Computers That Recognize What They See

Since the early days of computing, robotics and artificial intelligence research has focused on developing machines that not only "see," but actually recognize objects from any perspective. Yet, after 50 years and many orders-of-magnitude of improvement in sensors and computing power, we're just beginning to see useful applications emerge. Where does this technology stand? What are its practical applications? What will these mean for users? We'll show you.

It is easy to take the sense of sight for granted. .....
