10 must watch videos illustrating amazing applications of artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence has advanced over the years and it has transformed the world completely. Machines are becoming smarter each time and they are very intuitive and can perform a number of tasks at the same time without reducing their efficiency. Are you wondering what artificial intelligence is and what it can do? Look at self-driven cars which used to be imagination and are now a reality. Activities like booking appointments can now be done by machines and we have drones which can deliver orders to people's homes.


10 Must watch videos on Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

#artificialintelligence

Self-driving cars are no longer a figment of our imagination, they are here! As Google Duplex showed recently, machines can now book appointments for us, all the while sounding completely like a human! Drones have the ability to deliver orders to our doorstep and robots are taking over manufacturing and shipping functions. The world is well and truly being transformed by the far reaching potential and applications of Artificial Intelligence. From Boston Dynamic's robots to Amazon's AI solutions, machines are getting smarter, more intuitive and capable of multi-tasking without dropping their efficiency levels. In this article, we will take a look at a list of videos that show the level of intelligence, today's machines are capable of.


This motorcycle-riding robot is trying to set a speed record ZDNet

AI might be a hot topic but you'll still need to justify those projects. In partnership with Yamaha, robotics developer SRI has created a humanoid that can ride an unmodified motorcycle. Motorcycle racing is about the most thrilling lesson in physics and material science imaginable. In order to turn a motorcycle, riders need to lean. Thanks to some truly extraordinary tires, riders flirt with the terminal edge of physics at screaming speeds during race laps, leaning their bikes far enough to scrape knees, shoulders, and elbows.


Robots Take On Racetracks

Manufacturers often bring celebrities from motor sports to auto shows to glam up the booth and offer photo ops. Yamaha brought a racer to the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show this fall, one who had the audacity to challenge one of the winningest motorcycle racers in the world, Valentino Rossi. "I was created to surpass you," said this cheeky racer in a video. The thing is, the racer is a blue plastic humanoid robot with actuators instead of muscles and tendons. Yamaha engineers want to first get Motobot, as they call the rider, to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in a straight line on a regular motorcycle--throttle, clutch, and all.


World's First MotoBot Wows at Robotics Convention

"Finally, the enemy has been defeated," a toddler-sized robot announces to a captive audience inside the convention center in downtown San Jose as it enacts a scene from Star Wars. A few seconds later, it dances to "Thriller," takes a tumble, but gets back on its feet and belts out a song. It's a social robot, one that will even read you your email, and make cute conversation if you want it to. Nearby, the world's first MotoBot, or motorcycle robot, perched on a Yamaha YZF-R1M, does a great job of making regular motorcyclists seem pretty insignificant. Even as it sits still.
