An algorithm for controlling multiple robots designed in Georgia Tech University allows robots to move in right formation in the most efficient way for a given goal. The robots are instructed to spell a word, and starting with a random configuration, they efficiently change their relative positions so that they spell each letter of the word, by traveling the minimum required distance. Each robot starts without a previous knowledge […] 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
