RELATIONS BETWEEN people and robots are being reset . Host Alok Jha explores why the pace of automation is likely to accelerate, and what it means for societies and jobs. We also ask how advancements in AI and robotics can improve collaboration between humans and machines. Runtime: 36 min
When do we start legislating personal data captured by robots?
Recently we’ve seen a range of legislation, both passed and proposed, creating rules to protect personal data captured by connected devices.
There aren’t any data protections in place for that future, perhaps because we don’t really know how the future will unfold. After all, how many people interact with some type of connected robotic device today? Not many, although it’s likely more than you realize.
Scientists create cube robots that can shapeshift in space | Engadget
Each edge of an ElectroVoxel cube is an electromagnetic ferrite core wrapped with copper wire. The length of each ElectroVoxel side is around 60 millimeters. The total cost is just 60 cents.
When the polarity of a magnet is changed, the edges either attract or repel each other. That causes the cubes to shift into a different orientation. Printed circuit boards and electronics inside each cube control the direction of each electromagnet's current.
Notre Dame professor develops plant-inspired robots // The Observer
Margaret Coad was working toward her doctorate degree at Stanford in 2017 when inspiration struck a postdoctoral researcher in her lab — a brand new way for researchers to create deployable structures, navigate confined spaces and apply forces, such as lifting people up which could save
"He was thinking about the many ways to make robots lengthen and shorten and was looking at some plant and thought, 'What if we could make a robot grow from its own tip?'" Coad said.
Rios, a startup developing robots that can grasp objects, has raised $28M | VentureBeat
During the pandemic, robotics startups, particularly those occupying the logistics and transportation markets, have attracted increasing investments from venture firms.
Rios' robotics stack combines an AI orchestration system (deployed in the cloud or on-premises), embedded processors, computer vision, touch sensors, and accessories like gripper arms and pincers.
DriveU.auto Announces Remote Operation Platform for Robots
RAANANA, Israel , Feb.
DriveU.auto , developed and is deploying a software-based connectivity platform for teleoperation of robots and autonomous vehicles. The DriveU.auto solution enables both remote driving (direct drive) or high-level commands (remote assistance), at very low latency and high reliability.
State Research Institute Unveils a Variety of Robots | Be Korea-savvy
GWANGJU, Feb. 23 (Korea Bizwire) – The state-run Korea Institute of Robotics and Technology Convergence showed off a variety of robots on Monday in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
A snake-shaped rescue robot that is designed to explore narrow spaces can move its head in the direction that sound is coming from. After detecting people during a search, it can inject water or medicine through a tube mounted on its front area.
Robots are totally obsessed with this traditional children's game
The Kendama is a traditional Japanese children's toy used in a game more commonly known as "ball in a cup". Now, researchers are using it to teach robots through a method called 'reinforced learning'.
Strafford students nuts and bolts about robots | Marshfield Mail
A typical Saturday morning for any 5th or 6th graders should consist of cartoons and sugary cereals, but that’s not the case for a number of Strafford students. They spent the morning of Dec. 11 at a robotics competition.
Strafford schools hosted their very first robotic competition on Dec. 11, for surrounding schools as well as having a few of their own students competing.
