Each algorithm can usually be represented by a set of straightforward steps, and programmers often use visual flowcharts to show their thought processes for solving each individual step with code.

In the ocean sciences, robots provide views of the unexplored and can navigate environments not safely accessible to humans.

Counterintuitively, a car equipped with Horn's system would also use sensor ... his algorithm could stabilize it. Horn's proof accounts for several variables that govern real-life traffic flow ...

Shimmer has developed an algorithm to obtain mobility data from a Shimmer3 sensor (accel + gyro) placed on a shoe. This algorithm is based on state of the art wearable sensor/biomechanics research ...

To clear things up, I drew you this flowchart on the back of an envelope so you can work out whether something is using AI or not. This originally appeared in our AI newsletter The Algorithm.
