The paper presents a novel cloud-based digital twin learning platform for teaching and training concepts of cognitive robotics. Instead of forcing interested learners or students to install a new operating system and bulky, fragile software onto their personal laptops just to solve tutorials or coding assignments of a single lecture on robotics, it would be beneficial to avoid technical setups and directly dive into the content of cognitive robotics. To achieve this, the authors utilize containerization technologies and Kubernetes to deploy and operate containerized applications, including robotics simulation environments and software collections based on the Robot operating System (ROS). The web-based Integrated Development Environment JupyterLab is integrated with RvizWeb and XPRA to provide real-time visualization of sensor data and robot behavior in a user-friendly environment for interacting with robotics software. The paper also discusses the application of the platform in teaching Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, Acquisition and Retrieval, and Task-Executives. The authors conclude that the proposed platform is a valuable tool for education and research in cognitive robotics, and that it has the potential to democratize access to these fields. The platform has already been successfully employed in various academic courses, demonstrating its effectiveness in fostering knowledge and skill development.

This story is part of Fix's What's Next Issue,which looks ahead to the ideas and innovations that will shape the climate conversation in 2022, and asks what it means to have hope now. Check out the full issue here. Imagine you're standing at the edge of a soybean field in Iowa. In the distance, a combine harvester guided by GPS rolls across a field that has been leveled with the aid of a laser, as the farmer at the wheel monitors weather data on her phone. These tools, part of an approach to agronomy called precision agriculture, promise to increase yields and reduce costs by maximizing efficiency.

The main reason behind this increase in demand for the courses and research in Artificial Intelligence Institutes in India is the availability of the best education and research opportunities in India. Courses and Research in Artificial Intelligence are increasing day by day in India. More students from different parts of the world enroll for the Courses and Research in Artificial Intelligence Institute in Delhi. The main reason behind this increase in demand for the courses and research in Artificial Intelligence Institutes in India is the availability of the best education and research opportunities in India. Courses in Artificial Intelligence Training in Delhi are also increasing day by day due to the increasing demand for these courses and research positions in India.

Colby College has hired a language processing expert to lead its newly formed Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence. Amanda Stent, considered one of the country's leading authorities on natural language processing – which gives computers the ability to understand human text and spoken words – will start in October. Stent most recently served as the natural language processing architect at Bloomberg L.P., where she led the People and Language AI Team. Stent has authored or co-authored more than 100 papers on natural language processing and is a regular speaker on the subject. She was also involved in the CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes) project that led to a range of AI applications, including the well-known virtual assistant Siri.

Deloitte's government and public services practice announced the new Deloitte Artificial Intelligence Institute for Government (DAIIG) today. Institute leaders outlined a set of commitments and actions to advance applied AI in the public sector by building a cross-sector community for research and shared expertise, and mentoring and growing the talent of the future. "As evidenced in the recent National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence report, advancing the use of artificial intelligence is a national imperative. While decisions and actions to accelerate AI innovation need to happen today, implementing AI brings ethical and technical challenges that are as complex as any we have faced in recent history," said Ed Van Buren, principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP and executive director of DAIIG. "Deloitte's AI Institute for Government is focused on efforts to actively help the public sector harness and shape this movement towards blending human and machine capabilities in a way that improves citizen services, promotes economic growth and recovery, and expands human opportunity" The institute is a hub for innovative perspectives, collaboration and research focused on all-things AI and related technologies for government.

The National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture are announcing an investment of more than $140 million to establish seven artificial intelligence institutes in the U.S. Two of the seven will be led by teams at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. They will support the work of researchers at the U. of I. and their partners at other academic and research institutions. Each of the new institutes will receive about $20 million over five years. The USDA-NIFA will fund the AI Institute for Future Agricultural Resilience, Management and Sustainability at the U. of I. Illinois computer science professor Vikram Adve will lead the AIFARMS Institute. The NSF will fund the AI Institute for Molecular Discovery, Synthetic Strategy and Manufacturing, also known as the Molecule Maker Lab Institute.

Researchers at the University of Buffalo have received a $316,000 grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency funded by the US Department of Defense, to develop an artificial intelligence capable of controlling swarms of up to 250 drones. To created the experimental AI, scientists from the university's Artificial Intelligence Institute will study video game players as they pilot autonomous swarms of digital military units in real time strategy games like StarCraft, Stellaris, and Company of Heroes. The team will collect data on how the players react to a wide variety of different tactical challenges as well as watching how they react to unexpected changes in the terrain or terms of battle. Researchers at the University of Buffalo's Artificial Intelligence Institute will study the way video game players make choices in real time strategy games like StarCraft and Company of Heroes to develop an AI that can control swarms of up to 250 drones'We don't want the AI system just to mimic human behavior; we want it to form a deeper understanding of what motivates human actions,' University of Buffalo's Souma Chowdhury told the school's news site. 'That's what will lead to more advanced AI.' The team will also collect a range of biometric data from the players, through eyetracking software and electroencephalograms, which monitors brain activity while they play.

The Veterans Affairs Department recently launched a National Artificial Intelligence Institute to coordinate and advance strategic vet-focused research and development efforts to harness the budding technology. "VA has a unique opportunity to be a leader in artificial intelligence," Secretary Robert Wilkie said in a statement. "VA's artificial intelligence institute will usher in new capabilities and opportunities that will improve health outcomes for our nation's heroes." Home to America's largest integrated health care system, the VA trains more doctors and nurses than any other entity in the nation and also houses the largest genomic knowledge base linked to health care information in the world. Throughout 2019, the agency unveiled a variety of deliberate investments and projects to leverage artificial intelligence to better meet veterans' needs.
