Robot Uses Arms, Location and More to Discover Objects
Posted on May 7, 2013 |A robot can struggle to discover objects in its surroundings when it relies on computer vision alone. But by taking advantage of all of the information available to it — an object’s location, size, shape and even whether it can be lifted — a robot... -
Probabilistic Programming for Advanced Machine Learning
Posted on March 25, 2013 |The Pentagon’s blue-sky research agency is readying a nearly four-year project to boost artificial intelligence systems by building machines that can teach themselves — while making it easier for ordinary schlubs like us to build them, too. When Darpa talks about artificial intelligence, it’s not... -
Cloud-Computing Platform for Robots
Posted on March 18, 2013 |Researchers of five European universities have developed a cloud-computing platform for robots. The platform allows robots connected to the Internet to directly access the powerful computational, storage, and communications infrastructure of modern data centers — the giant server farms behind the likes of Google, Facebook,... -

Artificial intelligence: A new future
Posted on November 5, 2012 |More than half a century after the introduction of AI, three key developments could augur the emergence of machine intelligence. New insights from neuroscience and cognitive science are leading to new hardware and software designs. The development of the internet provides access to a vast... -
The Thinking Robot – An Awareness Film
Posted on October 8, 2012 |A 35 minute short film about academic and engineer, Professor Alan Winfield of the Bristol Robotics Lab in which he discusses robot learning, reinforcement learning, evolutionary learning, robot evolution, theory of mind and four categories of intelligence. Music by the Oslo iPhone Ensemble, utilising an... -
What counts as a conscious thinking machine?
Posted on September 11, 2012 |HOW close are we to creating a machine that thinks like us? It’s difficult to say: consciousness is the slipperiest aspect of machine intelligence. Some foresee radically superhuman AI arriving before the middle of the century. Others remain sceptical because although most AI systems are... -
Roots of Human Self-Awareness
Posted on August 23, 2012 |Ancient Greek philosophers considered the ability to “know thyself” as the pinnacle of humanity. Now, thousands of years later, neuroscientists are trying to decipher precisely how the human brain constructs our sense of self. Self-awareness is defined as being aware of oneself, including one’s traits,... -
MIT Robot Plane Puts Autonomy Back Into Autonomous Flight
Posted on August 20, 2012 |Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are now flying a small, autonomous fixed-wing aircraft capable of navigating indoor obstacles without external guidance. Different university labs around the country continue to push the capabilities of these tiny robotic aircraft. But most of the indoor fliers... -
Robot learns to recognise itself in the mirror
Posted on August 16, 2012 |NICO spends a lot of time looking in the mirror. But it’s not mere vanity – Nico is a humanoid robot that can recognise its reflection – a step on the path towards true self-awareness. In fact, Nico can identify almost exactly where its arm...
