Week 2 – Things that think Flashcards
this is a rule that has been executed or used
describe a
fired rule
name the subsytems required for a
think-sense-act model robot
a robot of this model requires:
- perception subsytem
- cognition subsystem
- actuation subsystem
give two observations of
Valentino Braitenberg light seeking machine
two observations for this machine are:
- there is no programming such as if and else it s simply hard-wired and appears to show a specific behaviour
- The behaviour is spawned from how the sensors are connected to the actuators
who is
John Searle
an american philosipher who created concepts such as
- the chinese room
- strong A.I vs Weak A.I
the structure of this is:
- Condition/antecedent - a fact that may or may not be true
- Consequent - a fact that is true if the antecedent was true
example
Condition/antecedent - if my dog is eating her dinner is true
Consequent - then my dog is wagging her tail is true
describe the structure of a
rule
describe the
sense-act model
this model describes how an action is carried out only through sensory information
- robots - will act depending on what its sensors are detecting
- humans - will act/react according to what their senses tell them
important note
no processing or thinking is required it is an action carried out only through what the senses are reading
strategies to overcome this are:
- A rule can be given a higher priority
- The order in which instructions are written
- Which rues have not recently fired
name 3 methods that a robot can take to
resolve conflict in rules
describe
Learnt reactive behaviour
this is behaviour that has been learnt and is now an automatic reflex
it can be said that this fits the sense-act model
example
proper use of brakes and what action to take when a dangerous situation arises whilst driving
describe the
input layer of an artificial neural network
this layer of an artificial neural network receives data, such as readings from a sensor
the first robots programmed by Grey walter between 1948 and 1949 that were capable of perception and actuation and so fit the sense-act model
who are
elmer and elsie
this problem solving method can be described as:
using a fact solely because it remains working for the specific problem
in the context of problem solving desribe
conforming to habit
these include:
- Mechanical assembly - this includes everything that holds the robot together
- Power subsystem - this includes anything that is the source of the robots power
- Sensory subsystem - this includes any sensors that supply the robot with input
- Mobility/actuation subsystem - includes anything that allows the robot to move or cary out any orther useful tasks
- Control subsystem - anything that allows the robot to think receiving input from the sensory subsystem and providing input to the mobility/actuation subsystem
name the 5 major
parts that make up a robots architecture
this type of A.I would have human like intelligence and would have emotions and conciousness.
This is on the assumption that there is nothing mystical about human intelligence and that we really are simply a biological computer
describe
strong A.I
describe the structure of a
rule
the structure of this is:
- Condition/antecedent - a fact that may or may not be true
- Consequent - a fact that is true if the antecedent was true
example
Condition/antecedent - if my dog is eating her dinner is true
Consequent - then my dog is wagging her tail is true
this layer of an artificial neural network receives data from the input layer or other hidden layers.
Its job is to compute the data received
the more layers and artificial neurons in these can increase the neural networks performance
describe the
hidden layer of an artificial neural network
the layers for this include:
- input layer
- hidden layer
- output layer
what are the 3
layers of an artificial neural network
in the context of problem solving desribe
conforming to habit
this problem solving method can be described as:
using a fact solely because it remains working for the specific problem
this can be described as:
a machine that can learn by using previous data / data structures
example
learning what music someone likes by recognising what other people like and applying that knowledge to the individual
describe
machine learning
the cognition subsystem is often referred to as this
this is a problem solver that will take into account any information it has before deciding what action should be taken and subsequently which actuators should be used.
Information will be held in memory and could be new from sensors or existing from past data
describe the
Information processing system of a robot
these robots worked so that the light sesor and front wheel would turn and upon the light sensor detcting light it would turn its wheels towards that light source.
However if the light became to bright it would become dazzled and move away from the light
for the touch sensor if a touch was detected then it would move away from the touch
how did
grey walters robots elmer and elsie actually work
this problem solving method can be described as:
where there is information available that will help in achieving the goal then the logical decision is to take/use this fact
in the context of problem solving desribe
logical deduction
in the context of neural nets describe
generalisation
this is a term to describes how neural nets (once trained) can give a correct output for data they have not seen before.
This is in contrast to a rule based system that would struggle with this situation
read the relationship between
alan turings turning test / imitation game
and
john searles chinese room
this would appear to have human intelligence however would only ever be an illusion and would be acting from instructions instead of authentic understanding
describe
weak A.I

this american philosipher proposed:
- strong ai
- weak ai
what are the
two types of A.I that were suggested by john searle
describe
Valentino Braitenberg light avoider vehicle
this machine is a simple design that implements the sense-act model and conveys behaviour
It works by having two light sensors each connected to a wheel each. The stronger the light reading the faster its wheel will turn and so it will turn away from the light. Similarly switching the cables will create a light seeking robot
this is a rule that could have been executed/fired but did not because of a circumstance such as another rule taking priority
describe a
triggered rule
in the context of facts describe a
phrase
in the context of facts this can be described as a collection of words
in the context of problem solving desribe
logical deduction
this problem solving method can be described as:
where there is information available that will help in achieving the goal then the logical decision is to take/use this fact
these include:
- Natural selection (genetic algorithm) - where a successful behaviour is passed on to the next generation
- Artificial neural networks - a way of training robots and mimics the connectivity found in animal brains
- Reinforcement learning - teaching by giving a reward when correct this reinforces the correct behaviour
