The Future of Robotics:
An Artificial Intelligence Perspective
Prof. Wolfram Burgard
Department of Computer Science
University of Freiburg
Freiburg, Germany
Over the past years, the robotics community has steadily grown; an impressive number of systems, techniques, and applications have been developed. In this presentation, the broad vision of robotics will be first introduced, then, the principles and basis of several problems and example solutions in the development of autonomous robots will be given. Potential innovations that can be expected in the near future in this area will also be outlined. Several aspects of outstanding problems which make the development of truly autonomous robots challenging will be discussed, and key technologies that can have significant influence on the field of robotics will be highlighted.
