Synthetic Ontology for Robots and Beyond

This book discusses the structure, form, and development of synthetic ontologies for human-created machines and systems. After establishing a general sense of how ontologies develop and function, the book explores their essential role in computer science, where synthetic ontologies are used to represent knowledge in a machine-readable form. This ontological paradigm allows developers and programmers to overcome existing deadlocks in contemporary computer science related to intelligent machinery and artificial intelligence (AI). The book walks readers through various forms of synthetic ontologies and their potential applications depending on purpose and domain. The process and implications of artificially constructing an ontology is also explained. This book is an essential reference for engineers and system designers seeking unprecedented solutions to increasing the capabilities of robots and intelligent machinery projects.
