How do I define AI?

AI is the simulation of human intelligence in machines.

Three subfields of AI

• Natural Language Processing
• Computer Vision
• Machine learning

Why is AI booming only now if its 70 years old?

AI requires alot of computing power and computers 70 years ago weren't powerful enough to run complex algorithms that we have now.

Three sectors where robots are employed

• Car manufacturing - High precision and can perform repititive tasks non-stop
• Agriculture - Reduce the workforce and can work more efficiently
• Military - Can go into high-risk zones without endangering your own life

Can you identify three major challenges for a wheeled autonomous robot performing a 24h surveillance task in a large facility?

• Obstructions, especially dynamic ones such as people
• Battery life
• Surveillance could be duped
