Artificial intelligence, the all too familiar term, gets closer to the real thing as scientists and engineers work hard to integrate more and more human responses into these machines
Robotic technology has improved tremendously during the last few decades. But latest innovations promise that future robots will not only mimic humans in their daily functions, but will also have emotions.
Artificial intelligence, the all too familiar term gets closer to the real thing as scientists and engineers work hard to integrate more and more human responses into these machines.

| Robotics: Next Step for AI, the Battlefield |
|
Howard S. Smith, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology-trained engineer and artificial intelligence expert, recently published a new book, “I, robot,” a techno thriller that serves as a modern update to the original “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov in the 1940’s. Smith was the founder and president of Optimal Robotics, which patented, designed, built and installed the first supermarket self-checkout machines, which were originally called “service robots.” Smith currently offers consulting services in the area of robotics and artificial intelligence through Robot Binaries & Press Corp.
An interview of Smith by GCN after the break.

| Robotics: Robots building Robots, The Near-Future Economy |
|
Robotic companies like iRobot corporation (Creator of everything from a vacuum robot to military machines) have seen incredible growth as of late, but the latest advancement in robotics, is coming from behind the scenes, at their factories.
Companies like Vancouver based Braintech Inc who is standing out in the field of robotic sight, are making factory machines much more efficient. With advanced 3-D sight, it's robots can pick randomly placed items out of racks and bins, and put them straight into the assembly line. This is on top of the obvious uses that personal and military robots would have for such advancements.

| Robotics: ckBot Can Walk, Crawl, and Rebuild Itself |
|
A robot that reconstructs itself after exploding. It sounds like an
unstoppable cyborg played by a certain state governor, but the ckBot
has a long way to go before it can come close to exterminating the
human race.
The ckBot is the brainchild of Mechanical Engineering professor Mark
Yim and Computer Science professor C.J. Taylor. It is a robot that can
walk, crawl and re-assemble itself. It can also rearrange itself to
change how it moves.
Both Yim and Taylor said the ckBot has potential for planetary
exploration and search and rescue work in the event of a building
collapse.

| Robotics: AI Gives Gliders a Lift |
|
A British company is working on an artificial intelligence system that examines clouds to find areas in the sky where rising air creates the lift that allows gliders to sustain flight and powered aircraft to prolong their journeys.
The on-board system being developed by Roke Manor Research uses video feeds to collect information about clouds, ground surface conditions and other elements, then crunches the data to develop flight paths that steer gliders toward rising air.

| Robotics: Crime-fighting robots 'by 2040' |
|
Machines could take over many crime-fighting tasks from the police by 2040, a leading British robotics expert has said.
Professor Noel Sharkey believes that by 2084 advanced robots will have human-like features and will be able to detect weapons as well as recognising drunks and aggressive behavior in large areas.
Prof Sharkey, who is Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at Sheffield University, said his research is based on trends in robotic developments in Japan, China, South Korea, Israel, USA and UK.

| Robotics: Intimate Sex with Robots by 2050 |
|
Robots will make attractive companions capable of fulfilling us sexually and emotionally by 2050, thanks to advances in their appearance, senses, personalities and capacity to fall in love, says artificial intelligence expert David Levy.
"There is love and there is sex. Sex, I think, will happen much sooner," Levy told CTV.ca.
He figures it will take roughly 40 years for artificial intelligence to develop to the point where robots are fully capable of human interactions such as reading gestures, conversing, and even getting intimate.

This website was created in memory of the ChatbotFriends website which inspired me to delve deeper into the topic of Chatbots (Chatterbots). I originally started it as a replacement when that site went down, but we have since branched out a lot. We were originally the Chatbot Hub and focused mainly on chatbots but, with the growth of the site, we decided to expand out to other similar aspects of AI and rename ourselves "AI Hub". I hope that all of the visitors can be inspired by what Artificial Intelligence can accomplish.
