AI Reasoning, Decision Making and Planning in Humanoid Robots -

We covered learning in AI in this post. After learning is complete, there is the reasoning, decision making and planning stage. In short, after an AI model extracts information from data and learns, it applies this knowledge for reasoning. Then it decides a course of action, which is the decision making part. And finally, it plans the consecutive actions, which is the planning part. Now lets explain each a little bit more: We can classify reasoning into three categories: Symbolic Reasoning Probabilistic Reasoning Neural or Learned Reasoning Let’s explain each a little more: Symbolic reasoning, which is also called as Logic-Based or Rule-based reasoning, is the oldest method. It operates […] Read More

Sensors and Sensor Data Analysis in Humanoid Robots -

Similar to why humans have senses, a humanoid robot has sensors to be able to obtain data from its environment. This data must be processed effectively which should run in coordination with the main control system of the robot. Let’s first take a look at typical sensor types that are used in a humanoid robot. Sensor Types in a Humanoid Robot Force sensors: Measuring force is essential during maintaining balance, gripping, walking, reacting to external forces and adjusting its own action. For safety around humans, it is also crucial to be able to measure the force after collisions or unexpected contact, and either stopping or changing movement of joints. Just […] Read More
