Developed in 2021, Ameca is the world's most advanced human-shaped robot representing the forefront of human-robotics technology. The robot uses microphones, cameras, and facial recognition software.
Ameca is the brainchild of Cornwall-based startup, Engineered Arts, who describe her as the 'world's most advanced robot'.
Engineered Arts describes Ameca as “the future face of robotics” and “the world's most advanced human-shaped robot.” It boasts that the machine is capable of “smooth, lifelike motion and advanced facial expression” and has the ability to “strike an instant rapport with anybody.”
In what could be a scene straight from science fiction, the AI-powered robot Ameca - described by its designers as the 'world' most advanced humanoid' - explained her terrifying 'nightmare AI scenario'.
Sophia is one of the most sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) humanoid robots able to interact with people and demonstrate humanlike expressions.
One of the best ways in which Sophia resembles a four-year-old is her lack of self-consciousness. Granted, it's a lot easier to not be self-conscious if one isn't conscious in the first place! Sophia continues to surprise the humans who created her and are part of her support system.
Sophia has two forms of locomotion available to her: her walking legs and her rolling base. While we have discussed her legs in a previous post, this post will focus on her mobile base, which utilizes rolling locomotion.
Weak AI can outperform humans on the specific tasks it is designed for, but it operates under far more constraints than even the most basic human intelligence. All the AI that's available today can be considered weak AI. Meanwhile, strong AI does not exist yet.
Open AI — ChatGPT
GPT-3 was released in 2020 and is the largest and most powerful AI model to date.
Sophia was first activated on Valentines Day, February 14, 2016. The robot, modeled after the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, Audrey Hepburn, and its inventor's wife, Amanda Hanson, is known for its human-like appearance and behavior compared to previous robotic variants.
Sophia is considered the most advanced humanoid robot. Sophia debuted in 2016, she was one of a kind, and her interaction with people was the most unlikely thing you can ever see in a machine.
In 2050, AI will transform the way we work automating routine tasks and enabling human workers to focus on more creative and strategic endeavors. AI powered tools will help professionals analyze large amounts of data identify trends and make better decisions.
In twenty years, nearly all data will become digitized, making it possible to use AI for decision-making and optimization. AI and automation will replace most blue-collar work and “make” products for minimal marginal cost.
Pre-order Little Sophia on Indiegogo
She is 14” tall and your robot friend that makes learning STEM, coding and AI a fun and rewarding adventure for kids 8+ years old. Little Sophia is scheduled for delivery in 2022.
Cassie the robot, produced by Agility Robotics at OSU, established a Guinness World Record for the fastest 100 meters by a bipedal robot with a time of 24.73 seconds this week. Cassie was created in 2017 and, last year, ran 5 kilometers around campus in 53 minutes untethered on a single battery charge.
AI is best suited for handling repetitive, data-driven tasks and making data-driven decisions. However, human skills such as creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and complex problem-solving still need to be more valuable and easily replicated by AI.
The United States is the clear leader in AI development, with major tech companies headquartered there leading the charge. The United States has indisputably become the primary hub for artificial intelligence development, with tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft at the forefront of AI-driven research.
The possibility of an AI takeover, like the one depicted in the movie Terminator 2, is no longer the stuff of science fiction but a real concern that experts in the field are grappling with. Cloud Artificial Intelligence (AI) really take over the World? The Answer, No. AI will not take over the world.
At the time of writing, in November 2022, the forecasters believe that there is a 50/50-chance for an 'Artificial General Intelligence' to be 'devised, tested, and publicly announced' by the year 2040, less than 20 years from now.
Artificial intelligence will affect nearly every profession, experts say, with office workers up first. Experts tell the Star artificial intelligence will eventually influence every profession — but white collar workers are first in line. That said, AI won't replace humans entirely, meaning now is the time to adapt.
As of the time of writing, it has raised just over $60,000 with 58 days to go, so there's a very good chance the campaign will be a success. A Little Sophia costs between $99 and $149, depending on when it's ordered, and Hanson expects to deliver the bots in December 2019.
The Hanson AI SDK controls Sophia's AI-based perception, NLP algorithms, open domain chat functionality, non-verbal language, low-level sensory input, and actuation controls.
While she doesn't have anything close to human intelligence, Sophia's mix of AI and scripting software allows her to hold a remarkably coherent conversation, and her lifelike appearance and ability to emulate and respond to human expressions is unparalleled in the world of robotics.
