Question

2. [10 marks] A problem with using expert systems to control robots is the Qualification Problem – trying to predict all of the things in the environment that can prevent the robot from successfully completing the task and developing actions the robot can execute in order to complete the task.

Consider farming robots. What are three external events that can cause the farming robots (either the planter or picker) to stop their task and what could we do to allow the robot to solve this problem without human intervention? The most interesting/innovative problems and solutions will receive the highest marks.

Explanation / Answer

I am a software engineer and son of a farmer, so I can say some words to this question:

1) Robots will fail when there was a heavy rain and flood in the farm, It has to be designed with capability to move in the farms even after the flood.

2) During rainy season the plants that are yet to be harvested will fall down due to heavy winds, so on that case the robots sensor will fail to meet the requirement. Its sensor and touchability has to improve in certain cases.

3) Normally the lanscapes are not perfect as we seen in the robot manufacturing laboratories, there will be ups, downs in the farms, so it has to have ability to withstand such cases. For this cases tolerance and stability of robot has to be increased.

4) In heavy rainy season there will not be power for weeks in the villages, in that cases proper backup has to be there.

5) There will be wells, borewells, ponds etc. in the village and farms , so the robot has to sense this things and avoid it being fall in it. sensitivity has to set at high level.

If the above solution is useful please rate it Or if you have any concerns please comment it.
