On this episode of, we introduce you to DoorDash's new delivery robot and discuss what the growing robot population means for humans. Coco delivery robots navigate the streets of Santa Monica, CA.

Earlier this week, DoorDash unveiled its own new autonomous robot called Dot. The company says it's part of its goal to have a "hybrid" model for deliveries. It's the latest sign of a renewed interest in the industry of delivery robots after years of challenges. WIRED's Aarian Marshall joins us to discuss why this matters for all of us, whether we're ordering in or not. Write to us at uncannyvalley@wired.com .

Hey, Louise, how are you doing? Yeah, Lauren is on a really exciting trip to Arizona that I'm sure we'll hear more about soon. So, as her editor, I am happy to fill in when she's off on an adventure.

The hype around delivery robots has fizzled, but DoorDash is still determined to launch Dot, an adorable red bot. It can ride on roads and in bike lanes, where it will face daunting challenges. DoorDash's new delivery robot is named Dot. When we first got close to Dot, DoorDash's new delivery robot, we looked right into its big blue, pixelated eyes and gave it a kick. It's not WIRED's policy to be mean to 350-pound hunks of plastic on wheels.

Although modern imaging technologies allow us to study connectivity between two distinct brain regions \textit{in-vivo}, an in-depth understanding of how anatomical structure supports brain function and how spontaneous functional fluctuations emerge remarkable cognition is still elusive. Meanwhile, tremendous efforts have been made in the realm of machine learning to establish the nonlinear mapping between neuroimaging data and phenotypic traits. However, the absence of neuroscience insight in the current approaches poses significant challenges in understanding cognitive behavior from transient neural activities. To address this challenge, we put the spotlight on the coupling mechanism of structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC) by formulating such network neuroscience question into an expressive graph representation learning problem for high-order topology. Specifically, we introduce the concept of \textit{topological detour} to characterize how a ubiquitous instance of FC (direct link) is supported by neural pathways (detour) physically wired by SC, which forms a cyclic loop interacted by brain structure and function.

The domain adaption (DA) problem on symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifolds has raised interest in the machine learning community because of the growing potential for the SPD-matrix representations across many non-stationary applicable scenarios. This paper generalizes the joint distribution adaption (JDA) to align the source and target domains on SPD manifolds and proposes a deep network architecture, Deep Optimal Transport (DOT), using the generalized JDA and the existing deep network architectures on SPD manifolds. The specific architecture in DOT enables it to learn an approximate optimal transport (OT) solution to the DA problems on SPD manifolds. In the experiments, DOT exhibits a 2.32% and 2.92% increase on the average accuracy in two highly non-stationary cross-session scenarios in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), respectively. The visualizational results of the source and target domains before and after the transformation also demonstrate the validity of DOT.

Success of a knowledge-based program depends on both competence and acceptability. It must perform well for it to be worth using, but is must be acceptable to users for it to be used. There are many dimensions to developing competent and acceptable knowledge based systems which can serve as "intelligent assistants" for problem solvers in science (see Shortliffe and Davis, 1975). One of these is the old AI problem of representation of knowledge. Since most previous work on representation has stressed its importance for problem-solving (e.g.
