Robot is a mechanical intelligent agent which can perform tasks on its own, or with guidance. In practice a robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine which is guided by computer and electronic programming. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and come in those two basic types: those which are used for research into human-like systems, such as ASIMO and TOPIO, as well as those into more defined and specific roles, such as Nano robots and Swarm robots; and helper robots which are used to make or move things or perform menial or dangerous tasks, such as Industrial robots or mobile or servicing robots. Another common characteristic is that, by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. — Wikipedia

- AI teachers must be effective and communicate...on October 30, 2020 at 4:25 pm
The increase in online education has allowed a new type of teacher to emerge -- an artificial one. But just how accepting students are of an artificial instructor remains to be seen. That's why researchers are working to examine student perceptions of artificial intelligence-based teachers.
- Trust levels in AI predicted by people's...on October 29, 2020 at 3:58 pm
Relationship psychologists have shown that people's trust in artificial intelligence (AI) is tied to their relationship or attachment style.
- How computer scientists and marketers can create...on October 28, 2020 at 12:29 pm
A failure to incorporate behavioral insight into technological developments may undermine consumers' experiences with AI.
- Dog training methods help researchers teach...on October 26, 2020 at 5:58 pm
With a training technique commonly used to teach dogs to sit and stay, computer scientists showed a robot how to teach itself several new tricks, including stacking blocks. With the method, the robot, named Spot, was able to learn in days what typically takes a month.
- 'Spooky' similarity in how brains and computers...on October 22, 2020 at 3:26 pm
The brain detects 3D shape fragments (bumps, hollows, shafts, spheres) in the beginning stages of object vision - a newly discovered strategy of natural intelligence that researchers also found in artificial intelligence networks trained to recognize visual objects.
