All artificial intelligent agents are robots, but is it possible to generalize this to vice versa, that are robots artificial intelligence? Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) have made it possible to find creative answers to the problems encountered by humanity and companies of all sizes across industries. Yet many questions

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign began with this more challenging task. They created a technique using multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), a form of artificial intelligence, to teach many agents to cooperate. Individual agents, such as robots or drones, can cooperate and finish a task when communication channels

An algorithmic planner developed by a team at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) can aid in delegating tasks to humans and robots. The planner, named “Act, Delegate, or Learn,” considers a list of activities before determining the best method to distribute them. The algorithmic planner can aid in delegating

Earlier, widespread automation meant the introduction of service sector jobs or big stupid machines doing repetitive work in factories. That’s not the case a couple of decades down the line, is it? Now there is software that can land

Artificial intelligence is seeping into every aspect of our lives. AI helps us buy, watch, or listen to the right thing at the right time. It’s suggesting the best news – or articles that will sway our opinion. AI is finding and directing our rideshare, optimizing our food orders, and

The famous inventor and computer scientist Ray Kurzweil has made some very bold predictions about the pace at which human technology is advancing toward the ultimate threshold. That threshold is known as “The Singularity.” That epithet is a metaphor borrowed from physics terminology to express the point at which information

The Henn-na Hotel in Japan just got more futuristic. Walking up to the front desk, customers are greeted with the familiar bow and the typical “Welcome” spiel from a typical Japanese woman. The catch: she’s a robot. Henn-na means either “flower” or “it’s weird,” depending on your interpretation. This new
