 Yesterday at the RoboBusiness Conference in Boston iRobis cofounder Peter Nordin announced that he is currently developing a "complete cognitive software system" for robots. The intelligence software is expected to give robots a "previously unseen level of autonomy in decision making and operation," using reasoning and problem solving to learn increasingly complex tasks.From the article: Dr. Nordin is well-established internationally as a leading researcher in "genetic programming" (GP), a way of getting computers to create and maintain their own software. During the 1990s, he applied this approach in The Humanoid Project at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Some of the results were phenomenal. In the Chalmers' laboratory, robots began moving like babies, learning to crawl and balance and walk. They have since mastered such feats as climbing stairs and learning basic physical properties of objects and how to manipulate them. A four-legged robot with a broken leg would teach itself to walk efficiently on three legs and the world's first experience with sustained lift from robotic flapping wings (ornitopter) took place. The list goes on. This first version of the software is called "Brainstorm" and will be available to researchers and developers later this year. Source - Mens News Daily |
