Introduction to AI and Robotics
In order to inculcate interest among the students in particular and public in general, the Innovation Hub (IH) of Regional Science Centre (RSC) Calicut organised a number of online educational programmes on various topics. One of them was ‘Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Robotics’
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a general term that implies the use of a computer to model and/or replicate intelligent behaviour. Research in AI focuses on the development and analysis of algorithms that learn and/or perform intelligent behaviour with minimal human intervention. These techniques have been and continue to be applied to a broad range of problems that arise in robotics, e-commerce, medical diagnosis, gaming, mathematics, and military planning and logistics, to name a few. Several research groups fall under the general umbrella of AI in the department, but are disciplines in their own right, including: robotics, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, computational biology, and e-commerce. Specifically, research is being conducted in estimation theory, mobility mechanisms, multi-agent negotiation, natural language interfaces, machine learning, active computer vision, probabilistic language models for use in spoken language interfaces, and the modelling and integration of visual, haptic, auditory and motor information.
In this online programme, efforts has been made to introduce this topic in a lucid and coherent way so that newcomers can gradually realise its importance and try their hands venturing in depth.
