We are getting so good at making robots that we'll probably quit making humans soon. Robots are faster than us, they're stronger than us, and they're smart enough to beat us at every game we've ever invented. They can even paint pictures and sing. It is getting to the point where we need to ask — can a human do anything better than a robot?
Jeff Clune and his students are not only getting robots to think, but to think creatively.
In the movie “Terminator 2,” the shape-shifting T-1000 robot morphs into a liquid state to squeeze through tight spaces or to repair itself when harmed.
Axalta Coating Systems, a leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings, is sponsoring First State Robotics of Delaware and the Miracles of Engineering (MOE) First Tech Challenge team. Axalta awarded a scholarship to robotics team member, Noah Andrews. Noah recently graduated from high school and is looking forward to starting college in the fall as an information technology major, focusing on security.
United Technologies Research Center, the research and innovation arm of United Technologies Corp., has given $250,000 gift to the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science to establish a fellowship in robotics.
Gamma 2 Robotics ("G2R"), developers of the world's first commercially available security robot, announced today that it has been invited to host a roundtable session at the 2014 National Sports Safety & Security Conference ("NCS4"), July 8 - 10 in Indianapolis, IN (www.ncs4.com). One of just 10 companies selected, G2R will contribute to this year's theme of "The Business of Sports Safety & Security" by illustrating the role robots can play at sporting events.
Droplet Robotics, the world’s first smart sprinkler system, today announced the availability of its flagship sprinkler system in the U.S. By combining the latest technology in robotics, cloud computing and connected services, Droplet transforms the way sprinkler systems function. Unveiled globally in March, the Droplet Sprinkler System is now available online at Amazon.com.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Residential Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
Machine learning, in which computers learn new skills by looking for patterns in training data, is the basis of most recent advances in artificial intelligence, from voice-recognition systems to self-parking cars. It's also the technique that autonomous robots typically use to build models of their environments.
Robots are getting smarter, but they still need step-by-step instructions for tasks they haven't performed before. Before you can tell your household robot "Make me a bowl of ramen noodles," you'll have to teach it how to do that. Since we're not all computer programmers, we'd prefer to give those instructions in English, just as we'd lay out a task for a child.
