Autonomous Robots

Autonomous Robots

• Not all robots are build to follow direct commands. There are a number of robots which have been programmed to think for themselves--to an extent. This is a field called artificial intelligence (AI). For example, the flying robots on the video under Resources have been programmed to communicate with each other for the most efficient way to build a structure. An autonomous robot is set a task, and a lot of research goes into how these machines "think" about problems.
