Two Robots Do Some Dirty Dancing - Technabob

#artificialintelligence

Actually, what you are about to watch is a video from Agility Robotics of Cassie, a two-legged, ostrich-inspired robot and one of Boston Dynamics' Spot quadruped robots. They are having a creepy little playdate. When these robots get a bit more advanced, a playdate will consist of tearing some poor human limb from limb, then creating modern art on the walls with blood, but for now, it's just practicing those dance moves that clearly say, "YAY! After watching this video, the real question here is, "Are they going to have robot sex later?" Or am I misreading the situation?


These Robots Exercise, Sweat, And Are Ready for a Montage - Technabob

Last year we showed you Kengoro, a Japanese robot that exercises and even sweats. Well, now the machine is back in the news and he brought a friend named Kenshiro. The pair like to get buff, compare muscle mass, high five each other, and say "bro" a lot, before filming Rocky-style montages of more workouts. You're right, I made a lot of that up, but once the technology exists, that stuff will happen too. These two humanoid robots come from a team of Japanese researchers from the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology at The University of Tokyo.


Learn How Self-Driving Cars Work - Technabob

With continual advancements in artificial intelligence, it won't be long before machine learning touches more and more aspects of our lives – including the way we drive. As more autonomous cars hit the road, the way we can expect to drive in the future is shifting. In this course, you'll learn the robotics fundamentals and machine learning concepts that go into self-driving cars. The course will help you develop an understanding of artificial neural networks, and some of the complex algorithms that are applied in these vehicles. Increase your knowledge about machine learning with The Robotics & Machine Learning of Self-Driving Cars.
