machine to learn from its changing environment and to adapt to the new
circumstances is discussed. Although there are various machine intelligence
techniques to impart learning to machines, it is yet to have a universal one for
this purpose. Some applications of intelligent machines are highlighted, which
include unmanned aerial vehicles, underwater robots, space vehicles, and
humanoid robots, as well as other projects in realizing intelligent machines.
It is anticipated that intelligent machines will ultimately play a role, in one
way or another, in our daily activities, and make our life comfortable in future.
