Advanced Robotics: Artificial Intelligence VSI

Artificial intelligence has been rapidly gaining attention for this decade. In the current trends, artificial intelligence mainly means machine learning techniques including neural networks, i.e., deep learning, and probabilistic generative models, i.e., Bayesian models. Robotics is clearly the representative of the targets of the application of artificial intelligence. Robots need to deal with uncertainty in the real world and learn knowledge from the daily environment including human users. Machine learning methods enable robots adapt to the real-world environment by dealing with uncertainty in a statistical manner.
