=Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems (HL Only)=




 * // Robotics //**
 * Input devices: for example, camera, sensors, microphones
 * Output devices: for example, claws, wheels, motors, relays, speakers
 * Robot, android, cyborg
 * Sensors: for example, heat, proximity, magnetism, light, humidity, pH


 * // Artificial intelligence //**
 * Artificial intelligence versus computational intelligence **James**
 * Man or machine: Turing test, CAPTCHA (completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart) **Daniel**
 * Capabilities and limitations: for example, learning to identify human emotions, evaluation of living things and machines (intuition, prior knowledge, judgement ) **Rusteen**
 * AI techniques: searching, pattern recognition, heuristics, machine learning **Finlay**
 * Fuzzy logic, set theory **Isaac**
 * Machine learning: can machines become independent? **Guy**
 * Natural language communication and translators **James**
 * Neural networks: similarity to biological systems **Mrs North**
 * Pattern recognition: OCR (optical character recognition), image analysis, speech recognition, speech synthesizers **Daniel**
 * Processing and storage requirements **Rusteen**


 * // Expert systems //**
 * Collection, creation and maintenance of knowledge base **Finlay**
 * Creation of inference engine, inference rule (“if–then” rules), chaining, suitable domains for expert systems **Guy**
 * Expert systems, knowledge base, knowledge engineer, expert system shells, inference engine, domain, common-sense knowledge **James**
 * Purpose of an algorithm within expert systems: for example, fault finding, product development **Daniel**


 * // Applications of robotics, artificial intelligence and expert systems //**
 * Embedded systems: for example, cell/mobile phones, GPS, washing machines
 * Internet search engines **Rusteen**
 * Smart systems: for example, used at home or in warfare, medicine, cars
 * Use of artificial intelligence (AI): for example, language translation, chess, voice recognition, modelling, games, predictive text, business intelligence systems **Finlay**
 * Use of expert systems: for example, medical diagnosis, fault diagnosis, flight simulators, fraud detection **Guy**
 * Use of robots: for example, in industry, health, warfare, airlines, space, underwater exploration
