Write Short Note On The Following: - A. Robotics: What Are Robots?

Write short note on the following: a.
Robotics
Robotics is a domain in artificial intelligence that deals with the study of creating
intelligent and efficient robots.
What are Robots?
Robots are the artificial agents acting in real world environment.
Objective
Robots are aimed at manipulating the objects by perceiving, picking, moving,
modifying the physical properties of object, destroying it, or to have an effect
thereby freeing manpower from doing repetitive functions without getting bored,
distracted, or exhausted.
What is Robotics?
Robotics is a branch of AI, which is composed of Electrical Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science for designing, construction, and
application of robots.
Aspects of Robotics
The robots have mechanical construction, form, or shape designed to
accomplish a particular task.
They
have electrical components which power and control the
machinery.
They contain some level of computer program that determines what,
when and how a robot does something.
Difference in Robot System and Other AI Program
AI Programs
Robots
They usually operate in computer- They operate in real physical world

stimulated worlds.
The input to an AI program is in Inputs to robots is analog signal in
symbols and rules.
the form of speech waveform or
images
They
need
general
computers to operate on.
b.
purpose They need special hardware with

sensors and effectors.
Expert system
Expert systems (ES) are one of the prominent research domains of AI. It is
introduced by the researchers at Stanford University, Computer Science
Department.
What are Expert Systems?
The expert systems are the computer applications developed to solve complex
problems in a particular domain, at the level of extra-ordinary human intelligence
and expertise.
Characteristics of Expert Systems
High performance
Understandable
Reliable
Highly responsive
Capabilities of Expert Systems
The expert systems are capable of
Advising
Instructing and assisting human in decision making
Demonstrating
Deriving a solution
Diagnosing
Explaining
Interpreting input
Predicting results
Justifying the conclusion
Suggesting alternative options to a problem
They are incapable of
Substituting human decision makers
Possessing human capabilities
Producing accurate output for inadequate knowledge base
Refining their own knowledge
Components of Expert Systems
The components of ES include
Knowledge Base
Interface Engine
User Interface
c.
Natural Language Processing
Natural Language Processing (NLP) refers to AI method of communicating

with an intelligent systems using a natural language such as English. Processing
of Natural Language is required when you want an intelligent system like robot to
perform as per your instructions, when you want to hear decision from a dialogue
based clinical expert system, etc.
The field of NLP involves making computers to perform useful tasks with the
natural languages humans use. The input and output of an NLP system can be
Speech
Written Text
Components of NLP
There are two components of NLP as given
Natural Language Understanding (NLU): Understanding involves the
following tasks
Mapping the given input in natural language into useful
representations.
Analyzing different aspects of the language.
Natural Language Generation (NLG): It is the process of producing
meaningful phrases and sentences in the form of natural language from
some internal representation. It involves
Text planning It includes retrieving the relevant content from

knowledge base.
Sentence planning It includes choosing required words,
forming meaningful phrases, setting tone of the sentence.
Text Realization It is mapping sentence plan into sentence
structure.
NLP Terminology
Phonology It is study of organizing sound systematically.
Morphology It is a study of construction of words from primitive
meaningful units.
Morpheme It is primitive unit of meaning in a language.
Syntax It refers to arranging words to make a sentence. It also involves
determining the structural role of words in the sentence and in phrases.
Semantics It is concerned with the meaning of words and how to combine
words into meaningful phrases and sentences.
Pragmatics It deals with using and understanding sentences in different
situations and how the interpretation of the sentence is affected.
Discourse It deals with how the immediately preceding sentence can
affect the interpretation of the next sentence.
World Knowledge It includes the general knowledge about the world.
d.
Vision of Speech Processing
Speech recognition (SR) is the inter-disciplinary sub-field of computational

linguistics which incorporates knowledge and research in the linguistics to
develop methodologies and technologies that enables the recognition and
translation of spoken language into text by computers and computerized devices
such as those categorized as smart technologies and robotics.
Some SR systems use "training" where an individual speaker reads text or
isolated vocabulary into the system. The system analyzes the person's specific
voice and uses it to fine-tune the recognition of that person's speech, resulting in
increased accuracy.
Speech recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice
dialing (e.g. "Call home"), call routing (e.g. "I would like to make a collect call"),
domotic appliance control, search (e.g. find a podcast where particular words
were spoken), simple data entry (e.g., entering a credit card number), preparation
of structured documents (e.g. a radiology report), speech-to-text processing (e.g.,

word processors or emails), and aircraft (usually termed Direct Voice Input).
Steps in Speech Processing
There are general five steps
Lexical Analysis It involves identifying and analyzing the structure of

words. Lexicon of a language means the collection of words and phrases in
a language. Lexical analysis is dividing the whole chunk of txt into
paragraphs, sentences, and words.
Syntactic Analysis (Parsing) It involves analysis of words in the

sentence for grammar and arranging words in a manner that shows the
relationship among the words. The sentence such as The school goes to
boy is rejected by English syntactic analyzer.
Semantic Analysis It draws the exact
meaning or the dictionary meaning from the
text. The text is checked for meaningfulness. It
is
done by mapping syntactic structures and
objects in the task domain. The semantic
analyzer disregards sentence such as hot icecream.
Discourse Integration The meaning of any
sentence depends upon the meaning of the
sentence just before it. In addition, it also brings
about the meaning of immediately succeeding
sentence.
Pragmatic Analysis During this, what was
said is re-interpreted on what it actually meant.
It
involves deriving those aspects of language which require real world
knowledge.
