arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

With continual advancements in technology, efforts to develop robots simulating human behavior have intensified. Cognitive robotics, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), has proven effective in surveying and research analysis. However, despite progress, human intervention remains necessary, and incorporating AI into robotic systems continues to pose challenges. This paper explores methodologies to integrate AI into robotic designs, aiming to enhance human-robot interactions. Several approaches are proposed to improve robotic performance, including routines for efficient control in varied environments and the incorporation of digital image processing for enhanced line-of-sight capabilities. A key contribution of this work is testing robotic systems in real-time environments to assess efficiency relative to existing models. Additionally, the paper introduces a robotic system with universal control capabilities, suitable for industrial applications, developed and programmed on the Arduino platform. Features such as GPS control for safe operations and progressive memory algorithms for efficient memory management are presented, offering advancements in both industrial and research applications.


We're Not Using AI to Its Fullest Human Potential

#artificialintelligence

We should be living in a golden age of science. For centuries, the scientific method was defined by two pillars--theory and experiment. Now, we live in the age of Artificial Intelligence, which adds a vital third pillar. Without advanced computation, according to leading scientific bodies, discoveries of the past decade, such as the detection of the Higgs boson, the discovery of new drugs like halicin, which can kill strains of bacteria resistant to all known antibiotics, or the observation of gravitational waves, "would have been impossible". But despite these advances, scientific innovation today is too often defined by new use cases for existing technologies or refining previous advancements, rather than the creation of entirely new fields of discovery.

Young scientists want machine learning revolution in Africa

#artificialintelligence

Young scientists want machine learning revolution in Africa Kudzai Mashininga 29 September 2022 Cameroon national Loic Elnathan Tiokou Fangang concluded his masters degree in mathematical sciences at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) earlier in 2022 and, as he awaits an opportunity to pursue a PhD in machine learning, he believes the dream of the institute's founders – of producing the next Einstein – has already been accomplished. AIMS is a network of six centres of excellence, which are based in South Africa, Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon, Tanzania and Rwanda. Students who join the institute get to work on driving the continent's STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) agenda. The founder of AIMS, South African physicist Neil Turok, in 2008 gave a speech in which he declared his wish that the next Einstein would be from Africa. In an interview with University World News, Fangang said that, each year, AIMS is producing African Einsteins as it invests in its students – and not just by equipping them with mathematical skills.


Irish teenager wins national award for 'deepfake' video detector

#artificialintelligence

A teenage student in Ireland has won a national science competition for developing technology that can more easily detect "deepfake" videos online. Greg Tarr, from County Cork, was declared the winner of the 2021 BT Young Scientist & Technologist of the Year award last week for his project, "Towards Deepfake Detection". The picture or audio of deepfake videos is altered by artificial intelligence (AI) to make it appear as though someone has said or done something they have not. The viral spread of deepfake videos has caused international concern, in an age of digital news consumption, and social media companies have come under renewed scrutiny on how to tackle the spread of this misinformation. An altered video, claiming to show US President-elect Joe Biden falling asleep during a television interview, was widely shared before November's election.


Temel Selected as WEF Young Scientist

CMU School of Computer Science

Zeynep Temel, a robotics researcher who uses inspiration from nature to design novel means of motion and locomotion for tiny robots, has been named by the World Economic Forum to its Young Scientists Class of 2020. Temel, an assistant professor in the Robotics Institute, and Stephanie Sydlik, an assistant professor of chemistry, are the latest Carnegie Mellon University faculty members to join the WEF's Young Scientists community. The distinction recognizes scientific rising stars under the age of 40 who are pursuing high-impact research. "I am very excited to be a part of the WEF Young Scientists community and incredibly honored to be representing CMU," Temel said. "It will be a great adventure to learn from amazing scientists and develop projects that will improve the state of the world.


SF Studios Preps English-Language Sci-Fi Series on Artificial Intelligence (EXCLUSIVE)

#artificialintelligence

SF Studios, the Scandinavian company celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, is developing an English-language series based on Max Tegmark's 2007 bestseller "Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence." The science-fiction series will follow a group of young scientists working at a startup who discover the first artificial intelligence and envision ways in which it could be used to create a better world, which leads to a clash of ideals. The show is a fictionalized treatment of Tegmark's exploration of the ramifications of AI, which was translated in multiple languages and published around the world. Fredrik Wikström Nicastro, the senior VP of international production, said the "series will be character-driven as well as boasts a dramatic dimension and a tone similar to'The Social Network' and'Her.'" The series will also explore ways in which AI can affect crime, war, justice, jobs and society through the journey of these young scientists, said Wikström Nicastro, whose production credits include "Borg/McEnroe" and "Easy Money."


Data science can tell us which political party is dominating

#artificialintelligence

Young scientists from the University of Auckland and Victoria University of Wellington have come up with a novel way to figure out which party or parties in New Zealand's Parliament are dominating any particular political debate or discourse. Young scientists from the University of Auckland and Victoria University of Wellington have come up with a novel way to figure out which party or parties in New Zealand's Parliament are dominating any particular political debate or discourse. Te Pūnaha Matatini Whanau members Ben Curran and Demival Vasques Filho (University of Auckland), and Kyle Higham and Elisenda Ortiz (Victoria University of Wellington) collaborated on the project, and their research findings have just been published in PLoS ONE, a leading international scientific journal. Their paper, 'Look who's talking: Two-mode networks as representations of a topic model of New Zealand Parliamentary speeches,' shows how the popularity of different topics debated in Parliament change over time, and proposes an approach that can reveal which party or parties are dominating the debate within certain topics. "It is difficult for any society to simply and easily track political debate and discussion over time," says co-author Demival Vasques Filho.


Opinion: If you think software code is ethically neutral, you're lying to yourself Sci-Tech DW.COM 30.06.2016

Google's Chief Internet Evangelist Vinton Cerf, left, and Joachim Müller-Jung of the FAZ newspaper's science and nature section, right. But Vinton (Vint) Cerf, a Google vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist, was also on the panel. Cerf had fun regaling the audience with stories of Google's self-driving experiments and how one of their cars had hit a bus but that it was "only at about 3 kilometers per hour (2 mph)," and how in other cases Google's autonomous cars had been rear-ended by other cars, driven by humans. To suggest code is neutral and without philosophy or ethics is to suggest a future where we can happily say to bereaved parents, "I'm terribly sorry that my car ran over your child, but it was the car's fault, I was in the back having sex."
