Artificial intelligence is defined as an effort to develop computer-based systems that can behave like humans, with ability to do human functions such as learn languages, perform physical tasks, use a perceptual apparatus, and exhibit human expertise and decision making ability. The types of systems that make up artificial intelligence are natural language, robotics, perceptive systems, expert systems, and Intelligence machines. There are many benefits in the business world for artificial intelligence that would benefit people at many different levels in a company.

One of the categories of Artificial Intelligence, robotics will make things for a business and also for people easier. A robot can be defined as a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator that is designed for moving material, parts, tools, and various devices through programmed motions to perform the variable tasks, and robotics is the study and use of these robots. One company that offers robotics is Gecko Systems, which designs robots for home and business use.

This site for Gecko Systems provides information on their available robots, one in particular being The CareBot Advanced Personal Computer robot. It is a robot designed to do small tasks that might not necessarily need a person to do. It can do vacuuming, errand and part running, detect fire and smoke, and alert of intruders. This kind of robot can be a useful replacement to do some of the menial tasks someone may not want to do or need to do. It can be a practical idea, although with a price tag of $2,295 it may be a little expensive for doing just these little tasks. The CareBot can also be a helpful item in the home to help with the elderly or childcare. With this development and those that should come in the future, the robotics industry may be one that grows within the near future, expanding the field of artificial intelligence greatly.
