AI-powered decision making in 'Robotic Solutions'

Artificial Intelligence (AI) based decision making enables robotic solutions to perform intellectual tasks. In robotics, AI solves many complex problems which are otherwise difficult to solve. In this article, some of the robotic solutions developed at BARC, wherein AI powered decision making had been used, are described. AGV based material transfer system is one of the instances, where AI-powered decision-making has been applied to enable autonomous operation. Drone based system, developed for land survey and research in nuclear agriculture, uses AI to build models that provide crucial information for decision making. Perception is a challenge in self-driving robots. Deep Learning based data driven AI approach has been used to build perception system with sensor packs containing LiDAR, monocular camera and stereo camera. (author)
