The Nature of Robots and AI

Robots are distinct from machines as they are programmable devices that can interact with their environment using sensors and make physical decisions based on the information they gather. While artificial intelligence (AI) focuses on decision-making within a digital realm, robots are equipped to perform tasks in the physical world, even if their intelligence is less advanced compared to some AI systems. The integration of AI with robotic capabilities is essential for developing machines that can leverage both computational prowess and physical adaptability. This interplay aims to enhance the functionality of robots by merging their physical capabilities with advanced problem-solving skills.
