Automating means handing a task to a system that carries it out with little human intervention. The articles in this area cover robotics and the milestones of computational intelligence, with attention to achievements, failures, limits, and debates that remain open.
Robotics combined centuries of automatons, control theory and digital electronics to produce industrial, mobile and exploration robots whose limits remain significant.
Computational intelligence is a research field more than seventy years old, marked by cycles of enthusiasm and reassessment, rival methods and debates that remain open.
Researchers gathered at Dartmouth popularize the term "artificial intelligence." Alan Turing had already published a paper on thinking machines in 1950.
