| Annotation |
The direction of artificial intelligence which has the goal to develop intelligent systems that think rationally is based on first-order logic. Many different intelligent systems are based on first-order logic, too. The course deals with intelligent robots and intelligent robotic systems that are based on first-order logic, construction of knowledge base, inference rules, reasoning such as forward and backward chaining, and resolution, agent design and planning with focus to intelligent robots. Insight is given on higher-order logics and logics for multiagent systems to which systems consisting of several robots belong.. |

Goals and objectives of the course in terms of competences and skills |
The goal of the course is to give knowledge about intelligent robots and intelligent robotic systems which are based on first-order logic and higher-order logics, and to acquire skills for development of such components as knowledge base and inference mechanism. |
