Nizich Shares Insight on AI and Robotics
“By incorporating robotic solutions with AI, or more specifically machine learning algorithms, we enable them to learn as they perform repetitive actions and to make decisions about their next process autonomously and in real-time,” says Michael Nizich, Ph.D., ETIC director and adjunct associate professor of computer science, in a Lifewire.com article about how AI is making robots smarter and enabling them to make decisions.
Nizich noted that advances in AI, like object recognition and natural language processing (NLP), enable robots to quickly identify objects and their relevance to their assigned tasks. NLP advancements empower robots to have better-spoken interactions with their human counterparts. “The true acceptance of robots by humans will rely on true two-way communication between humans and their robotic assistants, which may be the only way that trust will ever be established in the systems by humans,” he added.
