Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Researchers in artificial intelligence (AI) feel that their work has suffered because of ‘public discussion’ hype might be a better term in the 1960s and 1980s which adversely affected advances in the field unlike the situation for nanotechnology after the delivery did not live to expectations and the funding was dropped. Currently many researchers feel that the aim of mimicking the human ability to solve problems and achieve goals in the real world is neither likely nor desirable because a long series of conceptual breakthroughs is required.

The applications number fro weak AI is growing. AI related patents in US increased from 100 – 1700 from 1989 to 1999, with total 3900 patents mentioning related terms. Generally AI systems are embedded within larger systems applications can be found in speech recognition, video games, and data mining business sector. Leading to voice led internet access or recognition in security applications, full speech recognition, is anticipated relatively soon. However, to extract meaning ability from natural language recognition remains way off. The data of mining market uses software to extract general regularities from data online, patterns humans may not look for or dealing in particular with large volumes.

The field of robotics is linked closely to that of AI, although definitional issues abound. Giving AI motor capability seems reasonable definition but most people would not regard a cruise missile as a robot even though the control techniques and navigation draw heavily on robotic research.

Experts moved away from the idea of complete automation as it was neither desirable nor feasible after the hype from the 1960s rebounded on investment. Instead more practical applications have been found such as, in the sphere of the military where Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) are being developed with the hope of fielding them by 2008. Actually the funding for the AI is far more away compare to nanotechnology as it has no existing overview on the topic and information on the spending.
