How does Artificial Intelligence Contribute to Robotic System Design?

Artificial intelligence is en route to changing all industries and the robotics industry is not an exception. Presently, the innovative combination of AI and robotics has created a number of futuristic possibilities, in all the industry domains. While most of us will agree that most robots will be humanoids in 10 years from now; in many environments, robots are designed to emulate a range of behaviors and physical abilities will reflect a best fit for those characteristics. An exception will likely be robots that provide medical or other care or companionship for humans, and perhaps service robots that are meant to establish a more personal and'humanized' relationship. Though related, some would argue that the correct term is machine vision or robot vision rather than computer vision, because "robots seeing" involves more than just computer algorithms; engineers and roboticists also have to account for camera hardware that allow robots to process physical data.
