Using educational robotics to motivate complete AI solutions.(artificial intelligence )

From: AI Magazine | Date: March 22, 2006| Author: | Copyright information

Robotics is a remarkable domain that may be successfully employed in the classroom both to motivate students to tackle hard AI topics and to provide students experience applying AI representations and algorithms to real-world problems. This article uses two example robotics problems to illustrate these themes. We show how the robot obstacle-detection problem can motivate learning neural networks and Bayesian networks. We also show how the robot-localization problem can motivate learning how to build complete solutions based on particle filtering. Since these lessons can be replicated on ...
