Rise of the Robot Security Guards
Startup Knightscope is preparing to roll out human-size robot patrols. As the sun set on a warm November afternoon, a quartet of five-foot-tall, 300-pound shiny white robots patrolled in front of Building 1 on Microsoft’s Silicon Valley campus. Looking like a crew of slick Daleks imbued with the grace of Fred Astaire, they whirred quietly across the concrete in different directions, stopping and t
Robots That Learn Through Repetition, Not Programming
Robots That Learn Through Repetition, Not Programming A startup says getting a robot to do things should be less about writing code and more like animal training. Eugene Izhikevich thinks you shouldn’t have to write code in order to teach robots new tricks. “It should be more like training a dog,” he says. “Instead of programming, you show it consistent examples of desired behavior.” In an onstag
Agile Robots - MIT Technology Review
Researchers at MIT, led by Seth Teller and Russ Tedrake, replaced the dynamic balance software that comes with Atlas with their own version. This lets the robot walk relatively quickly over uneven and unfamiliar ground. Walking is an extraordinary feat of biomechanical engineering. Every step requires balance and the ability to adapt to instability in a split second. It requires quickly adjusting
Urban Jungle a Tough Challenge for Google’s Autonomous Cars
It may be decades before autonomous vehicles can reliably handle the real world, experts say. After catching the world and the auto industry by surprise with its progress with self-driving cars, Google has begun the latest, most difficult phase of its project – making the vehicles smart enough to handle the chaos of city streets. Passenger vehicle: A prototype car, demonstrated by Google in May of
Hidden Obstacles for Google’s Self-Driving Cars
Impressive progress hides major limitations of Google’s quest for automated driving. Would you buy a self-driving car that couldn’t drive itself in 99 percent of the country? Or that knew nearly nothing about parking, couldn’t be taken out in snow or heavy rain, and would drive straight over a gaping pothole? If your answer is yes, then check out the Google Self-Driving Car, model year 2014. Of co
