1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000 [Thrun] So this finishes my short lecture on robotics. 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Obviously the field is much, much bigger than what I just showed you, 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000 but I gave you examples of the key elements. 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000 I gave you an example of perception using particle filters. 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000 I gave you an example of planning using MDPs and also A*. 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000 These are some of the key methods we've been applying to self-driving cars. 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000 There are many other methods. 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Most notably, there's also reinforcement learning 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000 that has recently received a lot of attention. 10 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000 But I don't have time to talk about those. 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000 I hope you are able to apply these methods yourself to pretty much any robotics problems 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000 that you might be working on. 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Robotics is really a fascinating area. 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000 There's a lot of things to learn-- 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000 way too much than I can offer in this single class. 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000 But what you should have noticed is there's a really strong interplay 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000 between artificial intelligence and the methods I showed you before 18 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000 and what we are doing, for example, to make cars drive themselves. 19 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Now, in the next class we'll talk about a topic that's equally important, 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000 which is natural language processing. 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000 So when you learned today a little bit about how to build self-driving cars, 22 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000 next lecture you might actually learn how to build the next Google 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000 when Peter Norvig tells you all about natural language processing. 24 00:01:15,000 --> 99:59:59,999 So please come and see us again when the next class comes up.
