Robots: The Future of Artificial Intelligence  
     



 
The latest episode of the Robots podcast interviews Kristinn R. Thórisson from Reykjavik
University on some of the great advances, but also some of the
disappointments of artificial intelligence, and where he thinks AI will
be used in the future. In the second part of this interview, we conclude
our quest for a definition of the word "robot" with a definition by Prof. Wendelin Reich
from the Swedish Collegium for
Advanced Study at Uppsala University, Sweden. He defines a
robot as an artificial, physically embodied ‘agent tool’ - and
gives some good
reasons for this definition. For details as well as a list of other
definitions have a look at the Robots
website.
