There's no question that robots will play an increasingly central role in our lives in the future, but to get to a stage where they can be genuinely useful there are still a number of challenges ...

A single algorithm can help robots make good decisions in real time. Story by Kimm Fesenmaier • 2w. I n 2018, Google DeepMind's AlphaZero program taught itself the games of chess, ...

The computer scientist Christoph Salge is trying to circumvent the need for rules that guide robots’ behavior. His strategy: Give them a goal of making us more powerful.

The algorithm, known as consensus complementarity control (C3), may prove to be an essential building block of future robots, translating directions from the output of artificial intelligence ...

Collaborative learning -- for robots: New algorithm Date: June 25, 2014 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Machine learning, in which computers learn new skills by looking for ...

The virtual robots weren’t given any instructions—they had to puzzle out how best to move forward for themselves, which is how the algorithm learns what does and doesn’t work.

Conscious, sentient robots are a lofty goal for artificial intelligence engineers. But right now, we can't even agree on what that would look like.

When we began our research on empathetic robots, we realized that algorithms similar to those that extract user sentiment from online comments could help us analyze emotion in speech.

The algorithm tries random movements, and gets a digital “reward” if it gets closer to the dog’s reference motion—basically a thumbs-up message that says that was good, do that kind of ...

A new AI-based algorithm does know, however, allowing it to design purpose-specific robots within a matter of seconds. The algorithm was developed by a team of American scientists led by ...

A fully autonomous robot that can quickly and reliably test materials, boosting both speed and accuracy in self-driving labs.
