With big, expressive eyes, elfin ears and adorable cooing, Miroka and Miroki could be an apparition from your favorite cartoon.But te, and designed to perform the drudgery of logistical support in hospitals or hotels. "Why live with ugly machines," says Jerome Monceaux, head of Paris-based start-up Enchanted Tools, who was on hand to present the pair at the CES tech show in Las Vegas last week. "I could cut their heads off and erase their colors, but I'm not sure you'd want to share your daily life with them," he…

Last month, I took an extended break. In a bid to keep my robotics newsletter Actuator (subscribe here) up and running, however, I reached out to some of the biggest names in the industry. I asked people from CMU, UC Berkeley, Meta, NVIDIA, Boston Dynamics and the Toyota Research Institute the same six questions, covering topics like generative AI, the humanoid form factor, home robots and more. You’ll find all of the answers broken up by question below. You would be hard pressed to find a more comprehensive…

Humans are always exploring new and innovative ways, that makes them the most advanced and intelligent creatures of nature. From an artificial intelligence system to research and development in robotics, all are the creations of humans’ intelligent minds. And now it has entered in the race of making Humanoid robots. Today, the development of humanoids is increasing rapidly, and they are occupying a larger percentage of robotics research space. Humanoid is a robot with a body shape built to resemble the human body.…

A dangerous robot army of bees can be created with this AI-based tool Scientists have developed an AI-based robot that is capable of communicating with animals including elephants and whales – it can even be used to create a dangerous robot army of bees. Artificial intelligence could take control of whole groups of animals – it’s already worked with bees. A German research team has developed an AI which is capable of ‘speaking’ with—and even controlling⁠—wild animals. Smart algorithms are…

Digital humanoids trained to play soccer to help them move more human-like with DeepMind The Alphabet-backed AI firm, DeepMind is making use of virtual games to help its digital AI humanoids creation move more like humans. Digital humanoids are trained to play soccer to help them move more human-like. DEEPMIND’S pulled out all the stops to teach an AI to play soccer and starting with a virtual player writhing around on the floor—so it nailed at least one aspect of the game right from kick-off. But forcing the mechanics…

“This didn’t really work,” says Nicolas Heess, also a research scientist at DeepMind, and one of the paper’s coauthors with Lever. Because of the complexity of the problem, the huge range of options available, and the lack of prior knowledge about the task, the agents didn’t really have any idea where to start—hence the writhing and twitching.So instead, Heess, Lever, and colleagues used neural probabilistic motor primitives (NPMP), a teaching method that nudged the AI model towards more human-like movement patterns, in…
