In the months before the first reports of covid-19 would emerge, a new kind of robot headed to work. Built on years of breakthroughs in deep learning, it could pick up all kinds of objects with remarkable accuracy, making it a shoo-in for jobs like sorting products into packages at warehouses.
Amid the Labor Shortage, Robots Step in to Make the French Fries - WSJ
In a White Castle just southeast of Chicago, the 100-year-old purveyor of fast food has played host for the past year to an unusual, and unusually hardworking, employee: a robotic fry cook.
Flippy, as the robot is known , is no gimmick, says Jamie Richardson, a White Castle vice president. It works 23 hours a day (one hour is reserved for cleaning) and has operated almost continuously for the past year, manning—or robot-ing—the fry station at White Castle No. 42 in Merrillville,
How squirrels can help us create better robots — Quartz
Tree squirrels are the Olympic divers of the rodent world, leaping gracefully among branches and structures high above the ground. And as with human divers, a squirrel's success in this competition requires both physical strength and mental adaptability.
The Jacobs lab studies cognition in free-ranging fox squirrels on the Berkeley campus. Two species—the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) and the fox squirrel (Sciurus niger)— thrive on campus landscapes and are willing participants in our behavioural experiments.
Robots are poised to start unloading lorries | The Economist
U NLOADING LORRIES is wearisome for people, but hardly an intellectual challenge. For robots it is the reverse. Robots never tire. They do, however, have problems interpreting the data streaming in from the cameras and laser scanners that are their eyes.
And that is just the start. The next question is what the robot should do with what it sees. The less tidy the contents, the greater the problem. Shrink-wrapped pallets of packages are one thing, the miscellaneous jumbles of objects handled by parcel-delivery businesses quite another.
AiFoam Makes Robots Smarter And Gives Them The Ability To Self Repair
Robots can perform functions for humans, such as picking up objects, pouring a glass of wine, or performing otherwise impossible or dangerous actions for humans to complete. However, in all these applications, humans still control the robots.
The latest advance in this field comes from a team at the National University of Singapore. They discovered a new kind of foam, called Artificially innervated foam (AiFoam), that has human-like functionalities.

Rise of the machines: Robots are smart, self aware. Are they conscious? - Hindustan Times
They're taking on delicate tasks too. In New York state, at least 2,000 animatronic cats and dogs are part of a wildly successful loneliness intervention programme for seniors. Old people have talked to and played with their fake furries so much, the batteries have worn out.
At the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence, bots are learning how to type like humans. They're taking cues from our rapid eye-and-finger connections when we text on a touchscreen. They detect and correct errors too. The University of Texas at Austin has a robot soccer team.
Two robots are changing the way we explore Mars - CNN
(CNN) In the quest to understand Mars, two robots are better than one -- especially when they work together.
Your latest 5G app: Robots as a Service!, AI, Analytics & Automation | TelecomTV
Networks powered by 5G technology are now becoming increasingly commonplace and have the bandwidth to enable large-scale connectivity which will accelerate the adoption of connected robots. So says a fascinating and detailed 30-page Information Paper, ‘A Mobile Revolution.
The paper explains that thanks to 5G’s high-speed data transmission capabilities and the provision of full 5G coverage throughout a factory, warehouse or other defined space, thanks either to public or private 5G networks it is now possible, via cloud connectivity, to enable
