In addition to artificial intelligence (AI), there are several related fields worth knowing. These include machine learning, data science, and deep learning.

Machine learning is a subset of AI, which itself is a branch of computer science. It provides the capability for AI systems to adapt and improve over time. A concise definition might describe it as enabling adaptive solutions through experience and data.

Machine learning

Systems that improve their performance in a given task with more and more experience or data.

Deep learning is a more specialized subset of machine learning, which falls under AI and, ultimately, computer science.

Data science is a broader, interdisciplinary field that encompasses machine learning, statistics, and aspects of computer science such as algorithms, data storage, and web application development.

Robotics involves designing and programming robots to function effectively in complex, real-world environments.

What is a robot?

A robot is a programmable machine equipped with sensors (to perceive its surroundings) and actuators (to interact with the environment), enabling it to perform specific tasks.

Additionally, any autonomous vehicles or machines that incorporate sensors and actuators can also be considered part of the robotics domain.
