  5. Artificial Intelligence • Make computers display “intelligent behavior” 1997: IBM “Deep Blue” beats Gary Kasparov

  6. More Artificial Intelligence FLORIDA -- El gobierno del presidente Barack Obama dará impulso a una red eléctrica "inteligente" futurista, con la esperanza de llevar lo más pronto posible al sistema de transmisión de energía hacia la era digital. El presidente Obama anunciará el martes durante una visita a una planta de energía solar en Arcadia, Florida, que el gobierno dará apoyo con 3.400 millones de dólares a un centenar de proyectos destinados a modernizar el sistema de electricidad de Estados Unidos. FLORIDA - The government of President Barack Obama will give impetus to a power grid "smart" futuristic, hoping to take as soon as possible to the power transmission system into the digital age.  President Obama will announce on Tuesday during a visit to a solar power plant in Arcadia, Florida, that the government will support with 3,400 million dollars to a hundred projects to modernize the electricity system of the United States. • Run through Google translation program

  7. Why is Computer Vision Hard? • What do we see in this image? • How do we know this? • We rely on “real-world knowledge”

  8. What is a Robot? • Machines that sense, think, and act
