The Conference on Artificial Intelligence marks its silver anniversary next year. AI got separated from robotics because the machines are a pain: physical and unreliable. Today, robotics researchers have computers that are faster, machinery that is more reliable. Many algorithms used in routine robotic tasks have already been built, said MIT professor Leslie Kaelbling. A Brown University researcher hopes to create crowdsourcing environment for to test algorithms over the Web on robots in the lab. “Robotics is at a point right now where it is still very preliminary,” she said.”]
