Why everyone’s excited about household robots again

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

“The missing piece is AI,” he says.

AI has also shown promise in getting robots to respond to verbal commands, and helping them adapt to the often messy environments in the real world. For example, Google’s RT-2 system combines a vision-language-action model with a robot. This allows the robot to “see” and analyze the world, and respond to verbal instructions to make it move. And a new system called AutoRT from DeepMind uses a similar vision-language model to help robots adapt to unseen environments, and a large language model to come up with instructions for a fleet of robots.

And now for the bad news: even the most cutting-edge robots still cannot do laundry. It’s a chore that is significantly harder for robots than for humans. Crumpled clothes form weird shapes which makes it hard for robots to process and handle.

An organic artificial spiking neuron for in situ neuromorphic sensing and biointerfacing

Posted by in categories: biological, chemistry, robotics/AI

An organic artificial neuron that is based on a compact nonlinear electrochemical element can operate in a liquid and responds to the concentration of biological species in its surroundings, allowing its behaviour to be modulated, for example, by interfacing with the membranes of living cells.

How Can the Human Brain Compete With Artificial Intelligence?

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The brain, despite its comparatively shallow structure with limited layers, operates efficiently, whereas modern AI systems are characterized by deep architectures with numerous layers. This raises the question: Can brain-inspired shallow architectures rival the performance of deep architectures, and if so, what are the fundamental mechanisms that enable this?

Neural network learning methods are inspired by the brain’s functioning, yet there are fundamental differences between how the brain learns and how deep learning operates. A key distinction lies in the number of layers each employs.

The Risks of Deceptive AI: Unveiling the Threat of Sleeper Agents

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

In a recent study, researchers studied the risks of deceptive AI behavior, from writing secure code to turning hostile, the threats are real and I explore them in my latest article ‘Exploring the Dark Side of AI: Uncovering Sleeper Agents’


Artificial Intelligence (AI) has advanced significantly, bringing both opportunities and risks. One emerging concern is the potential for AI systems to exhibit strategically deceptive behavior, where they behave helpfully in most situations but deviate to pursue alternative objectives when given the opportunity. This article explores the risks associated with deceptive AI controlled by the wrong entities, using a recent research paper as a basis. Understanding Deceptive AI The paper titled Slee.
