Abstract
The next generation of robots will have a much higher level of intelligence. They will accept all types of information (sensor inputs), process it, make judgments on what should be done, generate appropriate output commands, and effect actions. To accomplish these functions, robots will require extensive information about their environment. They will also need a different type of programming logic, providing an intelligent, rather than a rote, response to new situations. Therefore, the next generation may be called intelligent robots. This chapter reviews the current status of a wide range of techniques that improve a robot’s intelligence level.
