Glossary
Plain definitions of the terms our guides use: how people learn and remember, how robots sense and move, and how an AI helps on your computer.
- Computer use
- Computer use is when an AI looks at a screen and operates it like a person would, by moving a cursor, clicking and typing.
- Human in the loop
- Human in the loop means a person stays part of an automated process and approves certain steps before they happen.
- IMU
- An IMU, or inertial measurement unit, is a small sensor that measures acceleration and rotation to track how something moves and which way it faces.
- Inverse kinematics
- Inverse kinematics finds the joint angles that put a robot's hand, foot or tool at a chosen position, the reverse of forward kinematics.
- PID controller
- A PID controller is a feedback rule that adjusts an output using the present error, the accumulated past error and the rate the error is changing.
- Retrieval practice
- Retrieval practice is studying by trying to recall something from memory, instead of rereading it, which strengthens what you remember.
- SLAM
- SLAM, simultaneous localization and mapping, is how a robot builds a map of a place while working out where it is inside that map.
- Spaced repetition
- Spaced repetition is reviewing something at gradually longer gaps, just as you are about to forget it, so that it stays in memory.
