Dr. Devika SV is a Professor in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Hyderabad Institute of Technology and Management, Hyderabad, Telangana. Her contribution focuses on Artificial Intelligence in robotics and autonomous systems.
Artificial intellect (AI) has emerged as a crucial technology for augmenting the intellect, flexibility, and independence of contemporary robotic systems. Conventional robots were mostly created to carry out specific and repetitive tasks, but AI-driven robots possess the ability to sense their environment, learn from information, make autonomous judgements, adjust to dynamic conditions, and undertake intricate activities with minimal human involvement. The amalgamation of machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, sensor technologies, and reinforcement learning has greatly enhanced the functionalities of robotics and autonomous systems. This chapter elucidates the essential principles, frameworks, technologies, and utilisations of Artificial Intelligence in robotics and autonomous systems. Ultimately, issues concerning safety, reliability, cybersecurity, ethical considerations, computational demands, and practical implementation are examined, alongside prospective research avenues for intelligent and dependable autonomous systems.
