Course Introduction：

Strong artificial intelligence has long been an ideal that people have pursued with great dedication. Intelligent robots are the physical embodiment of this ideal, appearing in various forms across numerous works of science fiction literature and films. These intelligent robots can understand human language, listen to the thoughts of humans, look into people's eyes, and recognize the surrounding environment. They can feel, react, think, and even gain experience and undergo growth through learning. Emotional capabilities are crucial for intelligent robots. Without the ability to understand and express emotions, it would be difficult for intelligent robots to interact naturally with humans, let alone proactively recognize negative human emotions and respond in a positive way. This course focuses on emotionally capable intelligent robots, presenting the development, types, and foundational concepts of robots. It covers relevant knowledge in environmental perception, mobility, and manipulation, while also discussing the software system architecture of intelligent robots. The course introduces affective intelligent robots, explores models for robots to recognize human emotions, and finally delves into the ethical issues surrounding robotics.
