Artificial Intelligence and Robotics / AI Mechatronics / Intelligent Machines is a professional and interdisciplinary forum for researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and practitioners engaged at the intersection of artificial intelligence and robotics. This group explores the integration of cognitive systems and autonomous behavior into electromechanical platforms, enabling next-generation intelligent machines capable of perception, reasoning, and adaptive control in dynamic environments.

The group emphasizes emerging developments in robotic perception, reinforcement learning, embodied AI, neuro-symbolic reasoning, swarm intelligence, human-robot interaction (HRI), soft robotics, and autonomous decision-making systems. It also serves as a collaborative space for discussion on agentic robotics frameworks, robot operating systems (ROS), multi-agent coordination, and AI-driven actuation across sectors such as manufacturing, space exploration, healthcare, defense, logistics, and consumer robotics.

Members are encouraged to share peer-reviewed research, real-world applications, hardware/software innovations, and ethical considerations around sentient machine development, regulatory policies, and long-term safety alignment. Startups, labs, and open-source contributors are especially welcome to contribute to the evolving landscape of intelligent robotic systems.
