what it is?

how it works?

what is required to know in AI?

Answer
Hello Omkar

here's a link on a brief description of A.I. (http://www.iep.utm.edu/a/artintel.htm ).It's a very nice intro on AI .
On fuzzy logic now, here's a description of it by it's very own inventor, Lotfy Zadeh (http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/fuzzy/fuzzyint.shtml#72 ).
If you're going to be involved in AI, you must very adequately know math, programming, computer archtectures, formal logic, and some physics. These are the very basics. Depending on the particular field you want to deal with, you must also know digital image processing, control theory, digital signal processing, genetic algorithms, fuzzy systems, biology, neurobiology, evolutionary programming, robotics and the list goes on and on. You must pretty much have an idea about multiple scientific desciplines and specialize in some of them. It's not an easy task, but not too difficult either.

Expertise

I can answer most of the questions about the workings of a Fuzzy Logic machine, from the basics up to a certain advanced point.Questions regarding applications of Fuzzy systems intregrating with other technologies such as Neural Nets or Genetic Algorithms are propably out of my reach although,with some research,i could try to answer them(i have working knowledge of Neural Nets an Genetic Algorithms but i`m far from being consider an expert to these areas).

Experience

I have experience in Fuzzy Logic gained in projects i have been part of.The last project was a robotic vehicle that used a Fuzzy Logic path tracker which i designed.
