Boston Dynamics gives its robot dog a developer SDK
[ad_1] Until today, only developers in the early adopter program could get the SDK, but now it’s freely available to all as open-source code. However, developers will still need to become early adopters if they want to lease a robot to test their code, Boston Dynamics said. That way, they can “create custom methods of […]
India will launch a humanoid robot ahead of its first crewed space mission
[ad_1] The robot told reporters it can operate switch panels, talk to astronauts and monitor a spacecraft’s environmental and life support systems. Its primary purpose, however, is to allow ISRO to test how space flight affects the human body before the agency sends astronauts up in one of its Gaganyaan craft. In the run up […]
Facebook’s new robot AI can get around efficiently without using a map
[ad_1] The trick was to implement a new training method that scaled well and stayed in sync no matter what the workload. Previous projects tend to struggle without massive computational power. Facebook taught a virtual agent to handle point-to-point navigation for the equivalent of 80 years of human experience — that’s about 2.5 billion steps. […]
Google CEO Sundar Pichai calls for ‘sensible regulation’ of AI
[ad_1] After laying out his relationship with technology and offering a few examples where innovation has had unintended negative consequences, Pichai makes the case that while AI is powerful and useful, we must balance its “potential harms… with social opportunities.” Of course, this call for “balance” leaves some questions about how tight of regulation Pichai […]
Apple just bought a low-power AI startup
[ad_1] Apple is giving its standard response: “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.” But one Xnor.ai illustration, shared by GeekWire, shows a computer vision tool identifying objects in a photo using software on an iPhone. That might be the kind of capability […]
Scientists created living robots out of stem cells
[ad_1] “These are novel living machines,” says Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at UVM who co-led the new research. “They’re neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It’s a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism.” To determine the best design for this new life form, researchers from […]
Facebook taught its AI to speak math
[ad_1] My numerical idiocy aside, Facebook has trained an AI to solve the toughest of math problems. Real superstring stuff. In effect, FB has taught their neural network to view complex mathematical equations “as a kind of language and then [treat] solutions as a translation problem for sequence-to-sequence neural networks.” This is actually quite a […]
US may permanently ground civilian drone program over China fears
[ad_1] Normally, the drones would be used for less urgent situations like mapping terrain and tracking resources. The Interior Department hasn’t responded to a request for comment. DJI, which built about 121 of the drones, said it was eager to look at the Department’s drone program review and point out the “lack of credible evidence” […]
