Worldwide AI and Robotics in A&D Industry to 2026 - Asia-Pacific to Witness Highest Growth During the Forecast Period - ResearchAndMarkets.com - Yahoo...

In the mid-1990s, there was research going on at Stanford University that would change the way we think about computers. The Media Equation experiments were simple: participants were asked to interact with a computer that acted socially for a few minutes after which, they were asked to give feedback about the interaction.

Participants would provide this feedback either on the same computer (No. 1) they had just been working on or on another computer (No. 2) across the room. The study found that participants responding on computer No. 2 were far more critical of computer No. 1 than those responding on the same machine theyd worked on.

People responding on the first computer seemed to not want to hurt the computers feelings to its face, but had no problem talking about it behind its back. This phenomenon became known as the computers as social actors (CASA) paradigm because it showed that people are hardwired to respond socially to technology that presents itself as even vaguely social.

The CASA phenomenon continues to be explored, particularly as our technologies have become more social. As a researcher, lecturer, and all-around lover of robotics, I observe this phenomenon in my work every time someone thanks a robot, assigns it a gender, or tries to justify its behavior using human, or anthropomorphic, rationales.

What Ive witnessed during my research is that while few are under any delusions that robots are people, we tend to defer to them just like we would another person.

While this may sound like the beginnings of a Black Mirror episode, this tendency is precisely what allows us to enjoy social interactions with robots and place them in caregiver, collaborator, or companion roles.

The positive aspects of treating a robot like a person is precisely why roboticists design them as such we like interacting with people. As these technologies become more human-like, they become more capable of influencing us. However, if we continue to follow the current path of robot and AI deployment, these technologies could emerge as far more dystopian than utopian.

The Sophia robot, manufactured by Hanson Robotics, has been on 60 Minutes, received honorary citizenship from Saudi Arabia, holds a title from the United Nations, and has gone on a date with actor Will Smith. While Sophia undoubtedly highlights many technological advancements, few surpass Hansons achievements in marketing. If Sophia truly were a person, we would acknowledge its role as an influencer.

However, worse than robots or AI being sociopathic agents goal-oriented without morality or human judgment these technologies become tools of mass influence for whichever organization or individual controls them.

If you thought the Cambridge Analytica scandal was bad, imagine what Facebooks algorithms of influence could do if they had an accompanying, human-like face. Or a thousand faces. Or a million. The true value of a persuasive technology is not in its cold, calculated efficiency, but its scale.

Recent scandals and exposures in the tech world have left many of us feeling helpless against these corporate giants. Fortunately, many of these issues can be solved through transparency.

There are fundamental questions that are important for social technologies to answer because we would expect the same answers when interacting with another person, albeit often implicitly. Who owns or sets the mandate of this technology? What are its objectives? What approaches can it use? What data can it access?

Since robots could have the potential to soon leverage superhuman capabilities, enacting the will of an unseen owner, and without showing verbal or non-verbal cues that shed light on their intent, we must demand that these types of questions be answered explicitly.

As a roboticist, I get asked the question, When will robots take over the world? so often that Ive developed a stock answer: As soon as I tell them to. However, my joke is underpinned by an important lesson: dont scapegoat machines for decisions made by humans.

I consider myself a robot sympathizer because I think robots get unfairly blamed for many human decisions and errors. It is important that we periodically remind ourselves that a robot is not your friend, your enemy, or anything in between. A robot is a tool, wielded by a person (however far removed), and increasingly used to influence us.

We assign too much humanity to robots: Theyre simply tools - The Next Web

Dec 9th 2021

Erith and Northampton

SOME 3,000 boxy robots, each the size of a small refrigerator, are scurrying around a metallic chequerboard about seven times the size of a football pitch. Every second or so one halts as a crate of groceries rises up and is deposited inside it. The bot then conveys the crate to a picking station, where a human puts orders into bags. This is the Hive (pictured), a giant fulfilment centre in Erith, south-east London, operated by Ocado, an online grocer. An AI-driven computer system choreographs the bots movements. Each travels some 60km a day, helping to bag around 1m items.

Brexit and a shortage of lorry drivers mean items are missing from supermarket shelves. But further up supply chains, the picture is cheerier, for a nation of shopkeepers has built some of the worlds most advanced retail logistics. With around 350,000 ($450,000) spent on automation per warehouse in 2020, Britains distribution and fulfilment centres are the worlds most robotised, according to Interact Analysis, a research group. In America, for comparison, the figure is $375,750.

