Organized by the Singularity institute for Artificial Intelligence, this year’s singularity summit will take place in San Jose, CA next week. Among the speakers are Intel’s Chief Technology officer, Manager of cognitive computing at IBM. The main focus of the event is to debate implications in the future when the Artificial Intelligence has the reasoning […]

Nice underwater robot
Six computer programs will compete for the $100,000 and a gold medal Loebner prize in order to pass the Turing Test. The test was devised half a century ago by the great mathematician Alan Turing. The procedure of test is simply to be able to recognize a computer program from a human speaker, without knowing […]
The robotic hand under development by the University of Southern California in Los Angeles has a new way of estimating the minimum force required in order to hold objects.The fingertips of the hand are filled with gel, which allows transmitting vibrations if an object in contact is slipping. The finger’s bone is also covered with […]
The robot that has been developed by University of Pennsylvania, USA, is capable of reassembling itself after being scattered into pieces.The units first detect each other’s location by their light sensors and signals, and then decide how to reassemble themselves according to the given objective, which is to assemble into different forms and shapes to […]
Robot toy cycler has been unveiled by Japan’s Murata Manufacturing. The robot is able to balance itself on one wheel and at the same time can detect obstacles with its sensor in order to move around them. The robot will be improved to move in every direction freely. For original story, please click below. Reference: […]
The new wheelchair robot currently under development by MIT researchers, is able to take the person to the desired location autonomously, upon receiving a verbal command.The robot is first taught about the places verbally, when visiting those places for the first time, and then is able to find its own way back to those locations. […]
A new robot has been developed in Europe, which removes marine growth from ship hull. The robot does this by first creating a map of the ship’s hull surface area, which includes all irregularities such as thickness change, weld locations, rivets and indentations. The pressurized sea water is then used to remove the marine growth […]
