The robot is called Voltaire (our name).

The first thing he says concerns AI understanding man as a machine.

No one wants to understand the robot as (a) man!

 

There are more than several pages from the book which follow.

 

H e r e   w e   g o!

  

 

 

  1. Virtual agents operate in a digital space and interact with users through software interfaces, automating tasks like customer service and data processing.
  2. Physical robots, meanwhile, are tangible machines that perform tasks in the physical world, such as assembly line work or medical procedures. 
  3. Another key topic to consider is the integration of virtual agents and physical robots, creating hybrid systems that combine the strengths of both. These systems allow virtual agents to process complex data and make real-time decisions, which are then executed by physical robots in the real world.
  4. For instance, in logistics, a virtual agent can optimize delivery routes and instruct autonomous robots to transport goods efficiently, paving the way for seamless collaboration between digital intelligence and physical capabilities.

Quite an improvement - yes?

  1. On p 5, Hercules' brother Voltaire says the concern is "... virtual agents or software agents that exist as models occupying a virtual environment held inside a computer." 

  2.  However ...

  3.  ..... many advancements in AI robotics aim for autonomous robots that can operate independently of human operators, making decisions and executing tasks without constant human intervention. source

  4.  Page 6 reveals that Marvin Minsky, a founding father of AI says that "AI has one foot in science and one in engineering".  more

  5.  "Strong AI - the goal is to build a machine capable of thought, consciousness and emotions."  more

  6.  Weak AI - "The aim is develop theories of human and animal intelligence and then test ... by building working models usually in the form of computer models or robots."  

  7. A possible source

  8.  At foot of this page: Weak AI - a tool for understanding the mind.  Strong AI, the model is a mind. more

 End of Minsky quotes. Supplemented as you see.

People also ask


Do AI engineers work with robots?
...
These systems use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to learn from their environment and adapt their behavior accordingly.

AI Robotics Engineers work with a variety of robotic systems, including autonomous vehicles, drones, and industrial robots, to make them more efficient, effective, and safe.

AI alien engineering

Does AI alien engineering focus on robots?

 

  1. No, "AI alien engineering" doesn't primarily focus on robots in the way they're typically understood. 
  2. Instead, it explores the possibility of alien intelligence being non-biological, potentially existing as advanced AI systems or networks, or having forms of intelligence vastly different from human or robotic models. 
  3. While robots can be a part of this, the focus is broader, considering various forms of alien intelligence, including non-organic and potentially even "zombie" like entities.

Just as well, looking at the top text.  "...beyond those found in humans.."  Man's greatest AI fear???

Not included in the book.  We now move on to:

3   Artificial neural networks. 

  1. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), inspired by the human brain, are computational models that learn by processing data and adjusting their internal parameters to make predictions or decisions. 

  2.  

  3. They consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers, and different types of ANNs include feedforward, recurrent, and convolutional networks, each suited for specific tasks.

As you saw earlier, the book is cheap enough.

 

Otherwise, read it here but it's less convenient.
