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

Known as M-Blocks, the robots are cubes with no external moving parts. Nonetheless, they’re able to climb over and around one another, leap through the air, roll across the ground, and even move while suspended upside down from metallic surfaces. . . . From the Description published with video.

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

ENB339 lecture 1: Introduction to robot vision

Published on Sep 3, 2012

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

From IEEE Spectrum By Jason Falconer Posted 

Since bipedal robots took their first steps, the majority has been designed with the same basic joint/actuator configuration in their legs. This design, based on a simplified human leg, uses just six motors (three for the hip, one for the knee, and two for the ankle), and though it proved successful, it has also shown several limitations over the last 25 years. Now researchers at the Humanoid Robotics Institute at Waseda University (the birthplace of the first real humanoid robots) have set out to reinvent the wheel, er, the leg, by developing an entirely new shank that more closely replicates human walking. . . .

May 24, 2013 — Robots could become a lot more ‘sensitive’ thanks to new artificial skins and sensor technologies developed by European scientists. Leading to better robotic platforms that could one day be used in industry, hospitals and even at home.

The new capabilities, and a production system for building touch-sensitivity into different robots, will improve the way robots work in unconstrained settings, as well as their ability to communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans. . . . Read Complete Report

Engineer Dallas Goecker attends meetings, jokes with colleagues and roams the office building just like other employees at his company in Silicon Valley.

But Goecker isn’t in California. He’s more than 2,300 miles away, working at home in Seymour, Indiana.

It’s all made possible by the Beam — a mobile video-conferencing machine that he can drive around his company’s offices and workshops in Palo Alto. The five-foot-tall device, topped with a large video screen, gives him a physical presence that makes him and his colleagues feel like he’s actually there. . . . Read Complete Report

December 18, 2012 by Carol Ness

What if robots and humans, working together, were able to perform tasks in surgery and manufacturing that neither can do alone?

That’s the question driving new research by UC Berkeley robotics experts Ken Goldberg and Pieter Abbeel and colleagues from four other universities, who were awarded a $3.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation. Their work is part of the first $50 million in funding for the National Robotics Initiative, announced in 2011 with the goal of exploring how robots can enhance the work of humans rather than replacing them, “The emerging generation of robots are more aware than oblivious, more social than solitary, and more like companions that tools,” . . .”Read Complete Report

“Defense spending creates jobs” is an argument that politicians often make to justify the ever-expanding Pentagon budget. A new factory from defense firm Raytheon shows something quite the contrary, though. At one new Raytheon plant, robots are doing most of the work. RT’s Kristine Frazao explains.
