More room for robots in the post-pandemic workplace – The Australian Financial Review

Posted: July 21, 2020 at 12:02 pm

"We soon realised that we were going to have to move 250,000 people within three days ... to work from home."

Accenture used bots and AI to determine whether staff could work from home effectively as well as to help streamline workloads during COVID-19.

"Previously it would require a human to decide where to route those problems and what we've found now is that AI can take over that role extremely accurately and be able to start to augment and route the workload across our workforce and we're using that a lot right now to be able to balance the workload across various teams," Mr Higgins said.

Vanessa Sulikowski said AI technology won't replace workers but will assist in post-pandemic workplaces. Janie Barrett

Vanessa Sulikowski from Cisco predicts artificial intelligence could come to play a hugely beneficial role in the post-pandemic workplace.

"So areas like health and safety, wellness, personal productivity, engagement, inclusiveness and nurturing talent," she said.

"How can AI technology assist us in these areas now that we will all be working distributed and working across different workspaces?"

AI may also have a role to play in helping to ensure staff feel safe when they return to the workplace, such as determining if rooms need cleaning, helping to adhere to social distancing guidelines or voice technology as part of contactless office solutions.

Dr Sue Keay, from CSIRO's Data 61, told the panel there had been a surge in demand for AI solutions and robotics technologies to give companies an edge during the pandemic.

"Mainly to increase efficiency but also to capture data and to help with better decision-making," she said.

"This is something I think we really need to grasp with both hands and try and make the most of this opportunity."

But it was vital employers supported workers in using or upskilling in such technology so "it can augment their potential rather than being seen as a threat".

AI could also help boost productivity or determine how engaged an employee is, according to Ms Sulikowski.

"Using metadata to determine what it is you actually focus on: what messages do you respond to most quickly, who are the people you work with frequently, what are the meetings you never miss and what are you ignoring," she said.

"It can determine if my communication habits have changed, and my gestures and tone and sentiment is different. Am I potentially lonely? Is that a signal for my manager to check in?"

NBN's Kathrine Dyer: "It's unquestionable that we're on the very verge of a very profound change to the way Australians live and work."Janie Barrett

Research by NBN Co found that 81 per cent of Australians who have been working from home reported it has been a positive experience.

"It's unquestionable that we're on the very verge of a very profound change to the way Australians live and work," Kathrine Dyer, from NBN Co, told the Future Briefing on Tuesday.

Figures from NBN Co reveal workers have been using 70 per cent of data during the day and during peak period, downloads have increased by up to 32 per cent compared with pre-COVID-19.

Beetles Wearing Tiny, Robotic Camera Backpacks Give Bugs-Eye View of the World – Smithsonian Magazine

Posted: at 12:02 pm

To understand the world at the scale of a bug, a team of scientists decided to see like one.

By studying the way insects eyes and head movements, they created a tiny robotic camera to ride on a beetles back. In a study published Wednesday in Science Robotics, researchers explain how their work tests the limits of miniature cameras.

Essentially a GoPro for beetles, the device is a fully wireless, power-autonomous, mechanically steerable vision system, the researchers write. The camera sits atop a robotic arm that can move up to 60 degrees and capture panoramic shots or track moving objects.

"Vision is so important for communication and for navigation, but it's extremely challenging to do it at such a small scale. As a result, prior to our work, wireless vision has not been possible for small robots or insects, University of Washington engineer Shyam Gollakota, senior author, tells Sarah McQuate of University of Washington News.

The camera is extremely lightweight, measuring about 250 milligrams, or around one-tenth the weight of a playing card, according to Rob Picheta of CNN.

Vision for insects can demand high amounts of energy, so many develop systems in which the head moves independently of the body. So, instead of having advanced peripheral vision which requires lots of energy, the bug simply turns its head for a higher resolution look.

The researchers camera mimics insect head movement to cut down on energy usage and maintain balance. The tiny camera is attached to a mechanical arm that scientists can steer to direct the camera at a certain object, or to get a wider view. This way, the shot is higher resolution than it would be if the camera had an energy-sapping, wide-angle lens.

By combining these two different things living animals with sensors youre basically getting the best of both worlds, Gollakota tells Donna Lu of New Scientist.

The camera is powered by a lithium polymer battery and can stream continuously for over an hour. Scientists can also program the camera to only capture footage when the beetle is moving, as sensed with an accelerometer, increasing battery life up to six hours. For future versions, researchers are looking to use other power sources, CNN reports.

