30.13. Autonomous Robots and AI-based Control Systems

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is perception in autonomous robots?

   Hint

   Think about the sensors used by robots.

2. 2.

   Name one function of decision-making in autonomous robots.

   Hint

   Consider how robots choose paths or actions.

3. 3.

   What is the primary purpose of perception in autonomous robots?

   • To control mechanics
   • To sense the environment
   • To prioritize tasks

   Hint

   Remember, sensors play a key role in how robots 'see' the world.

4. 4.

   True or False: Reinforcement learning is used by robots to learn from experiences.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about learning from mistakes.

5. 5.

   Design an autonomous robot for a specified construction task. Describe how its perception, decision-making, actuation, and learning components would work together.

   Hint

   Consider each component's role in achieving the task efficiently.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the effectiveness of using reinforcement learning in construction robots. Discuss benefits and potential challenges.

   Hint

   Reflect on both sides: improvements in adaptability versus challenges in data requirements.