Automation was first motivated by high wage costs, says Ash Sharma, Interacts managing director. Britain spends $18 per square foot on warehouse labour, compared with $16 in America and $4 in China. But now the issue is labour shortages: Firms just cant find workers.

Britain was also an early mover in e-commerce. Amazon set up its virtual British store in 1998, three years after the American original. Its British fulfilment centres use small, squat robots to slide under shelves and shuttle them to people who pick and pack the right goods.

Online shopping has been the main source of demand. From barely 3% in 2006, the share of retail sales in Britain made online has risen to 26%. When Ocado began delivering groceries ordered online in 2002, there was little technology for automating the handling of goods that must be kept chilled or frozen. So it developed its own. Nowadays, Ocado Group provides robotics to other retailers. It is building 50 more Hive-like systems around the world.

To keep up, firms need supply chains to become more efficient, not just for e-commerce but also for bricks-and-mortar stores, as the two have become entwined. Nowhere is this more apparent than in a giant warehouse beside the M1 motorway at Northampton. Cygnia, the logistics firm that owns it, handles warehousing and order fulfilment for some 30 retailers, selling goods ranging from beer to beauty products. Its employees pick and pack from tens of thousands of items, not just for online customers, but also for shops, beauty salons and other businesses.

Things get hectic at this time of year. A recent Black Friday offer by one client resulted in two days worth of off-peak order volume in an hour, says Scott Merrick, Cygnias chief information officer. The firm also has to cope with constant change, in the form of new products and customised packaging such as Christmas gift boxes. All this is a problem for robots, which, unlike humans, struggle with variety.

Nevertheless, they are coming. Cygnia was bought in September by Wincanton, a giant logistics firm that got its start almost a century ago delivering milk in the West Country. It will introduce robots similar to some it uses elsewhere that work like automated trolleys, fetching items to spare workers from pushing things around. Mr Merrick expects a 200% increase in productivity with two-thirds less labour.

Cygnia says workers displaced by robots will be redeployed, as the firm is expected to grow. Indeed, automation can create jobs, not just for technicians and programmers, but also because improved efficiency tends to generate additional business, says Rueben Scriven, a senior analyst with Interact. He already sees signs of a net increase in warehouse employment.

How long that continues will depend on how well engineers succeed in automating jobs that robots find tricky. It takes dexterity and knowledge not to drop a bag of potatoes on a box of eggs. With the help of sensors and AI, one-armed robots at Ocados warehouse in Erith are learning the ropes. They can already pick and pack about 10% of the 50,000 product lines stored in the Hive, says James Gralton, chief engineering officer for Ocados technology division. He thinks that could rise to 60-80% over time.

Vehicles such as forklift trucks and goods transporters will also start to be automated, says Ian Hunt, automation and engineering director for Wincanton. And companies are keen to automate the last milethe bit of the supply chain that ends with the customer. Starship Technologies, an Estonian firm, already offers robotic delivery in Northampton and Milton Keynes. Its six-wheeled pods trundle along footpaths and cycleways to deliver groceries from Co-op stores, using sensors to avoid people and other vehicles. Operators monitor the pods progress through their cameras and can take control if necessary. When the pods arrive, they are unlocked by shoppers using a mobile app.

As technologies improve and regulators allow, bigger autonomous delivery vans using roads will arrive. Wayve, a London-based startup, is running trials, including some with Asda, a supermarket chain, and Ocado. For now vehicles have safety drivers on board as backup. Lorries will also gain automated-driving aids to help with lane-keeping and avoiding other vehicles. But the complexity of their operationstry reversing a big lorry through a busy, narrow high street to drop goods off at a convenience storemeans HGV drivers will be in demand for years to come.

Global Modular Robotics Market 2021-2030 | A $16.7+ Billion Opportunity Assessment Featuring Profiles of ABB, Kuka, Advanced Intelligent Systems,...

Logistics service provider Delhivery said Wednesday it had acquired California-based Transition Robotics Inc (TRI), a company focused on developing unmanned aerial system (UAS) platforms.

The announcement comes at a time when India is taking steps towards allowing delivery of goods through drones.

