BOSTON, Mass.,– September 18, 2012 – Ushering in a new era in robotics, Rethink Robotics today unveiled the world’s first humanoid robots capable of applying common sense behavior to manufacturing environments. Affordably priced, versatile and safe enough to work shoulder-to-shoulder with people, Rethink’s new line of Baxter robots redefine how small, mid-size and large domestic manufacturers use […]
Robots have long been thought of as either impractical toys for the burgeoning tech scene, or visionary specimens of a science fiction future. From Twilight Zone and the Jetsons to Stanley Kubrick’s Hal 500 and Michael Bay’s Transformers, the idea of robots and artificial intelligence (AI) has captivated the human imagination since the first computer […]
Menlo Park, CA – May 9, 2012 Willow Garage today announced the formation of The Open Source Robotics Foundation, Inc. The OSRF is an independent, non-profit organization founded by members of the global robotics community. Their mission is to support the development, distribution, and adoption of open source software for use in robotics research, education, and product […]
In Japan researchers developed a robot that can use artificial intelligence to learn about its surroundings and act accordingly. The android robot which is run by a system called -SOINN, Self Organizing Incremantal Neural Network – enables robot to perform unsupervised tasks which are autonomously learned. The robot in the video below is able to […]
There is an undeniable fact that the robots are becoming more and more common in our daily lives. But what are the social and legal consequences? A recent news at Physorg.Com reports a Stanford University discussion about that kind of scenarios. Military, domestic, medical, industrial and all type of robots are all becoming more involved […]
