Artificial intelligence (AI) robots can learn from their experiences, make decisions
in real time, understand natural language and human gestures, and utilize computer
vision to perceive and comprehend their environments. Beginning with the rudimen‑
tary concepts of AI, AI Robotics: Ethics, Algorithms, and Technology of Artificial
Intelligence‑Powered Robots explores the intersection of robotics and physics and
emphasizes the need for strict adherence to ethical principles in relation to overall
progress and the development of humankind. Chapters on robots capable of talking,
listening, and visual perception similar to human beings are followed by discussions
of those that display emotional intelligence. This book also discusses task and motion
planning, a set of methods that help robot hardware achieve high‑level goals by break‑
ing down tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. Lastly, the text describes auton‑
omous robots that can make independent decisions and execute tasks on their own,
utilizing sensors and AI‑enabled software programmed with predefined guidelines
and data. Examples of autonomous robots are presented in a chapter on robot swarms
that operate in a decentralized, self‑organizing manner through local communication
to manage disaster relief, search‑and‑rescue operations, warehouse logistics, agricul‑
tural practices, and environmental exploration. Offering an up‑to‑date, expansive,
and comprehensive treatment of the vast interdisciplinary field of AI robotics, this
book will be an invaluable resource for postgraduate and doctorate students as well
as academic researchers and professional engineers working on AI‑enabled robotics.
Key Features
• Explores the research frontiers and advancements leveraged by integrating
AI with robotics
• Highlights the unique challenges faced in robot vision and speech recogni‑
tion vis‑à‑vis computer vision and standard speech processing
• Provides a state‑of‑the‑art overview of emotional recognition, task and motion
planning, and coordinated functioning of robots in multi‑robot systems
Vinod Kumar Khanna, PhD (Physics), is an independent researcher from
Chandigarh, India. He is a retired chief scientist from the Council of Scientific and
Industrial Research (CSIR)—Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute
(CEERI), Pilani, India and a retired professor from the Academy of Scientific and
Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, India. He is a former emeritus scientist,
CSIR, and professor emeritus, AcSIR, India. His broad areas of research include
the design, fabrication, and characterization of power semiconductor devices and
micro‑ and nano-sensors. Dr. Khanna has published 194 research papers in lead‑
ing peer‑reviewed national and international journals and conference proceedings.
He has authored 22 books and contributed six chapters to edited books. He has five
granted patents to his credit, including two US patents.