A decade-old company, TRI has focused on taking novel vertical-takeoff UAS with advanced flight capabilities to market. In 2015, the company unveiled the JumpShip, a fully autonomous platform allowing commercial operators to combine the operational flexibility of multirotor with the efficient, fast flight of fixed-wing aircraft.

Delhivery will get access to all intellectual property registered in the US to TRI with this transaction, strengthening its capabilities in a wide range of applications, including aerial photography, remote sensing, inspection, and surveys.

Speaking on the development, Kapil Bharati, Chief Technology Officer, Delhivery, said, While we continue to build our supply chain platform, we must look at the long-term developments poised to shape the industry. Bringing TRI onboard gives us a chance to get directly involved with core Drone Technology as regulations and use cases for drones are evolving in the country.

Not yet, but earlier this year, India liberalised the norms for operating civilian drones in the country. However, certain entities have been permitted by the Ministry of Civil Aviation to run pilot tests on delivery of vaccines to the hinterland using drones.

Separately, in September, the Ministry of Civil Aviation notified the airspace map for operations of drones, with an aim to establish a different air traffic management system for unmanned aerial vehicles taking the first steps towards allowing beyond visual line of sight drone operations deemed necessary for delivery of goods.

Global Inspection Robots Market Comprehensive Research Study, Strategic Planning, Competitive Landscape and Forecast to 2031 - Digital Journal

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Roam Robotics, the company leading the expansion of human mobility with wearable robotics, announced today that the San Francisco VA Health Care System (SFVAHCS), along with the Northern California Institute for Research and Education (NCIRE), has begun enrolling patients to study the impact of Ascend, a first-of-its-kind smart brace, on the Veteran population.

Ascend, from Roam Robotics, is a smart knee orthosis designed to provide relief from knee pain and intuitively support everyday mobility. A previous clinical studyof knee osteoarthritis participants demonstrated an average of 46 percent pain reduction, and 67 percent exhibited functional improvement when using the device. Ascend is the first wearable robotic device to show usefulness in everyday life for people suffering from knee joint pain who want to regain independence and live more active lifestyles. Ascend is also registered with the FDA as a Class I medical device.

"I am excited to evaluate Roam Robotics' Ascend powered knee-brace in Veterans with knee osteoarthritis who experience considerable knee pain when performing day-to-day activities," said Dr. Alfred Kuo, Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at the San Francisco VA Health Care System "Veterans suffer from musculoskeletal conditions such as knee arthritis at higher rates than the general population. We don't have great treatment options for many of these patients, especially ones who have moderate disease. The Ascend brace has the potential to substantially improve pain, stability, and function."

Ascend provides a non-opioid and non-surgical solution for pain relief and increased stability, while performing common movements like walking, kneeling, standing, sitting, and going up or down steps. "Roam's technology has been proven previously to provide benefits to a wide variety of patients suffering from knee pain, weak quadriceps or instability," said Sujit Dike, Vice President at Roam Robotics. "We are very excited about this partnership with the San Francisco VA. It can further validate the potential impact of Roam's technology in addressing an enormous and growing challenge for the Veteran population".

"Roam is focused on a massively underserved market. More than 20 percent of the global population is limited by their body's mobility, and as medical advancements help people live longer that number is only going to increase," said Tim Swift, Roam's CEO and Founder. "Our approach to wearable robotics works seamlessly with the human body to help people lead healthier, happier and more active lives, unhindered by physical limitations."

From MAPSO Makers Robotics Club:

In 2019 Maplewood parent Brad Schenker and SOMS choir teacher Jake Ezzo created a FIRST LEGO League robotics team composed of nine 7th grade girls from South Orange Middle School, resulting in inaugural year success.

This year team members were moving on to high school and aging out of the program, so Schenker set up a table during the Achieve Foundations April Maker Madness event and had over 30 children interested in the program.

When Jake and I started the team, our goal was to get more kids from underrepresented groups exposed and interested in STEM and robotics, and to get kids using skills such as critical thinking, communication and creativity that will be crucial to their future success. As a dad of three girls, my personal goal was to focus on getting more girls interested in STEM.

The interest was so big at Maker Madness, that the duo expanded their plan to anyone interested. Knowing the challenges they would face with such quick growth, they jumped at the chance to grow what they call a grand experiment.

