- Context-Free Grammar (CFG, Formal Grammar)
- A formal system for defining the syntactic rules of a language, consisting of a set of production rules that describe how symbols can be combined to form valid expressions. In accessibility and assist…
- Finite State Machine (FSM, State Machine)
- A computational model that can exist in exactly one of a finite number of states at any given time, transitioning between states in response to specific inputs or events. In assistive technology, fini…
- Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)
- A foundational robotics technique in which a robot constructs a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously estimating its own pose within that map. SLAM combines sensor input (typically LiDAR,…
- Turing Test (Imitation Game)
