Definition:“Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with intelligent behavior, learning, and adaptation in machines” (Wikipedia)

Robotics” is the science and technology of Robots, their design, manufacture, and application.

The Honda Humanoid

Mark Tilden's BEAM robots look and act like big bugs.

Tilden builds simple robots out of discrete components.

Started in the early 1990s, the idea was to create inexpensive, solar-powered robots ideal for dangerous missions such as landmine detection.

Robot Familiarity with Humans

"AI can have two purposes. One is to use the power of computers to augment human thinking, just as we use motors to augment human or horse power. Robotics and expert systems are major branches of that. The other is to use a computer's artificial intelligence to understand how humans think. In a humanoid way. If you test your programs not merely by what they can accomplish, but how they accomplish it, they you're really doing cognitive science; you're using AI to understand the human mind."
