From NBC News Nidhi Subbaraman 4 hours ago (10/21/13)

A proposal to pause the development of “killer robot” technology is seeing a surge of interest from robotics researchers as well as the representatives of key nations at the United Nations this month.

At a UN General Assembly First Committee on Disarmament and International Security side event Monday, mission delegates from Egypt, France, and Switzerland voiced an interest in regulating “killer robots” — completely autonomous weapon systems — in warfare. They are some of the first international voices backing ideas that the Human Rights Watch and Campaign to Stop Killer Robots have been championing for about a year. . . . Read Complete Report

In 2011, when an MIT senior named John Romanishin proposed a new design for modular robots to his robotics professor, Daniela Rus, she said, “That can’t be done.”

Two years later, Rus showed her colleague Hod Lipson, a robotics researcher at Cornell University, a video of prototype robots, based on Romanishin’s design, in action. “That can’t be done,” Lipson said. . . . Read Complete Report

Robots replacing Humans . . . EDITOR

From Science Daily 

Oct. 7, 2013 — Object recognition is one of the most widely studied problems in computer vision. But a robot that manipulates objects in the world needs to do more than just recognize them; it also needs to understand their orientation. Is that mug right-side up or upside-down? And which direction is its handle facing?

To improve robots’ ability to gauge object orientation, Jared Glover, a graduate student in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is exploiting a statistical construct called the Bingham distribution. . . . Read Complete Report

QUT ENB339 Lecture 2/1.

In this lecture we discuss the problem of sensing for robots, absolute and relative, and the particular advantages of vision for animals and robots. We then have a brief introduction to using MATLAB and the Machine Vision Toolbox for some simple image processing applications.

Workers find themselves replaced by robots (With Video Report)

October 6, 2013 / dgcrenshaw / No comments

Robots Replacing Humans is a futuristic certainty that we have been following here at THEI for years. It’s scary enough by its self, but combine it with the controller de-population plans documented in the Agenda 21 contingency and it becomes downright horrifying. Once they teach robots to build themselves, and they are working on it as we have documented, the controllers might scale back on the number of us they think they need to take care of their elitist asses. . .

The robots are coming! The robots are coming!

No, that’s not the breathless opening line from a new science-fiction movie. Rather, it’s the sober, real-world prediction from a growing number of workplace analysts.

According to the MIT Technology Review, 45 percent of the jobs that exist today will disappear during the next 20 years because of advances in automation.

Yes, that means you could get replaced by a robot. . . . Read Complete Report

In a recent paper entitled, The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerization, research fellows from Oxford and Exeter assert that almost half of US employment could be at risk for computerization. And because corporations are singularly focused on their bottom line and profits, there is a good chance they will happily give all our jobs to robots. The Resident (aka Lori Harfenist) discusses.

Human Robot Getting Closer: iCub Robot Must Learn from Its Experiences

Sep. 27, 2013 — A robot that feels, sees and, in particular, thinks and learns like us. It still seems like science fiction, but if it’s up to University of Twente (UT) researcher Frank van der Velde, it won’t be. In his work he wants to implement the cognitive process of the human brain in robots. The research should lead to the arrival of the latest version of the iCub robot in Twente. This human robot (humanoid) blurs the boundaries between robot and human. . . . Read Complete Report

The recent U.N call for a moratorium on the development of remotely controlled weapon systems has raised some interesting issues and debate. While the tone of the announcement by U.N Special Rapporteur, Christof Heyns, rather dryly refers to LARs or lethal autonomous robots the story was then picked up by numerous news sites with headlines pitting killer robots against the U.N.

The subject of intelligent machines and what they mean for humanity is open to much interpretation but the majority of opinion often seems to suggest a rather dysoptian future. From serious academic papers – War in the age of intelligent machines to widespread blockbuster entertainment –Terminator Salvation – the picture painted is not too rosy. While there are some commentators that suggest machines will be our wise, helpful companions, using their superior brain power simply to ease our lives, this is not the default position. . . .

Another “Robots into Humans” Archive piece. . . EDITOR

From National Geographic Brian by Handwerk Published July 18, 2013

Would a robot serving you coffee in bed make waking up easier on weekday mornings? Could a household robot help an elderly relative who is living alone? How would you like to climb into a robotic car and eat breakfast with the kids while you’re all driven to school and work?

These scenarios may sound like science fiction, but experts say they’re a lot closer to becoming reality than you probably think.

Brown University roboticist Chad Jenkins expects a near-term robot revolution that will echo the computing revolution of recent decades. And he says it will be driven by enabling robots to learn more like humans do—by watching others demonstrate behaviors and by asking questions. . . . Read Complete Report
