C++ is an object-oriented programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1983 at Bell Labs. C++ is one of the most popular programming languages in the world and has been around since the early days of computer science. It’s an old language and has seen a lot of different iterations over the years. C++ language has a lot of libraries, with the main focus being on games, software and also large selection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) libraries. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of algorithms that allow computers to perform various tasks. AI tools are included in a range of software products and services. This helps to solve numerous real-life problems, including self-driving cars, speech recognition, and robotics. Popular C++ Artificial Intelligence open source libraries for developers include: mrpt - The Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit; gtsam - GTSAM is a library of C classes that implement smoothing and mapping in robotics and vision, using factor graphs and Bayes networks as the underlying; chrono - High-performance C++ library for multiphysics and multibody dynamics simulations.
