Review of Expert System and Its Application in Robotics

A mechanical device or system, which can think and contemplate, observe, listen, walk, speak, and sense like a human, can be developed using a knowledge-based technique known as expert system. Expert system can be integrated with robotics to merge human intelligence with machines, so as to achieve smart work like that of humans by embedding features such as reasoning, knowledge/intelligence, and problem-solving capabilities. Methodologies implemented in expert systems have been surveyed in this paper along with the literature review related to the various applications of expert system in the field of robotics. This paper gives the literature reviews of articles with a keyword index and articles from different journals in order to explore the various applications of expert system. This paper also presents various types of expert system such as knowledge-based expert system rule and fuzzy-based expert system, characteristics and features of expert system and its advantages.
