The intelligent agent searches the Internet and the available databases for information and
compiles the result for you after filtering it based on your previous surfing history.
Pattern Recognition: This type of software uses a camera and software
that together identify repetitive patterns and establish connections
between the patterns stored in the database and the perceived patterns.
Facial recognition software, video surveillance cameras, fingerprint
identification and automatic voice recognition software are some
examples of pattern recognition software.
Robotics: Shakey was the first robot to use AI to navigate. It was
developed in Artificial Intelligence Center of the Stanford Research
Institute (SRI) from 1966 to 1972. There are so many robots that use AI
such as Rosie and Roscoe are used in hospital to supply medicines,
Robodoc performs hip implant surgeries, Roomba and Scooba can do
housework such as cleaning the floor, etc.
Intelligent Apps (I-Apps): Intelligent Apps are software written for mobile devices
based on artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, aimed at making
everyday tasks easier. This involves tasks like organising and prioritising emails,
scheduling meetings, logging interactions, content, etc. Some familiar examples of
I-Apps are chatGPT chatbots and virtual assistants.
AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY
Although the term Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are used together, there is a
distinct difference between the two.
AUGMENTED REALITY
Augmented Reality is the blending of virtual world and real life. AR uses technology to
superimpose information such as sounds, images and text on the real-world that we can see. The
virtual content is created by developers within applications and is designed to blend seamlessly
with the real-world content. AR users can interact with virtual content in the real-world and can
also distinguish between virtual and real content.
AR is not a new technology. It was first used in the display panels of
fighter aircraft in the 1990s. The panel displayed information about
the altitude, direction and speed of the aircraft. A few years later,
the panels were upgraded to display target objects.
In 2009, Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed
SixthSense. It is a small device worn like a pendant that combines
the use of a camera, small projector, smartphone and mirror.
