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 […]
We would like to inform our readers about upcoming events this October on advanced robotics concepts and design: The 2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems will take place on October 11 to 15, 2009 at St. Louis, MO, USA.

The european humanoid robot research project called Eccerobot, which stands for “Embodied Cognition in a Compliantly Engineered Robot” aims to mimic the human anatomy in a humanoid robot more than any of its kind before. The project is run by University of Munich and has several European partners and supporters. By making a design that […]
Neural Networks are one of the biggest tools that the AI researchers use. In summary, they enable natural learning of an artificial algorithm, in order to achieve an assigned goal. In a recent experiment done by French researchers, the goal was to have robots get closer to a food supply, which meant earning points, and […]
Cambridge, Mass., June 22, 2009. BBN Technologies, an advanced technology solutions firm, has been awarded $29.7 million in funding by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under the Machine Reading program in a contract awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The goal of the Machine Reading program is to develop a revolutionary, […]
Scientists at Duke University of USA have built a robot that can autonomously locate pieces of metal in human flesh and guide a needle to the correct location. The procedure requires first vibrating the metal pieces by an electromagnet thus enabling the robot to detect the motion. After that, the robot advances the needle to […]
