Abstract

Most robotics researchers now agree that Intelligent Robotics can be interpreted as the melding of perception, reasoning and action. The exact mix depends on the problem and the application area. This presentation deals, in tutorial style, with some of the issues, methodologies and instrumentation of intelligent robotics and illustrates these with many experimental case studies undertaken by the presenter within the Intelligent Robotics Research Centre at Monash University. A number of video clips will satisfy the usual robotics researchers' need to see something move.
