Is Artificial Intelligence part of Robotics? OR vice versa? Are these terms same or different?  These kind of questions pop up when you listen about AI and Robotics, but don't worry you will get answer of these question after reading this blog so stay tuned!

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are actually two different fields. However, people often get them mixed up. But before getting into the depth of their difference, let's first understand what these terms are:

Artificial Intelligence:

Artificial Intelligence, etymologically means creating an intelligence (i.e. learning, understanding, etc. ) artificially. Whereas, technically Artificial Intelligence is an approach to make a computer, a robot, or a product to think how smart human think.

Artificial Intelligence is one of the branch of computer science and engineering which deals with intelligent algorithm that are able to learn by themselves. It is a study of how human brain think, learn, decide and work, when it tries to solve problems. And finally this study outputs intelligent software systems. The aim of AI is to improve computer functions which are related to human knowledge, for example, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving.

There are some major applications of AI:

1. AI in Healthcare.

2. AI in Business.

3. AI in Education.

4. AI in Autonomous vehicles.

5. AI for Robotics.

6. AI in Gaming

 

 Robotics:

Robot is a machine, capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by computer. Robotics is an interdisciplinary sector of science and engineering dedicated to design, construction and use of mechanical robots.

Robotics is one of the field of engineering which deals with building, programming and operating robots which are either autonomous or semi-autonomous. In short Robotics develops machines that can substitute for humans and replicate human actions. Robots can be used in many situations and for lots of purposes like various industries or factories.

Let's see some application of Robotics:

1. Robotics in Industry.

2. Robotics in Military.

3. Robotics in Medicine.

4. Robotics in Space and Underwater Exploration.

5. Robotics in Entertainment.

 Difference Between Artificial Intelligence And Robotics:

We have understood basic definition of these terminologies so we can conclude that these two fields are completely different from each other.

                Robots needs to have physical form. Hence Robotics is a field which generally deals with machine having physical forms. Whereas an AI is a program so it doesn’t need to be physical.

                Artificial Intelligence is mostly a program to make machine intelligent. Whereas, a robot is a machine which may or may not require intelligence to perform specific tasks and has a physical form.

                The goal of Robotics is to reach out to places where human beings cannot reach i.e. to replace human being mechanically. Robotics aims to simplify lifestyle and increase work productivity. Whereas, goal of Artificial Intelligence is to think or take decisions like human being, so it is more likely to replace human being mentally.

                The scope of AI is vast it includes various things like gaming, health care, banking, robotics and many more, in short very small percentage of AI industry is there in Robotics while the rest of it is spread across online applications and electronic devices. Whereas, Robotics is everywhere in industry, military, etc.

From all these facts we can summarize as Artificial Intelligence is nothing but a brain which thinks logically and Robotics is body which perform task physically.

Artificially Intelligent Robot:

                  

The two different field Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are integrated to form a new field naming Artificially Intelligent Robots. In this field Artificial Intelligence play key role in making robot intelligent. In this field Robotics serve as constructing body of robot and AI is served constructing brain for that robot. Artificially Intelligent Robots replaces human mechanically as well as physically.

EXAMPLE: Well known example of Artificially Intelligent Robots is Sophia who is world's first                                robot citizen. Sophia is humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong based company                                   Hanson Robotics.

 

Summary:

                Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are two different fields and none of them is subset of each other. Artificial Intelligence is implemented some areas of robotics to build smart robot but it is restricted to that only.

    So Robotics is application of AI . Robotics can deal with electrical,mechanical,programming aspects whereas AI deals with only programming and it can play a role in robotics for its creation. Am i right??

      You're partially right about robotics and AI but robotics is not application of AI

Let's Get Into Machine Learning

     Hello and welcome back to the CosmoTechno - Dive Deep Into The Cosmos Of Technology! So get ready for diving deep into the cosmos of Machine Learning today. You might have been heard about this buzzword everywhere, but not really sure about what is it. Hold On! you don't have to worry about this as this blog will help you to get a valuable insight of Machine Learning. Before starting with any discussion let's have a look at the technical term of Machine Learning, Arthur Samuel says, "Machine Learning is field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed." If I rephrase the above definition it will be something like, feeding lots of experience to the machine so that it will come up with a strategy to solve a particular problem. Here experience is in the form of data which can be a text, images, videos, etc. On the basis of this data we provide there are four types of Machine Learning:        ...

Hello Deep Learning World!

Hello and welcome back to CosmoTechno! As blog title suggest, today you would be going to get a significant intuition of Deep Learning. In this blog you will be understanding how to perform Hello World project in Deep Learning. Recognizing Handwritten Digits is one of the most famous as well as beginner friendly project of Deep Learning. If your completely newbie or you are not familiar with basic concept of Deep Learning then I will recommend  you to read the previous blog on deep learning. In this blog I am going to perform Handwritten digit recognition using Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) which we will implement with the help of Tensorflow, Keras libraries. Before getting into hands on coding part we will try to understand how CNN works. CNN is a one of the significant Neural Network which is commonly used in Deep Learning. In image recognition or classification task CNN divide each image into very small boxes and try to get some meaningful patterns from the same and store ...
