A robot is an electro- mechanical device that can be programmed to perform manual tasks. Institute of America Intelligent robots includes some type of sensory aparatus that allows it to respond to changes in its environment. The sensory aparatus collects information that is interpreted and then used as input to the robot to respond to the environment and modify its behavior. Machine learning is the ability of a computer to learn from experience. It is essential in situations where the environment changes, standards of expertise changes and in situations where there is no case history or historical data of any kind and learning takes place as a task is performed.
Machine learning is very important in the area of knowledge acquisition.
Used in knowledge acquisition. Used in knowledge acquistion and in inferencing. Statistical methods Used in knowledge acquisition and problem solving. The goal of genetic algorithms is to develop systems that can demonstrate self-organization, adaptation and learning by experience through exposure to the environment. This is similar but simplied to the way in which biological systems learn.
