The end of IKEA instructions? 3D-printed wood can morph into chairs

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Tables and chairs that self-assemble from 3D-printed wood could spell an end to the nightmare of trying to assemble flat-pack furniture. Scientists in Israel have created a printable'wood ink' that can be programmed to morph into complex shapes as it dries, like domes, helices and even Pringle shapes. The experts have so far printed designs that are only a few inches long, but they aim to produce much larger objects, like chairs, tables and shelves. In the future, large wooden products could be shipped flat to a destination and then dried by the customer to form the final shape at home. Pictured is the printed wood ink before it has been dried.

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is defined as the intelligence displayed by machines, while natural intelligence is the term coined for the intelligence demonstrated by humans. Over the years, AI has developed multiple applications such as search engines, recommendation systems, and self-driving cars, along with the capability of machines to understand human speech in personal assistants such as Siri and Cortana. As an academic discipline, artificial intelligence was founded in the 1950s after Alan Turing's "I propose to consider the question'can machines think'?" in the academic journal "Mind". However, major advancements came decades later. According to Allied Market Research, the global artificial intelligence market was worth $65.48 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $1.58 trillion by 2030 at a CAGR of 38%.

#artificialintelligence

David Millรกn Escrivรก was eight years old when he wrote his first program on an 8086 PC with BASIC language, which enabled the 2D plotting of BASIC equations. He started with his computer development relationship and created many applications and games. In 2005, he completed his studies in IT from the Universitat Politรฉcnica de Valencia with honors in human-computer interaction supported by Computer Vision with OpenCV (v0.96). He had a final project based on this subject and published it on HCI Spanish Congress. In 2014, he completed his Master's degree in artificial intelligence, computer graphics, and pattern recognition, focusing on pattern recognition and computer vision.

Service Robots in a Bakery Shop: A Field Study

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this paper, we report on a field study in which we employed two service robots in a bakery store as a sales promotion. Previous studies have explored public applications of service robots public such as shopping malls. However, more evidence is needed that service robots can contribute to sales in real stores. Moreover, the behaviors of customers and service robots in the context of sales promotions have not been examined well. Hence, the types of robot behavior that can be considered effective and the customers' responses to these robots remain unclear. To address these issues, we installed two tele-operated service robots in a bakery store for nearly 2 weeks, one at the entrance as a greeter and the other one inside the store to recommend products. The results show a dramatic increase in sales during the days when the robots were applied. Furthermore, we annotated the video recordings of both the robots' and customers' behavior. We found that although the robot placed at the entrance successfully attracted the interest of the passersby, no apparent increase in the number of customers visiting the store was observed. However, we confirmed that the recommendations of the robot operating inside the store did have a positive impact. We discuss our findings in detail and provide both theoretical and practical recommendations for future research and applications.

Visualize your Amazon Lookout for Metrics anomaly results with Amazon QuickSight

#artificialintelligence

One of the challenges encountered by teams using Amazon Lookout for Metrics is quickly and efficiently connecting it to data visualization. The anomalies are presented individually on the Lookout for Metrics console, each with their own graph, making it difficult to view the set as a whole. An automated, integrated solution is needed for deeper analysis. In this post, we use a Lookout for Metrics live detector built following the Getting Started section from the AWS Samples, Amazon Lookout for Metrics GitHub repo. After the detector is active and anomalies are generated from the dataset, we connect Lookout for Metrics to Amazon QuickSight.


Challenges in Applying Robotics to Retail Store Management

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

An autonomous retail store management system entails inventory tracking, store monitoring, and anomaly correction. Recent attempts at autonomous retail store management have faced challenges primarily in perception for anomaly detection, as well as new challenges arising in mobile manipulation for executing anomaly correction. Advances in each of these areas along with system integration are necessary for a scalable solution in this domain.