They focused on 5th-8th graders that resided in Maplewood or South Orange and convinced some brave parents to volunteer as coaches. Jakes pitch was simple. Im a music teacher. I dont have any formal experience in computer science or robotics. So we convinced parents to take the leap with us and expand from our original team, the MAPSO Makers. The end results were teams named the Boys in Black, Programming Pickles, Tech Titans and Yawbots.

Sahana Lynch, the captain of the Tech Titans said, I wanted to join a team to explore new, innovative ways to learn and to have fun.

Jake and Brad reached out to SOMSD teachers and administrators for support. Randall Post, CHS Physic teacher and Robotics Club advisor supported the program by offering space in the robotics room, which was supported by CHS Principal Frank Sanchez.

Local business American Jiu Jitsu has sponsored the program since its inception and continued its sponsorship by offering space as needed at its studio. Several of the original MAPSO Makers team volunteered some of their Saturdays to work with the new teams.

The 2021 season kicked off this past September with four new teams and eight parent volunteer coaches. The season and competitions contain several parts: The Robot game and robot build, the Innovation Project and Core Values, which helps teams focus on working as a team and having fun. This years theme covers transportation and finding ways to improve or create new technology to solve the movement of cargo around the world.

The teams hard work paid off on November 20th when the MAPSO teams and 15 other teams from Northern NJ competed in a qualifier event. Usually held in person, the teams competed virtually for the second year due to COVID.

Out of six awards, the MAPSO teams captured three:

The Yawbots is one of five teams to move on to the Regional Championship December 11 where they will compete against 47 other teams.

The four MAPSO teams all ranked in the top 12 for robot performance. Schenker stated, I was blown away by every teams performance. It can take time to understand the program and be proficient in all the competition elements. Every team showed improvement through the year. Even on competition day, the Programming Pickles almost doubled their robot performance score between their first two matches and the Boys in Black had to adjust their plans, with two team members quarantined the day before due to COVID close contact protocol.

MAPSO Robotics Club

Ezzo summed up the program perfectly, From a teacher perspective, this is a dream of what learning looks like. A combo of teacher, kids, parents and community all working together and having fun. Brad and I are looking at additional programs to offer to the community and plan to run our LEGO robotics camp again next summer.

The MAPSO Makers would be happy to continue expanding its teams with the help of parents and businesses. You can email Brad at MAPSOFLL@gmail.com with your contact information and he will add you to future communications or reach out for more information.

Top 10 Robotics Experts to Watch Out for in 2022 - Analytics Insight

Architecture and construction have always been, rather quietly, at the bleeding edge of tech and materials trends. Its no surprise, then, especially at a renowned technical university like ETH Zurich, to find a project utilizing AI and robotics in a new approach to these arts. The automated design and construction they are experimenting with show how homes and offices might be built a decade from now.

The project is a sort of huge sculptural planter, hanging gardens inspired by the legendary structures in the ancient city of Babylon. (Incidentally, it was my ancestor, Robert Koldewey, who excavated/looted the famous Ishtar Gate to the place.)

Begun in 2019, Semiramis (named after the queen of Babylon back then) is a collaboration between human and AI designers. The general idea of course came from the creative minds of its creators, architecture professors Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler. But the design was achieved by putting the basic requirements, such as size, the necessity of watering and the style of construction, through a set of computer models and machine learning algorithms.

During the design process, for example, the team might tweak the position of one of the large pods that make up the 70-foot structure, or change the layout of the panels that make up its surface. The software they created would then immediately adjust the geometry of the overall structure and the other panels to accommodate these changes, making sure it would still safely bear its own weight, and so on.

There are many automated processes in architecture, of course, but this project pushes the boundaries out in the level of final control seemingly given to them. The point, after all, is to make it a genuine collaboration, not just a sort of architectural spell-check that makes sure the whole thing wont collapse.

The computer model lets us reverse the conventional design process and explore the full design scope for a project. This leads to new, often surprising geometries, Kohler said in an ETHZ news post.

Having arrived at a final design, the construction is being accomplished by another human-automation team: a set of four robotic arms operating with one mind to hold multiple heavy pieces (each pod has dozens) in place while humans apply the resin used to keep them together. Its a step above the technique we saw used a few years ago by the same team when they used robots as automated assistants.

Semiramis is being constructed in the workshop then shipped piece by piece to its eventual home at Tech Cluster Zug. It should be fully assembled and ready to accept soil and seeds this coming spring, so stop by if youre in the area.
