IBM’s Watson computer, which became famous last month by beating human champions in Jeopardy, will be commercialized in Healthcare industry, according to a recent research and development agreement between IBM and Nuance Communications. The development project will combine Watson’s abilities in Language and Machine Learning and Nuance’s speech recognition and Clinical Language understanding abilities. The forecast for the first available commercial version is around 18-24 […] Read More

A research project in Europe called the Roboearth aims to make data sharing between the robots universal. It will be a new version of the internet, just for robots, such that once a task is learned and completed by a robot, the same skill will be available to all robots via downloading. The project which started a year ago and performed under the funding of […] Read More

Swiss researchers were able improve a robots balancing abilities by implementing a new type of visual processor. The problem of balancing objects have been known in robotics and large objects such as poles was known to be balanced before. However, an object as small as a pen needs a different type of processing system. Researchers were able to solve this problem by implementing silicon retinas, […] Read More

In order to improve the effectiveness and safety of ground surveillance missions, a recent project called Mind’s eye and funded by DARPA seeks to improve the visual intelligence of automated surveillance systems. The press release provided by DARPA states: DARPA has contracted with 12 research teams to develop fundamental machine-based visual intelligence: Carnegie Mellon University, Co57 Systems, Inc., Colorado State University, Jet Propulsion Laboratory/CALTECH, Massachusetts […] Read More

Researchers have developed a new type of robot griping system, which is able to handle objects of any shape, by utilizing a complete different system than usual robot grippers. The system is based on a totally new concept of filling a flexible container, such as a party balloon, with granular material and removing the air in the balloon after the object is contacted. The researchers […] Read More

Carnegie Mellon University Researchers, under the funding of Google and DARPA, and benefitting from the internet database provided by Yahoo, are working on a self learning computer algorithm that is able to extract knowledge from the internet by itself, to learn language and facts. The system is called NELL, which stands for “Never Ending Language Learning System”, scans hundreds of millions of web pages everyday, […] Read More
