Philosopher and computer scientist Peter Asaro ’94 wants world leaders and ordinary citizens to consider the dangers of programming war machines to decide who lives or dies.
THOR, a humanoid robot under the command of UCLA and University of Pennsylvania, has kicked its way to the top of the robotic soccer world, winning first place and a top technology trophy on July 22 at RoboCup, an annual robot soccer tournament held this year in Hefei, China. More than 400 teams from 40-plus countries participated.
Blue Frog Robotics, creator of BUDDY, the world’s first open-source companion robot, today rolled out initial details of its software development kit (SDK) and developer program that will make it easy to build apps for BUDDY.
A team of robots and researchers from Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology is headed to Washington, D.C., to play a concert at the historic Kennedy Center. Professor Gil Weinberg and his machines, Shimon and three Shimi robots, will perform July 22 on the Center’s Millennium Stage.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has given rise to machines that can match humans at chess, rival them in the stock market, and aid them in the clinic. But researchers' ultimate goal is to create a well-rounded, human-like computer program -- an aspiration that raises many questions and poses a wide range of challenges.
Rethink Robotics, in collaboration with Epoch Foundation, is expanding its operations in Asia and opening an office at Garage+ Incubation Center in Taipei. As a pioneer in the collaborative robotics market, Rethink Robotics develops robots specifically designed to operate in variable manufacturing environments alongside humans, without the need for traditional safety cages.
The Network will bring together the UK’s core academic capabilities in robotics innovation under national coordination for the first time and encourage academic and industry collaborations that will accelerate the development and adoption of robotics and autonomous systems.
From a robot’s perspective, humans are normally a nuisance: when robots and humans have to work together, it often leads to problems. Researchers on CogIMon, a new project starting at Bielefeld University, want to teach robots how to interact with humans and work together to accomplish tasks. CogIMon stands for “cognitive compliant interaction in motion.” This research group is working on humanoid as well as industrial robots.
SoftBank Corp., Alibaba Group Holding Limited and Foxconn Technology Group today announced an agreement under which Alibaba and Foxconn will each invest JPY 14.5 billion in SoftBank Robotics Holdings Corp., the SoftBank Group’s intermediate holding company responsible for its robotics business.
The aim of the research carried out by the Computational Cognitive Robotics Group from the Department of Artificial Intelligence of the School of Computing Engineering at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) is the development of a Spanish pioneering robot that can establish visual and linguistic interaction with a human interlocutor.
