Here is the list of frequently used terms in the domain of AI − Sr.No Term & Meaning 1 Agent Agents are systems or software programs capable of autonomous, purposeful and reasoning directed towards one or more goals. They are also called assistants, brokers, bots, droids, intelligent agents, and software agents. 2 Autonomous Robot Robot… Continue reading

AI is developing with such an incredible speed, sometimes it seems magical. There is an opinion among researchers and developers that AI could grow so immensely strong that it would be difficult for humans to control. Humans developed AI systems by introducing into them every possible intelligence they could, for which the humans themselves now… Continue reading

Yet another research area in AI, neural networks, is inspired from the natural neural network of human nervous system. What are Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)? The inventor of the first neurocomputer, Dr. Robert Hecht-Nielsen, defines a neural network as − “…a computing system made up of a number of simple, highly interconnected processing elements, which… Continue reading

Robotics is a domain in artificial intelligence that deals with the study of creating intelligent and efficient robots. What are Robots? Robots are the artificial agents acting in real world environment. Objective Robots are aimed at manipulating the objects by perceiving, picking, moving, modifying the physical properties of object, destroying it, or to have an… Continue reading

Expert systems (ES) are one of the prominent research domains of AI. It is introduced by the researchers at Stanford University, Computer Science Department. What are Expert Systems? The expert systems are the computer applications developed to solve complex problems in a particular domain, at the level of extra-ordinary human intelligence and expertise. Characteristics of… Continue reading

Natural Language Processing (NLP) refers to AI method of communicating with an intelligent systems using a natural language such as English. Processing of Natural Language is required when you want an intelligent system like robot to perform as per your instructions, when you want to hear decision from a dialogue based clinical expert system, etc.… Continue reading

Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLS) produce acceptable but definite output in response to incomplete, ambiguous, distorted, or inaccurate (fuzzy) input. What is Fuzzy Logic? Fuzzy Logic (FL) is a method of reasoning that resembles human reasoning. The approach of FL imitates the way of decision making in humans that involves all intermediate possibilities between digital values… Continue reading

Searching is the universal technique of problem solving in AI. There are some single-player games such as tile games, Sudoku, crossword, etc. The search algorithms help you to search for a particular position in such games. Single Agent Pathfinding Problems The games such as 3X3 eight-tile, 4X4 fifteen-tile, and 5X5 twenty four tile puzzles are… Continue reading

An AI system is composed of an agent and its environment. The agents act in their environment. The environment may contain other agents. What are Agent and Environment? An agent is anything that can perceive its environment through sensors and acts upon that environment through effectors. A human agent has sensory organs such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin parallel to… Continue reading

The domain of artificial intelligence is huge in breadth and width. While proceeding, we consider the broadly common and prospering research areas in the domain of AI − Speech and Voice Recognition These both terms are common in robotics, expert systems and natural language processing. Though these terms are used interchangeably, their objectives are different.… Continue reading
