The robot called CB2, which has been developed by Japanese scientist, is used to study machine learning. The robot is developing social skills by examining humans. Robotics engineers, brain scientists, psychologists and experts from other fields are working on the project. The robot has been operational since two years. 51 muscles driven by air pressure, is used for movement of the robot, and since the […] Read More

British Scientists have created a robot navigation system that is based on visual recognition of a set of different objects in a particular scene,which enables the navigating robot recognize the location if it has been visited before. The robot does this by assigning a definitive description to the scene which consists of 1000 words, every two seconds. In addition, just like humans, the navigation system […] Read More

Braintech’s Technology Running on Sony Smart Cameras Provides Compact Robot Vision System. MCLEAN, VA., Feb. 9, 2009. Braintech Inc. has certified its eVisionFactory Lite (eVF Lite) software to run on Sony Electronics’ new generation of Smart Cameras (XCI-SX100/XP), creating a compact vision system suitable for a broad spectrum of 2D and 3D robotic vision guidance applications in the automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage and general […] Read More

Developing of the brain is highly interconnected with our senses. To simulate the natural brain development, the AI research needs to include sensory input and output constantly feeding information back and forth to the controlling mechanism. This is where the backbone of our intelligence lies. The article in New Scientist in the link below, is about such an experiment, performed at Robert Gordon University in […] Read More

It is now a reality that after decades of computer history, we are nowhere near to a real artificial intelligence. This is not like the computer programmers of the past were probably envisioning our age. The common thought a couple decades ago was, as soon as the computers have enough processing capability, the Artificial Intelligence would emerge naturally. Yet we still have to see a […] Read More

PITTSBURGH: Computational neuroscientists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a computational model thatprovides insight into the function of the brain’s visual cortex and the information processing that enables people to perceive contours and surfaces, and understand what they see in the world around them. A type of visual neuron known as simple cells can detect lines, or edges, but the computation they perform is insufficient […] Read More

Software development platform allows academics, hobbyists and commercial vendors to simplify the creation of robotics applications across a wide variety of hardware.SANTA CLARA, Calif. Nov. 17, 2008, At the RoboDevelopment Conference and Expo in Santa Clara, Calif., Microsoft Corp. today announced the general availability of Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 (Microsoft RDS), the newest version of its robotics programming platform. Microsoft RDS includes a simple […] Read More

As the computer capabilities and as a result online computer games improve, the Artificial Itelligence software that is being used to manage these games is also evolving. In the annual Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment Conference (AIIDE) held at Stanford University last month, the progress of and different aspects of AI has been discussed with the focus being on computer games. Various recent developments […] Read More
