mechanical devices that don't use the AI features discussed in this chapter. Others are
sophisticated systems that use one or more AI features or characteristics, such as vision sys-
tems, learning systems, or neural networks discussed later in the chapter. For many businesses,
robots are used to do the three Ds—dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs. Manufacturers use
people to recommend using robots instead of people to explore space and perform scientific
research. Some robots, such as the ER series by Intelitek (

can be used for
training or entertainment. Contemporary robotics combine both high-precision machine
