Emotional Robots: Software Empowers Robots To Learn When A Person Is Sad, Happy Or Angry

A robot with empathy sounds like the stuff of sci-fi movies, but with the aid of neural networks European researchers are developing robots in tune with our emotions. Feelix Growing is developing software empowering robots that can learn when a person is sad, happy or angry.

Robots of the Future Will Show Empathy, Be Good Listeners

European researchers are developing a software that will give robots the power to learn when a person is sad, happy or angry. The Feelix Growing project is putting together simple robots that can detect different parameters—facial expressions, voice and proximity—to determine emotional states. The aim of the project is to develop a robot that can serve humans with special needs, such as the ill and the elderly. Using adaptable neural networks, the robot can learn the correct way to respond to people's emotions from experience.

Robots and Slaves

Our science fiction reading group is discussing a shorter work this month, says Mark. It is Jack Williamson's novelette With Folded Hands, which appeared first in Astounding Stories in 1947. In the story a man who sells in mechanicals - basically robots - finds his business dying when new superior robots come along to compete. The new robots, streamlined black humanoids - are in every way superior to the robots he had been selling. But the new robots have more than superior technology; they have an ideology.

Comment: These robots mean business

I can name many robots, but not examples of how robots are improving my quality of life. One reason for this is that even in 2008 much of my knowledge of robots is based on fiction. The world is full of robots large, small and microscopic; it is just that I am not aware of their importance to me.

Motoman EH-Series New "Expert Handling" Robots

"Motoman's EH-series 'Expert Handling' robots set a new standard for speed with a large robot," said a company spokesperson. "Compared to general-purpose robots, the EH-series offers up to a 22% increase in speed depending on model. These high-speed, high payload robots are specifically designed for high duty cycle material handling and offer superior performance in machine tending and material handling applications. Large work envelopes and the ability to bend over backwards, allow tools to be stored behind the robot, allowing better clearance for maintenance. Five EH models are available. These robots include an IP67 rated wrist for protection in machining environments.

Soft and squishy chemical robots will one day squeeze through tight spots then expand to 10 times larger, offering an advantage over rigid robots. Once a mission is complete, a chembot would biodegrade.

Georgia Tech, Bryn Mawr College and Microsoft Fund New Curriculum Using Personal Robots at 28 Schools

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 6, 2008--Through the Institute for Personal Robots in Education (IPRE)-a partnership between Georgia Tech College of Computing, Bryn Mawr College and Microsoft Research-28 high schools and universities are being provided the opportunity to enhance their introductory Computer Science curriculum using personal robots as a context for teaching foundational computing skills. Winners will share $250,000 and receive paperback book-sized robots called Scribblers, enhanced with special IPRE hardware technology, along with the IPRE software and class text.

Robots perform the work in Denmark

Robots are increasingly becoming the new colleague at the Danish workplaces. The number of robots has over the past 12 years increased from 858 to now 3626. From 2002 the actual growth in the number of robots has been 11 percent annually, shows a study carried out by Dansk Erhverv, according to Berlingske Business.

EPSON Robots Announces New G-Series Scara Lineup

EPSON Robots, a leader in PC controlled, precision robots, has introduced the EPSON G-Series, the next generation, high performance SCARA Robots for its Micro PowerDrive Controllers.

Benchmarking Hardware RAID vs. Linux Kernel Software RAID

"The main surprise in the first set of tests, on RAID-5 performance, is that block input is substantially better for software RAID; ext3 got 385MB/sec in software against 330MB/sec in hardware. The hardware dominates in block output, getting 322MB/sec aginst the 174MB/sec achieved by software for aligned XFS, making for a 185% speed increase for hardware over software. These differences in block output are not as large when using the ext3 filesystem. Block rewrite is almost identical for ext3 in software and hardware, whereas the rewrite difference becomes 128MB/sec to 109MB/sec for hardware to software respectively when using XFS."

Robots reinvigorate computer science classrooms

August 8, 2008 Education has long been based around the three R's, but now for computer science students throughout the U.S., a fourth R is making ground - Robotics. A program that began in 2006 through the Institute for Personal Robots in Education (IPRE) using robots as the circuit breaker in introductory computer science courses is being expanded to 28 more high schools and universities. The grants give access to a share of $250,000 along with the tools that form the basis of the scheme: a book sized robot called Scribbler and its Bluetooth enabled add-on board known as Fluke, plus IPRE software and class text. Gizmag spoke to Dr. Tucker Balch, director of IPRE and professor of interactive computing at the Georgia Tech College of Computing, to learn more.

Small, cheap, swarming robots unveiled

The world's cheapest robots capable of forming swarms are the forerunners of a new generation of robots capable of a range of jobs, from exploring Mars to closing off motorways after an accident and charting pollution spills on Earth. Inspired by bees, ants and other social creatures, the 50p sized robots made their debut at the Eleventh International on Artificial Life in Winchester and mark a breakthrough in "swarm robotics".
