Is this really AI?[edit]

"Carol Stoker and NASA Ames robotics team explore marine life in Antarctica with an undersea robot Telepresence ROV operated from the ice near McMurdo Bay, Antarctica and remotely via satellite link from Moffett Field, California.[80]"

It seems to be about a remotely-operated ROV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:638:804:2090:C92E:BE27:BFF1:8E53 (talk) 13:02, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOVED THESE COMMENTS HERE[edit]

This page was moved from History of artificial intelligence on 26 July 07, and these comments clearly referred to this page (the timeline), so I moved them here. CharlesGillingham 08:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

linking dates[edit]

An editor recently deleted all the date links on this page. Personally, I always thought that date links are silly & wouldn't scale (so I don't mind!), but I just thought people interested in the page might want to weigh in on this change. Personally I'd say the page looks more professional now. But I want to make sure we are following the norms. --Jaibe 17:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup Tag - References[edit]

I added a cleanup tag for the chronologic history, surely we can find some references for these events. Bugone 00:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup Tag - References Again[edit]

More than half of the notes on this page reference a single author over two books. Can we get some diversity here? anon 02:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that one of these, {{Russell Norvig 2003}}, is the most popular academic AI textbook. I have used it throughout the articles on AI as a measure of relevance: if it's important enough to be in R&N, then it's important enough to be covered by Wikipedia. If it's not covered by R&N, then it is a little suspect. (Sometimes it's original research, or the viewpoint of one researcher or institution, and doesn't belong in the top-level articles.) This is why you see hundreds of references to R&N AI, History of AI, Philosophy of AI, Timeline of AI, etc. CharlesGillingham (talk) 16:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC) ---- 16:35, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DARPA Robotics Challenge did use artificial intelligence[edit]

74.197.180.241, DARPA Robotics Challenge did use artificial intelligence. The robots use task level autonomy. A human operator issued a command like open the door. The robot completed the task autonomously. The robot takes into account the sensing and motions involved in identifying a door handle, applying the right force, and appropriately maneuvering its limbs. Task level autonomy is the opposite of tele-operation, in which an operator gives a robot step-by-step commands in terms of what motions to take and specifically when and where to place its limbs. The robots demonstrate the ability to autonomously carry out simple commands such as “Clear the debris in front of you” or “Close the valve.” --Mschribr (talk) 04:38, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Timeline of artificial intelligence. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20071219095203/http://www.shef.ac.uk:80/marcoms/eview/articles58/robot.html to http://www.shef.ac.uk/marcoms/eview/articles58/robot.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Should we really use the source "McCorduck, Pamela (2004), Machines Who Think"?[edit]

The source, if the citation is to be believed, claims that the law of Moses says automatons aren't to be used. This is pretty obviously absurd, but it's listed in the timeline as fact. Aurelius 180 (talk) 20:59, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not absurd. Automatons were common in religious ceremonies in the mediterranean Hellenistic world of 200 BC- 0 and earlier. They were statues in the inner sanctums of temples which could do simple motions (like moving an arm), had light and sound effects, etc. They were used in the worship of many different deities -- Egyptian, Greek, Mesopotamian. The Mosaic code forbade idol-based worship of this kind. Idol worship became less common as Neo-platonism gained popularity in the first century CE, followed by Christianity, both of which emphasized metaphysical deities rather than physical idols. ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 01:13, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