The camera captures monochromatic first-person footage at a resolution of 160-by-120 pixels, at a rate or between one and five frames per second. The video is transmitted via Bluetooth to a smartphone and can be controlled from up to 120 meters away, or just over the length of a football field, according to UW News.

For this test, two species of beetles were outfitted: the death-feigning beetle (asbolus laevis) and the pinacate bettle (Eleodes nigrina). Researchers reported all the test beetles remained alive a year after the experiment.

There is currently no way to control the beetles movement. But researchers are hoping that they can outfit many more beetles to more thoroughly map environments.

As they spread out you can collect enough information that you dont need to control the insects, Gollakota tells New Scientist.

The camera could be used to explore and map remote environments or help biologists understand movement in certain terrains.

"There are so many questions you could explore, such as how does the beetle respond to different stimuli that it sees in the environment?" co-lead author Vikram Iyer tells UW News. "But also, insects can traverse rocky environments, which is really challenging for robots to do at this scale. So, this system can also help us out by letting us see or collect samples from hard-to-navigate spaces."

Creating such a powerful camera that is so light and virtually undetectable raises questions about the implications for covert surveillance. The scientists acknowledge the privacy concerns.

"As researchers we strongly believe that it's really important to put things in the public domain so people are aware of the risks and so people can start coming up with solutions to address them," Gollakota tells CNN.

In addition to the camera-laden beetles, the team developed a small robot with steerable vision that allows them to track objects with 26 to 84 times lower energy than moving the whole robot. Their work could provide a key step in making more functional miniature robots.

Festos latest biomimetic robots are a flying feathered bird and ball-bottomed helper arm – TechCrunch

Posted: at 10:07 am

You could be excused for thinking that German robotics company Festo does nothing but put together fabulous prototype robots built to resemble kangaroos, jellyfish, and other living things. They do in fact actually make real industrial robots, but its hard not to marvel at their biomimetic experiments; Case in point, the feathered BionicSwift and absurd BionicMobileAssistant motile arm.

Festo already has a flying bird robot I wrote about it almost 10 years ago. They even made a flying bat as a follow-up. But the BionicSwift is more impressive than both because, in an effort to more closely resemble its avian inspiration, it flies using artificial feathers.

Image Credits: Festo

The individual lamellae [i.e. feathers] are made of an ultralight, flexible but very robust foam and lie on top of each other like shingles. Connected to a carbon quill, they are attached to the actual hand and arm wings as in the natural model, Festo writes in its description of the robot.

The articulating lamellae allow the wing to work like a birds, forming a powerful scoop on the downstroke to push against the air, but separating on the upstroke to produce less resistance. Everything is controlled on-board, including the indoor positioning system that the bird was ostensibly built to demonstrate. Flocks of BionicSwifts can fly in close quarters and avoid each other using an ultra wideband setup.

Festos BionicMobileAssistant seems like it would be more practical, and in a way it is, but not by much. The robot is basically an arm emerging from a wheeled base or rather a balled one. The spherical bottom is driven by three omniwheels, letting it move easily in any direction while minimizing its footprint.

The hand is a showcase of modern robotic gripper design, with all kinds of state of the art tech packed in there but the result is less than the sum of its parts. What makes a robotic hand good these days is less that it has a hundred sensors in the palm and fingers and huge motility for its thumb, but rather intelligence about what it is gripping. An unadorned pincer may be a better hand than one that looks like the real thing because of the software that backs it up.

Not to mention the spherical movement strategy makes for something of an unstable base. Its telling that the robot is transporting scarves and not plates of food or parts.

Of course, its silly to criticize such a machine, which is aspirational rather than practical. But its important to understand that these fascinating creations from Festo are hints at a possible future more than anything.

Taking steps toward ankle rehabilitation using soft robotics – ASU Now

Posted: at 10:07 am

Moving your foot requires flexing the muscles in your calf, ankle and the foot itself. But these seemingly simple actions can be difficult for people who develop muscle weakness or partial paralysis in their legs following a stroke (hemiparesis). The same is true for those with chronic ankle instability, often the result of a sports-related injury or neuromuscular diseases like multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

To support people in recovery, three student researchers have been working to create a soft robotic ankle-foot orthosis, or SR-AFO, exosuit that assists with lower-limb gait rehabilitation. The students research is guided by Hyunglae Lee, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. Their project is funded by the Global Sport Institute at ASU. A soft robotics exosuit designed to assist with rehabilitation of the foot and ankle. The project, led by Fulton Schools students Marielle Debeurre, Tiffany Hertzell and Carly Thalman along with Assistant Professor Hyunglae Lee, was awarded the top prize at the WearRA Innovation Challenge earlier this year.

