Artificial Intelligence --  research areas 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. Speech Recognition Voice Recognition The speech recognition aims at understanding and comprehending  WHAT  was spoken.The objective of voice recognition is to recognize  WHO  is speaking.It is used in hand-free computing, map, or menu navigation.It is used to identify a person by analysing its tone, voice pitch, and accent, etc.Machine does not need training for Speech Recognition as it is not speaker dependent.This recognition system needs training as it is person oriented.Speaker independent Speech Recognition systems are difficult ...

Artificial Intelligence -- Intelligent system While studying artificially intelligence, you need to know what intelligence is. This chapter covers Idea of intelligence, types, and components of intelligence. What is Intelligence? The ability of a system to calculate, reason, perceive relationships and analogies, learn from experience, store and retrieve information from memory, solve problems, comprehend complex ideas, use natural language fluently, classify, generalize, and adapt new situations. Types of Intelligence As described by Howard Gardner, an American developmental psychologist, the Intelligence comes in multifold − Intelligence Description Example Linguistic intelligence The ability to speak, recognize, and use mechanisms of phonology (speech sounds), syntax (grammar), and semantics (meaning).Narrators, Orators Musical intelligence The ability to create, communicate with, and understand meanings made of sound, understanding of pi...

Artificial Intelligence --  overview Since the invention of computers or machines, their capability to perform various tasks went on growing exponentially. Humans have developed the power of computer systems in terms of their diverse working domains, their increasing speed, and reducing size with respect to time. A branch of Computer Science named  Artificial Intelligence pursues creating the computers or machines as intelligent as human beings. What is Artificial Intelligence? According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy, it is  “The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”. Artificial Intelligence is a way of  making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software think intelligently , in the similar manner the intelligent humans think. AI is accomplished by studying how human brain thinks, and how humans learn, decide, and work while ...

The Kinematics of Manipulators – Forward and Inverse In the kinematic design and analysis of manipulators, it is required to find the position and orientation of the end-effector for given values of joint parameters. Sometimes the position to be attained is given and possible values of joint parameters to attain that are to be found. In general, kinematics is the study of motion without any mention of the forces causing it. When any object moves, the parameters attached to it are its position, velocity and acceleration. Velocity and acceleration are derivatives of the position. Sometimes even higher derivatives of position are required to be calculated for the study of jerkiness and other irregularities in the motion. The structure of a manipulator is like a kinematic chain with the end-effector at the free end. It has rigid links connected by joints such that there can be relative motion. The joints can be rotary or revolute and sliding or prismatic. At th...

Kinematics of Manipulators: Velocity Analysis Finding the position and orientation of the links of a manipulator required for attaining a certain position and orientation of the end-effector is just not sufficient. We also want to know the corresponding variation of velocity of the links and joints with the motion of the end-effector. Velocity Analysis In addition to finding the end-effector position for given joint parameters and vice versa in forward and inverse kinematics, the kinematics of manipulators also includes the analysis of manipulators in motion. Not only the final position of the links and joints to attain the desired position of the end-effector, but also the velocity, and its variation, of the links and joints of the manipulators while attaining the final position is important for analysis. We discussed joint space and Cartesian space  in the previous article . To find the final position of an end-effector for given joint param...

Position and Orientation of the Objects in Robotic Automation   To study the mechanics of robotic manipulators comprehensively and then apply it for the mechanical synthesis of the manipulators, we will first look at the basic topics of mechanics involved in the mechanics of manipulators. Future articles will deal each of them in detail. Industrial Robots result in increased levels of automation in industrial processes. Robot use started in repetitive, simple tasks, and now they are also being used also in precision works. This transition happened because of the sophisticated synthesis of robots and inclusion of electronics and computer control. An industrial robot is designed such that it can be programmed to be used in different applications. The mechanics of the industrial robots and manipulators is not a new field of engineering in itself. It is actually a combination of different branches of engineering. The mechanics, static and dynamic analysis...

What are Industrial Robots? Robots are being extensively utilized in the automotive industry, and in the near future, their application, because of the quality and accuracy produced, will spread to many more industries, Selecting a Robot A large range of robots with different components, techniques, and means of operation have already been designed and manufactured. These are selected according to their utility and financial considerations. A futuristic robot, with modern sensors and appropriate software, can perform tasks efficiently, accurately, and quickly, but will be expensive. Thus, all the relevant factors must be considered while selecting robots for industrial applications, including the initial expenditure and the benefits to be achieved in using the robot. Use  Of Robots In Industry Robots are being beneficially utilized in a vast variety of industries, some of which are: Loading an...
