need any human guidance, it is pre-programmed and does not give intelligence to a robot. Fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, hierarchical control, neural networks, etc. are some of the control techniques used for autonomous robots. Neural networks help a robot learn from its experience and environment and act specifically. Research in artificial intelligence is evolving, but for the time being, the robot does what it is set to do. Rich knowledge in computer science, mathematics, electrical…
Many advances in artificial intelligence, both practical and theoretical, have come about in response to such task-oriented approaches. The quest to build a better chess-playing computer, for example, has led to many advances in search techniques (e.g., [Anantharaman et al., 1990]). The autonomous land vehicle project at CMU [Thorpe, 1990] has resulted in not only a highway-cruising vehicle but also breakthroughs in vision, robotics, and neural networks. The quest to build autonomous…
portrayal of artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence systems are not out to replace humans and are not anywhere close to humans in their thinking abilities. Current artificial intelligence technology is best defined as decision making technology. Artificial intelligence is a developing technology that can improve human lives. Much of the artificial intelligence that has been developed so far is specialized for a specific situation but the ultimate development in the field of…
(PLY), periodic (PER) and rational quadratic (RQ) kernels. The three components (RBFxPLY, RBFxPER, and RBFxRQ) capture the long-term nonlinear trend, local periodicity, and short-term irregularities in the data, respectively. We also implemented a neural network trained with Bayesian regularization for the same prediction…
Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that affects nearly on in one thousand births a year (Rathus, 2011, p.51). This birth defect can cause many problems throughout a child’s development. Spina bifida can affect a person from the way they think to the way they walk. It is important to know how spina bifida affects development in order to better understand how to help those who have been diagnosed with the disorder. Spina bifida can be detrimental to a child’s cognitive abilities such as,…
In Nicholas Carr’s article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” he speaks of the effect recent technological advances and methods of portraying information has had on today’s society. The author opens by stating that the relatively recent creation of the internet has hampered the metal processes of everyday life. He uses examples he has faced in his own life due to the evolution of a high-tech culture. For example he says that he has realized his recent inability to sit for a long stretch of time and…
high amount of intelligence on both ends. Which would require robots and computers to become almost human like. Having a partnership with humans would require robots to be able to function without human help. Scientists used to fear the thought of artificial intelligence, but now they use it in their everyday lives (Levy 1598). Many may be frightened by the thought of working alongside robots, but some are seeing it as an opportunity to grow. Many people believe for a computer to grow to an…
Late at night when I’m lying in bed, I think deep into how the world actually works. Everyone seems so blind to the truth now that the media has taken control of people’s minds. It is very difficult to think on our own when there are other outlets giving false information and disbeliefs. The matrix is a machine that makes the mind of a human blind to what’s really around. I try to understand what is going on when it comes down to our society in the United States, how the human body functions,…
Frankenstein is a novel about the human nature of wanting to achieving immortality with the means of science. Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley and it has become a modern classic since it was first published in 1818. This particular novel is categorized under the genre of science fiction, and it deals with the dark side of human nature. It further reveals the fact that people are fascinated by the idea of creating life in order to be “God-like,” which often leads to failure. The story of…