Most foot braces are stiff and uncomfortable, so the team wondered if they could create a dynamic brace that constantly adjusts itself with each step. Their prototype uses two groups of soft inflatable actuators that actively adapt to the user while they are using the device. One set of actuators braces the leg while the other assists with leg push-off during motion.

The unique design earned the top prize in the WearRA Innovation Challenge at the Wearable Robotics Association Conference 2020. Team members Marielle Debeurre, Tiffany Hertzell and Carly Thalman, as well as their advisor Lee, received $2,000 and free entry to the next WearRAcon. The win was a welcome recognition of the multidisciplinary team of students pursuing different degrees and bringing a range of experience levels to the project.

Thalman, a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, started the project during her first year as a systems engineering doctoral student in spring 2018.

I was introduced to the field of soft robotics in my undergraduate studies at ASU and became fascinated with the idea that robots could be designed and configured in such nonconventional methodologies, Thalman said. The concept that a robot could mimic features and characteristics of biological structures, or be integrated seamlessly like clothing caught my eye right away, and I have been conducting research in the field ever since.

She began the exosuit project by developing, modeling and creating the fabric-based contracting actuator. The design was originally developed to help individuals with a condition called drop foot, an inability to lift the front part of the foot. Her fabric actuator design helped users achieve multiple degrees of freedom for ankle mobility. She went on to improve supportive actuators for lateral buckling prevention.

After being exposed to more of the wearable robotics community and seeing ways that robotics are addressing issues with human mobility, I found motivation to see how my efforts could be dedicated to improving the quality of life for others, said Thalman, who has family members and close friends who have had strokes or overcome major ankle injuries and impairments. Seeing their struggles and challenges during and after recovery showed me just how much work still needs to be done in this field to address ongoing issues for those in rehabilitation and recovery from ankle and gait impairments.

Hertzell, a recent mechanical engineering graduate, worked on the project as part of the Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative. She says that she learned from Thalman how versatile and effective soft robotic solutions are.

Traditional rigid robotic solutions can achieve the necessary motions to assist humans, but soft robotics can achieve the same motions in a more innovative way, Hertzell said. Soft robotics are more innovative because they are lighter weight, comfortable for the user, inexpensive and can still achieve the motions and force outputs of rigid robotics.

Debeurre joined Thalman on the project in spring 2020 while pursuing a masters degree in mechanical engineering. She brought with her the experience shed gained as an undergraduate researcher, for which she was named a Spring 2019Fulton Schools Outstanding Graduate.

It became a passion of mine to develop something that assists people in particular, said Debeurre, who is now a doctoral student at cole Nationale Suprieure dArts et Mtiers in France. Engineers are always talking about solving the worlds problems, and, while that is undoubtedly just in itself, work tends to feel the most rewarding when you see the improvement of the people youve helped.

Future directions for this project involve investigating more advanced methods of gait detection to allow the SR-AFO to easily adapt to the needs of the user. Examples include assisting the ankle in various directions for increased support and encouraging fast, more fluid walking patterns. The idea is the SR-AFO can easily adapt to any type of impairment with little adjustment, and can be comfortably worn during rehabilitation similar to a piece of clothing.

It only takes a short time for someone to realize just how extraordinary the field of soft robotics is, Debeurre said. Scientists, mathematicians and engineers spent all of human history trying to make technology more complex, but soft robotics prove that you can achieve comparable functionality with greater simplicity. The ingenuity and the technological achievements are still there, and due to the materials and simplicity of soft robots, we are able to design and manufacture the SR-AFO for a fraction of the cost of some rigid exoskeletons, and still see benefits for the user.

Thalman was a finalist in the WearRAcon Innovation Challenge in 2019 and says this years competition was an amazing opportunity to return and get additional firsthand experience working with others in the wearable robotics field.

Participating this year has allowed us to connect more with the wearable robotics community and get valuable feedback on how to proceed, she said. It also has provided us with much-needed funding for equipment, materials and supplies.

Thalman credits much of the teams success to Lee, her doctoral adviser.

It has been such an inspiration for me to work with him, seeing how he is able to motivate and ignite passion in the students in his lab, and create a culture of respect, integrity and collaboration, she said.

The team comprised of an undergraduate, a masters degree-level and a doctoral student pooled their talent and experience to learn from each other, exhibit excellent teamwork and achieve great things, like winning first place in a global competition in a very short time.

All of the team members are really smart, very creative, extremely hardworking and I really enjoyed every moment of mentoring, Lee said. The way they work together and help each other has also become a very good example for others in our lab.
