Understanding Artificial Intelligence And Should You Be Worried?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is humanity’s most powerful technology. Stories about artificially intelligent creatures go back at least as fas as the ancient Greeks. The Greeks had myths about robots, and Chinese and Egyptian engineers built automatons. The field of modern AI wasn’t formally founded until 1956, at a conference at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New…
Artificially Intelligent Humanoid Robots developed for Airliner Assembly
The robots may have taken over the automobile industry by building cars by the millions but there still lag behind in the assembly of air crafts. Assembling of airliners is a task where human workers are still considered essential. Four year joint research project has been initiated by the Joint Robotics Laboratory (JRL) and Airbus…
Walls Won’t Stop Disney’s Robot VertiGo
Now there’s a new gravity defying bot out in the market. Disney Research Zurich and Swiss technology ETH have a developed a four-wheeled robot with integrated propellers that allow it to scale vertical surfaces. This new bot is called VertiGo. It is driven by a user like a remote-controlled car, but adjusts its propellers automatically…
