IBM Executive HPC/AI Architect, Clarisse Taaffe-Hedglin, discusses how clients can take AI from prototype to production using IBM’s Watson Machine Learning Accelerator AI software combined with IBM Power Systems infrastructure.

Utilizing open source packages as a base and introducing packages from IBM Research while leveraging advantages of IBM Power Systems accelerated infrastructure, IBM helps clients train models faster and in a distributed fashion. Clarisse discusses technologies and packages such as Distributed Deep Learning, Snap ML and NVLink to implement AI at scale and also describes how you can get started on your AI journey to scale with IBM

Is Atlas The World’s Most Advanced Humanoid Robot With Artificial Intelligence Until Now?

A humanoid robot is a robot with its body shape built to resemble the human body. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes.

Humanoid robotics is an emerging and challenging research field, which has received significant attention during the past years and will continue to play a central role in robotics research and in many applications of the 21st century.

Humanoid robots are now used as research tools in several scientific areas. Researchers study the human body structure and behavior (biomechanics) to build humanoid robots. On the other side, the attempt to simulate the human body leads to a better understanding of it.

There are many humanoid robots made by many famous companies. for example – Atlas from Boston Dynamics, sophia by Hanson Robotics, Asimo by Honda, Valkyrie from NASA, iCub Robot, Romeo, petman, NAO bot, ARMAR III and many more.

But the question is which one is the best humanoid robot in the world. The answer is, Off-course Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics.

The world’s most dynamic humanoid robot, Atlas is a research platform designed to push the limits of whole-body mobility. Atlas’s advanced control system and state-of-the-art hardware give the robot the power and balance to demonstrate human-level agility.

Atlas’s advanced control system enables highly diverse and agile locomotion, while algorithms reason through complex dynamic interactions involving the whole body and environment to plan movements.

8 Weird Robots NASA Wants To Send To Space

NASA is developing a bunch of robots it wants to send to space. Some are humanoid like the RoboSimian and Robonaut 2. But other bots like the Ice Worm, Astrobee, and LEMUR are more abstract. Of course, there’s also the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be bringing along several smaller robots. NASA tests these robots in extreme conditions on Earth in order to prepare them for other planets and moons.

Artificial Intelligence Explained

This video outlines Artificial Intelligence and the current state of the technology. It states we are currently demonstrating narrow or weak Ai, while working towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), as a strong AI, which would be similar to human intelligence. After that, superintelligence is envisioned where machines are smarter than humans. After that “singularity” is hypothesized which would represent an explosion of intelligence.

Spot Launch

Spot is an agile mobile robot that you can customize for a wide range of applications. The base platform provides rough-terrain mobility, 360 degree obstacle avoidance, and various levels of navigation, remote control and autonomy. You can customize Spot by adding specialized sensors, software and other payloads. Early customers are already testing Spot to monitor construction sites, provide remote inspection at gas, oil and power installations, and in public safety.  Spot is in mass production via Boston Dynamics and is currently shipping to select early adopters.
