Agile: The ability to act quickly and change direction when necessary, with little skill and effort. The term is sometimes applied to sporting pursuits as well as to thinking and project management.
artificial intelligence: A type of knowledge-based decision-making exhibited by a machine or computer. The term can also refer to a field of study in which scientists try to create machines and computer software capable of intelligent behavior.
colleague: A person who works with another person, a colleague or team member.
data: Facts or statistics collected for analysis, but not necessarily organized in a meaningful way. In the case of digital information (the type stored in a computer), these data are usually numbers stored in binary code, represented as a string of 0s and 1s.
Digital: (in computer science and engineering) an adjective indicating that something has been developed numerically on a computer or other electronic device based on the binary system (where all numbers are represented using only a sequence of 0s and 1s).
dynamic: an adjective indicating that something is active, changing, or in motion. (noun) The extent of change or variation that can be seen or measured in something.
environment: The sum of everything that exists around some organism or process and the conditions that those things create. Environment can refer to the weather or ecosystem that some animal lives in, or the temperature and humidity (or the arrangement of things near the item of interest).
frictionFriction: The resistance that a surface or object experiences when moving over or through another substance (such as a liquid or gas). Friction generally causes heating and can damage the surface of one substance as it rubs against another.
Large-scale language models: (Computing) A language model is a type of machine learning that predicts upcoming words (in text or speech) and presents its predictions in words that almost anyone can understand. The model learns by reviewing large amounts of text or speech. As the name suggests, large-scale language models are trained with huge amounts of data. They organize and make sense of that data using “neural nets,” a scheme that somewhat mimics the neural pathways of the human brain. Large-scale language models learn not only words, but also phrases made up of many words. context Something that expresses a new phrase or idea (meaning the words that accompany it or in which it is embedded).
Exercise capacityThe ability to make controlled movements especially with the hands and legs.
NavigateFinding one's way through a landscape using visual cues, sensory information (e.g., smell), magnetic information (e.g., an internal compass), or other techniques.
novel: Something clever, unusual and new, never seen before.
Parkour: A French term for a type of gymnastics-like activity in which one soars through the environment by jumping, leaping, or climbing over walls or other obstacles. Movements tend to be very quick and fluid. They may include leaps and somersaults over banisters, stairs, or other structures. They may also involve climbing walls or jumping from a wall or fence to another structure.
physically: (adjective) A term referring to something that exists in the real world, not just in memory or imagination. It can also refer to the properties of matter resulting from size or non-chemical interactions (such as when one block slams into another).
Enhancement: any consequence that guides the future behavior of an animal or person. If a rat presses a lever and receives a food pellet, that food pellet serves as reinforcement for pressing the lever and as a reward that teaches the rat to press the lever again.
Reinforcement learningAn educational approach in which an animal or human learns to perform a specific task in order to obtain a desired reward.
Resilience: The ability to recover quickly from setbacks.
robot: A machine that can sense its surrounding environment, process information, and respond with specific actions. Some robots can operate without human input, while others follow human instructions.
RoboticistSomeone who designs or builds robots.
slope: (in geology) The steep side of a cliff, hill, or mountain.
software: Mathematical instructions that tell a computer's hardware, including the processor, to perform certain operations.
Steer: To direct the movement of something (a vehicle, person, or idea) in a particular direction.
system: A network of parts working together to accomplish some function. For example, blood, blood vessels, and the heart are the main components of the human body's circulatory system. Similarly, trains, platforms, tracks, road signals, and overpasses are some of the potential components of a country's rail system. System can also apply to a process or idea that is part of some method or ordered series of steps to complete a task.
terrain: The land and what covers it in a particular area. The term can refer to anything from smooth, flat, dry terrain to rocky and swampy areas to forested mountainous regions.
tool: An object made or acquired by a person or another animal and used to serve some purpose, such as reaching for food, protecting oneself, or grooming oneself.
Transformational: (adjective) From etymology TransformThe term “adaptation” refers to the ability of something to adapt significantly or bring about a significant improvement in a situation.
virtual: To nearly resemble something. A substantially real object or concept is nearly true or real, but not entirely. The term is often used to refer to something that is modeled (or achieved) by a computer using numbers rather than real-world parts. Thus, a virtual motor is a motor that can be seen on a computer screen and tested by computer programming (but is not a three-dimensional device made of metal). (Computing) Something that is digitally processed and/or performed over the internet. For example, a virtual meeting is a meeting that people watch and participate in over the internet.
