement.

4. Human-Robot Interaction
• Natural Language Processing (NLP): Enables robots to understand speech
(e.g., Siri, Alexa).
• Facial Recognition: Used in security systems and social robots.

AI Techniques Used in Robotics

1. Machine Learning (ML) & Deep Learning


• ML enables robots to improve their performance over time.
• Deep Learning (Neural Networks) helps robots recognize patterns.

2. Computer Vision
• Allows robots to “see” and understand surroundings.
• Used in facial recognition, self-driving cars, and industrial
automation.

3. Reinforcement Learning
• Robots learn by trial and error (e.g., training robots to walk).

4. Natural Language Processing (NLP)


• Enables voice-controlled robots (e.g., Chatbots, AI Assistants).

5. Neural Networks & AI Models in Robotics


• Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): Used in image recognition.
• Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): Used in speech processing.
