Robotics News, Knowledge & Insight since 2008
11th July 2017: The robotic revolution is set to cause the biggest transformation in the world’s workforce since the industrial revolution. In fact, research suggests that over 30% of jobs in Britain are under threat from breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. With pioneering advances in technology many jobs that weren’t considered ripe for automation suddenly are. RS Components have used PWC Data to […] Read More
PITTSBURGH – A new interactive design tool developed by Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute enables both novices and experts to build customized legged or wheeled robots using 3D-printed components and off-the-shelf actuators. Using a familiar drag-and-drop interface, individuals can choose from a library of components and place them into the design. The tool suggests components that are compatible with each other, offers potential placements […] Read More
IBM has just started a new division, IBM Q, in order to start working on quantum computers. Although the technology to enable quantum computers are still in research phase, IBM executives believe that the current results are sufficiently promising, in order to start working. The company will, for now, create the infrastructure to work on Quantum Computers, such as creating APIs and simulators. Quantum Computers […] Read More
Robot Operating System (ROS) http://www.ros.org Today by far the most commonly used robotics software is ROS, which stands for Robot Operating System. This is an open source software, and the most number of developers and robotics users are involved with this program with an ever increasing rate. It contains set of libraries, algorithms, developer tools and drivers for developing robotics projects. The first release of […] Read More
It was recently announced that Microsoft and OpenAI, a non-profit AI research company will partner to develop AI that is open to everyone, with Microsoft’s open source deep learning software, Azure platform. In the official blog of OpenAI, it was stated that the access to faster machines provided by Azure will enable them to run their research more effectively. The results will be shared with […] Read More

In a recent conference organized by Wall Street Journal, IBM CEO said that the Watson AI program is to be used by a billion users by 2018. Watson is a natural language processing AI program, which made an impressive entry to news headlines, when it had defeated human champions in the game Jeopardy. Since then the software is constantly being improved, and two of the […] Read More
As ROS – Robot Operating System is being used by more and more robots, a new form of building robots that uses ROS is coming into play, which is called H-ROS, Hardware Robot Operating System. This is currently supported by several companies that adopt its standard interfaces. Each piece runs ROS 2.0 on its own has its own ROS nodes and topics. Building robots is […] Read More

Deep learning is a relatively new but cery powerful concept for machine intelligence. Combined with cloud robotics, where robots share what they learn with each other immediately, this has huge potential in getting robots much more involved in our lives. Note that the artice discusses about industrial robots here, but, domestic robots will very soon follow as usual. For the detailed artice, see below: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601045/this-factory-robot-learns-a-new-job-overnight/#/set/id/601069/ Read More
