Algorithm Provides Enhanced Recognition Capabilities for Use in a Wide Range of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision ApplicationsVilnius, Lithuania, September 10, 200, Neurotechnology (http://www.neurotechnology.com), a provider of high-precision biometric and object identification technologies, today announced the availability of SentiSight 2.0 SDK universal object recognition technology for the development of robotics, artificial intelligence and computer-based vision applications. The SentiSight 2.0 algorithm provides significantly enhanced 2D and 3D object recognition quality using still or video images from most digital cameras, including Webcams. Among the new features in SentiSight 2.0 are the ability to find and count the number of objects in a scene and the ability to compare and identify pictures […] Read More

Scientists at UC Davis in US have come up with a solution to teach robots to follow a leader by using behavioral cues. Usually robots have trouble following a leader when the leader disappears out of sight. The robots that are enabled with behavioral cue detection have performed with much more success in predicting and following the movements of a leader entity.

A new project that is about to start in Plymouth University of United Kingdom, the research team is aiming to teach robots the “meaning” of words. Currently the robots can process words without grasping the meaning like humans. The project aims to do this by mimicking the language teaching techniques to a child. In order to interact properly with people, the robot will have a humanlike look, so that people feel more natural about it. The robot will then be able to learn words by special algorithms designed to confirm and verify the meaning of words. The project is supposed to continue for three years and will cost around 190K […] Read More

A new software that has been presented at the Artificial Life Conference in UK, demonstrated the virtual entities learning ability without human intervention to do a particular move, by only knowing the ultimate position. The robot does not know anything about its environment in the beginning. Then by trial and error, it gradually refines its moves in order to reach the ultimate position objective. All this is done in simulated environments therefore it gives researchers great flexibility in improving the application. For more, click here Read More
