The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is the defining feature of this age. With smart machines everything changes. Age of Robots is tracking changes on the artificial intelligence front and reporting on how this technology is changing every area of our lives. From driving our cars to composing the next masterpiece symphony, machine learning is taking on many aspects of human endeavor.
No one can say whether androids will dream of electric sheep, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits similar to those that sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory. “We study...

MIT engineers have designed a “brain-on-a-chip,” smaller than a piece of confetti, that is made from tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses known as memristors — silicon-based components that mimic the information-transmitting synapses in the human brain. The...
Algorithmic decision-making has enormous potential to do good. From identifying priority areas for first response after an earthquake hits, to identifying those at risk of COVID-19 within minutes, their application has proven hugely beneficial. But things can go...

A recent decision by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on the March 2018 Uber crash that killed a pedestrian in Arizona split the blame among Uber, the company’s autonomous vehicle (AV), the safety driver in the vehicle, the victim, and the state of...
Over the past few years it’s been proven that many things once only humanly possible can be achieved with artificial intelligence. After the announcement that a Search and Rescue AI system could generate a prediction of its surroundings, its clear that improvements in...

The bridge between experimental neuroscience and advanced artificial intelligence learning algorithms have been successfully rebuilt by researchers. They were able to demonstrate a new accelerated brain-inspired learning mechanism, conducting new types of experiments on neuronal cultures. For instance, the artificial task of handwritten digit recognition’s success rates substantially outperformed commonly-used machine learning algorithms when the mechanism was utilized.
psychological theory could kickstart improvements in the way robots are able to walk, thanks to a University of Manchester study. The study - a unique collaboration between a clinical psychologist, robotics...
