Speaker: Dr. Richard Vaughan, School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University Unlike disembodied AI programs, robots are embedded in the same physical world as humans and other animals. Like animals, they must act appropriately – we say “with intelligence” – to achieve their goals.The real world presents problems of uncertainty and the danger of running out of energy. Yet the world presents resources that can help the robot, such as other agents. This talk discusses robot systems that sense and exploit regularities in the behaviour of other robots and animals to obtain energy and work. NOTE: due to the size and complexity of delivering cross-country seminars, we regret we cannot support desktop AG connections for the Coast-to-Coast seminars If you are planning to attend this seminar, ensure you have registered using the link provided at the top of this announcement. AG rooms will only be opened for these seminars where someone has indicated they plan to attend, and it is critical that we be aware of significant attendees in case a larger room needs to be booked. |
