Basic safety needs in the paleolithic era have largely evolved with the onset of the industrial and cognitive revolutions. We interact a little less with raw materials, and interface a little more with machines.
Robots don't have the same hardwired behavioral awareness and control, so secure collaboration with humans requires methodical planning and coordination.
Small robots make a big impact with students - Prince William County Public Schools
Christine Thai-Pappa is a National Board Certified third grade teacher at Chris Yung Elementary School. She and her colleagues are always looking for science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) inspired ways to engage their students. One way they do that is with Ozobot.
“Coding is the language of the future and that it is critical for students to learn coding from an early age.” said Thai-Pappa.
Part of the learning process is that students will not always get their code correct the first time to control the robot.
What Happens When Robots Make Fake News?
Artificially generated content can be an enormously productive tool for propagandists and spreaders ... [+] of disinformation.
Through automation and the use of Artificial Intelligence, our ability to understand complex subjects and apply ourselves as journalists is rapidly diminishing. As AI software is refined, media literacy becomes increasingly complex.
Fully 3D-printed soft robots with integrated fluidic circuitry | Science Advances
The emergence of soft robots has presented new challenges associated with controlling the underlying fluidics of such systems.
( A ) Modular 3D CAD models and analogous electronic circuit symbols of fluidic circuit elements, fluidic interconnects, soft actuators, and structural casing. ( B ) CAD model and corresponding analogous circuit diagram of a unified soft robot with a fully integrated fluidic oscillator circuit.
Walmart will be bringing Symbotic robots to 25 distribution centers – TechCrunch
Ask anyone who runs a fulfillment/warehouse robotics company what companies' top motivation is for embracing automation and they'll probably cite labor shortages or shipping speeds. The looming truth of the matter boils down to one word: Amazon.
Today, the fellow retail giant announced its latest robotics partnership, teaming with Massachusetts-based automation company Symbotic. The two announced today an extension of their relationship that will bring robotics to 25 regional Walmart distribution centers.
COVID could short-circuit plans to use robots at the Olympics - Axios
With no spectators allowed at the Tokyo Olympics, robots might be the only ones on hand to witness the athletic feats at this year's Summer Games.
Why it matters: Organizers had billed the 2020 Olympics as "the most innovative ever," with plans to deploy teams of robots to assist and dazzle visiting athletes and fans.
Fewer jobs, more robots and lots of women at home: 4 charts that show how Covid-19 changed
When restaurants shut their doors and hotels turned tourists away in an effort to contain Covid-19, U.S. nonfarm payrolls shed 17 percent of jobs in the span of two months.
At the start of the pandemic, upwards of 5 million Americans left the workforce. Since then, recovery has been bumpy. A net total of 2.1 million women and 1.7 million men quit the labor force in 2020 — meaning they are unemployed and not actively looking for work.
AI Teaches a Robot How to Learn to Walk - Nextgov
Artificial intelligence has done more than teach a robot to walk. It taught a robot to learn to walk, researchers report.
The distinction is key. A major hurdle to deploying legged robots, whether with two, four, or even more legs, is figuring out how the robot will respond to changing conditions. Humans can adapt as they walk over rocks, mud, sand, slippery ice, and uneven surfaces.
New Material Could Give Robots 'Skin' with a Sense of Touch
Researchers in Singapore have developed an electronic material that helps robots sense touch and nearby objects.
The material is a kind of foam: a solid substance that is filled with air and is soft. And the foam has another useful quality. It repairs itself when damaged, much like human skin.
Robots at the Ready – Automating the Future of Food Service | Food Management
COVID completely altered t he landscape of food management, and maybe that is a good thing.
Just like the thought of ordering food on a smartphone to grab on-the-go food or get som ething promptly delivered to your door without any human intervention was just a dream a decade ago, some thought automated food service and so-called food robots were things of the distant future.
