Robotics and Automation 10, 20, 30

(a)	Research the evolving understanding of the concept of artificial intelligence.
(b)	Discuss how to identify whether a robotic or automated device is considered to have or display artificial intelligence.
(c)	Analyze how devices with artificial intelligence work differently than controlled or autonomous devices and robots.
(d)	Discuss the interrelationships between automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence, within the context of robotics and autonomous devices.
(e)	Examine the extent to which artificial intelligence can or cannot exceed or replace human ability in regards to certain tasks (e.g., game-playing computers, self-driving cars and personal assistants).
(f)	Examine current limitations of artificial intelligence (e.g., machine learning is based on human instructions and data sets, data sets can perpetuate bias, learning must be supervised).
(g)	Investigate the ways in which machine learning applications make use of different types of datasets (e.g., image data and facial recognition, text data and news article searches, physical data and astronomy).
(h)	Explore potential applications for machine learning and artificial intelligence in robotics and automation.
