6 robotics companies to follow in 2019. PLEN Robotics ("the IoT of home appliances"), Amazon ("to begin seeding the robots in employees' homes"), Boston Dynamics (plans to commercialize SpotMini), Nvidia ("a new chip the company hopes will become the go-to brain for next-generation robots"), UBTech (Walker robot), and Segway ("Loomo a smart machine that toggles between a mini personal transporter and mobile robot sidekick").

So, is everyone already on #Minds?

So, is everyone already on #Minds?

I'm still with little over 200 followers there, a very small percentage from here. I've started my account there end of last year, so far it has been a great experience, very similar to #Google+.

#MeWe is more like #Facebook, didn't like it much for sharing #science and #technology news.

I can have access to most news that interest me ( #robotics #artificialintelligence #technology #science #health #eco etc) directly from my feed on Minds, you just need to follow the right people ;).

Check it out, let's keep in touch!

Japan's robot hotel lays off half the.

Originally shared by Wayne Radinsky

Japan's robot hotel lays off half the... robots. "Two velociraptor robots positioned at check-in were decommissioned because human workers essentially had to do their jobs for them and photocopy guests' passports manually.

"Two robot luggage carriers could only reach about 24 of the over 100 rooms in the hotel and failed in rain or snow. They would also often get stuck trying to pass by each other."

"The hotel's main concierge robot also didn't know how to answer questions about flight schedules and nearby tourist attractions. It has since been replaced by a human."

How Game Theory Can Bring Humans and Robots Closer Together

How Game Theory Can Bring Humans and Robots Closer Together

The research team used adaptive control and Nash equilibrium game theory to programme a robot that can understand its human user's behaviour in order to better anticipate their movements and respond to them.

The research is in Nature Machine Intelligence. (full open access)

"Trust is a fundamental principle in human relationships.

"Trust is a fundamental principle in human relationships. Ultimately, we all know that we cannot effectively work or live with people we don't trust, and who don't trust us back. As we can all agree, trust is built over time, but eroded quickly. This couldn't be more true than it is for relationships among colleagues, customers, partners and others. In business, without trust, there is little foundation.

The same is true for humans and technology. In particular, artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming engrained in the fabric of our lives, acting on our behalf. It helps us become more productive, maybe even helping us be happier and healthier. AI is taking on tasks that were traditionally done by humans in the workplace and otherwise, such as acting as our personal assistants and hiring our next co-worker, to driving our cars and assisting with our healthcare.

As this increasingly becomes the norm, we're establishing a partnership with AI that is rooted in mutual trust. This new social contract represents the need for not only humans to trust AI, but AI to trust humans."

"While AI is constantly getting better as it learns along the way, there could be dangers lurking for us in the future. We have seen fictional movies showing how AI-based systems take over the world and killer robots that could put an end to mankind. Well, we could see those days nearing soon unless we make sure that we limit the power of AI before it is too late. If we are not careful, vigil or cautious, AI could be manipulated by bad guys, and who knows what could be in store for us ahead."
