IQ on the Rise with Intelligent Robot Software

Attention Star Wars fans: R2D2 may soon become a reality. Intelligent Robots are formatted with the intention of reproducing human senses. Just as humans see, hear, and touch, intelligent robot software allows robots to use their “senses” to gather information about their environment. The robots then use this data to make informed decisions for themselves.
