In this chapter, an introduction to intelligent machine is presented. An explanation on intelligent behavior, and the difference between intelligent and repetitive natural or programmed behavior is provided. Some learning techniques in the field of Artificial Intelligence in constructing intelligent machines are then discussed. In addition, applications of intelligent machines to a number of areas including aerial navigation, ocean and space exploration, and humanoid robots are presented.
