Is not 'natural' / has
been artificially created.
Is programmable.
Can move with one or
more axes of rotation
or translation.
A brain system.
Defining parameters
Number of axes

Power source
Drive
Three Laws of
Robotics
1. A robot may not injure a human
being or, through inaction,
allow a human being to come to
harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given
it by human beings except
where such orders would
conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own
existence as long as such
protection does not conflict

Conventional AI
Computational intelligence (CI)
Conventional AI
Expert systems.
Case based reasoning.
Bayesian networks.
Behavior based AI.
Computational
intelligence
Learning is based on empirical data
and is associated with non-symbolic
AI, scruffy AI and soft computing.
Methods mainly include:
Neural networks.
Fuzzy systems.
Evolutionary computation.
