内容介绍
  The last decade of the last millennium is characterized by what might be called the intelligent systems revolution, as a result of which, it is now possible to have man?–made systems that exhibit ability to reason, learn from experience and make rational decisions without human intervention. Prof. Zadeh has coined the word MIQ (machine intelligence quotient) to describe a measure of intelligence of man-made systems. In this perspective, an intelligent system can be defined as a system that has a high MIQ. In the presentation the state-of-art reached in intelligent systems is overviewed with examples and a perspective on the future is given. The reasons behind the slow pace of developments are discussed. The talk closes with a consideration of the possible research directions in mechatronics and robotics as driving forces behind intelligent systems.
