Intelligent Systems emulate the human ability to perceive, reason, make decisions, and act. They enable machines and devices to anticipate requirements and deal with environments that are complex, unknown, and unpredictable. The technologies include robotics, sensors, knowledge-based software, and the enabling human-machine interfaces.
Intelligent systems were first developed for use in traditional industries, such as manufacturing, mining, and forestry, to enable the automation of routine or dangerous tasks in an effort to improve productivity. Today, there are intelligent systems applications in virtually all sectors of the Canadian economy.
