Feb 9, 2022 · Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are leading to the emergence of a new class of robot. In the next five years, our households and workplaces will become dependent upon the role of robots, says Pieter Abbeel, the founder of UC Berkeley Robot Learning Lab. Here he outlines a few standout examples.
4 days ago · Combining next-token prediction and video diffusion in computer vision and robotics. A new method can train a neural network to sort corrupted data while anticipating next steps. It can make flexible plans for robots, generate high-quality video, and help AI agents navigate digital environments. October 16, 2024.
Sep 18, 2024 · Cutting-edge technologies can play a huge role in transforming the healthcare sector, says the World Economic Forum’s Global Health and Healthcare report. And the robotic-assisted surgery market is predicted to grow to over $14 billion by 2026, up from just over $10 billion in 2023. From doctor training to stroke rehabilitation, here are five ...
May 10, 2024 · To enable this, the researchers treat a robot’s action space, or how it can move in a certain area, like an image. Their machine-learning model uses images of the robot’s environment to generate a 2D action space, which includes the robot and the area around it. They simulate robot motion using what is known as the material-point-method ...
Mar 4, 2019 · The robot’s joints are capable of spinning three times faster, with twice the amount of torque, and Katz estimates the robot could run about twice as fast with a little tuning. The team wrote another computer code to direct the robot to stretch and twist in various, yoga-like configurations, showcasting its range of motion and ability to rotate its limbs and joints while maintaining balance.
Jul 26, 2021 · Using an artificially intelligent robot, two Dutch entrepreneurs are helping clean up some of the problem. The BeachBot is a specially designed machine that can identify and remove small items of litter from beaches. It uses image recognition to find butts in the sand and picks them up. The BeachBot uses AI to find and pick up cigarette butts ...
Jun 24, 2021 · A new survey-based study explains how automation is reshaping the workplace in unexpected ways. Robots can improve efficiency and quality, reduce costs, and even help create more jobs for their human counterparts. But more robots can also reduce the need for managers. The study is titled “The Robot Revolution: Managerial and Employment ...
Jul 19, 2023 · Robots are helping humans in a growing number of places – from archaeological sites to disaster zones and sewers. The most recent robotic inventions can gather data, squeeze into small spaces – even call an elevator. Automation is expected to be a net job creator in most sectors, according to the World Economic Forum's latest Future of Jobs ...
Sep 30, 2024 · MIT engineers have developed a method that enables robots to make similarly intuitive, task-relevant decisions. The team’s new approach, named Clio, enables a robot to identify the parts of a scene that matter, given the tasks at hand. With Clio, a robot takes in a list of tasks described in natural language and, based on those tasks, it then ...
Jul 1, 2020 · The restaurant is testament to China's growing robotics industry, which has a marker value of $5.4 billion. A Chinese business claiming to be the world’s first “robot restaurant complex” officially opened Monday in the southern Guangdong province. FOODOM Tianjiang Food Kingdom — located in Foshan’s Shunde District, an area hailed as ...
