Artificial IntelligenceArtificial Intelligence It is the science and engineering of making It is the science and engineering of making

intelligent machines, especially intelligent intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are not have to confine itself to methods that are

After WWII, a number of people independently started to workAfter WWII, a number of people independently started to workon intelligent machines. The English mathematician Alan Turingon intelligent machines. The English mathematician Alan Turingmay have been the first. He also may have been the first to may have been the first. He also may have been the first to decide that AI was best researched by programming computers decide that AI was best researched by programming computers rather than by building machines. rather than by building machines.

HistoryHistory of Real World Robots of Real World Robots One of the One of the first robotsfirst robots was the was the clepsydra or water clepsydra or water

clockclock,, which was made in 250 B.C. It was created by which was made in 250 B.C. It was created by Ctesibius of Alexandria,Ctesibius of Alexandria,a Greek Physicist and a Greek Physicist and Inventor.Other early robots (1940’s- 50’s)were Grey Walter’s Inventor.Other early robots (1940’s- 50’s)were Grey Walter’s “Elsie the tortoise”and the Johns Hopkins “beast”.“Elsie the tortoise”and the Johns Hopkins “beast”.

The General Electric Walking Truck was a large four legged The General Electric Walking Truck was a large four legged robo that could walk upto four miles a-hour.It was the first robo that could walk upto four miles a-hour.It was the first legged vehicle with a computer brain, developed by Ralph legged vehicle with a computer brain, developed by Ralph Moser at General Electric Corp.in the 1960’s. Moser at General Electric Corp.in the 1960’s.

The first modern industrial robots were probably the The first modern industrial robots were probably the “Unimates”,“Unimates”, created by George Devol and Joe Engleberger in created by George Devol and Joe Engleberger in the 1950’s and 60’s.the 1950’s and 60’s.

Thus the otherwise have an effect. Thus the ‘hands’ of a robot are often ‘hands’ of a robot are often referred to as end effectors, while referred to as end effectors, while the arm is referred to as a the arm is referred to as a manipulator. Most robot arms have manipulator.
