The convergence of AI and robotics will unlock a wonderful new world of possibilities in everyday life, says robotics and AI pioneer Daniela Rus. Diving into the way machines think, she reveals how “liquid networks” — a revolutionary class of AI that mimics the neural processes of simple organisms — could help intelligent machines process information more efficiently and give rise to “physical intelligence” that will enable AI to operate beyond digital confines and engage dynamically in the real world.

All New Atlas | Boston Dynamics
We are unveiling the next generation of humanoid robots—a fully electric Atlas robot designed for real-world applications. The new Atlas builds on decades of research and furthers our commitment to delivering the most capable, useful mobile robots solving the toughest challenges in industry today: with Spot, with Stretch, and now with Atlas. Stay tuned to see what the world’s most dynamic humanoid robot can really do—in the lab, in the factory, and in our lives.

Boston Dynamics dropped a stunning video of their new, fully electric humanoid robot Atlas. It is like nothing I’ve seen previously.
I Tested Boston Dynamics’ Robot Dog
What is Boston Dynamics robot dog?
The truth about Boston Dynamics’ famous robot dog
You might think you already know Spot, the robot dog from Boston Dynamics. Maybe you saw a viral video of it opening a door, or dragging a truck, or dancing. But now, this robot has hit a HUGE milestone… Spot got a job!
These robots are now out in the real world doing real work, for fire departments, factories, defunct nuclear power plants like Fukushima, ancient ruins like Pompeii, deep mines, and, more controversially, police departments. You might already be starting to see robot dogs walking around, and even if you’re not, they’re starting to affect your life.
That’s why we went to visit Boston Dynamics. In this video, we put Spot to the test, to show you what it’s really capable of, and how our future could be even better with robot dogs.

I Challenged Boston Dynamics’ Famous Atlas Robot
You might know Atlas, the famous robot that does parkour and throws heavy objects in Boston Dynamics’ popular YouTube videos. I visited Boston Dynamics to challenge Atlas to a little friendly competition, to see what this robot can REALLY do. I wanted to answer a question I’ve had since I was a kid: When are all the robots coming? Like C-3PO! The Iron Giant! Sonny from “I, Robot”! Human-like machines that can help people do more than we can by ourselves. For most of my life, humanoid robots have seemed pretty far away. But recently? Not so much. Tesla with Optimus, Boston Dynamics with Atlas, NASA with Valkyrie, startups like Figure and many more are all making huge leaps in this field. In this video, we take you to the cutting edge of humanoid robots, to show you what they can actually do right now… and what you can expect in the robot future that’s coming.
Factories are heading for a ‘dark’ future — and it’s not what you think
Factories have been transformed by automation, with robots now taking on a considerable proportion of jobs once done by people – lifting heavy loads, assembling parts, and more.
Some manufacturers are edging toward a future of factories focused on “lights out” or “dark” production. In such a setting, factories have near-total to full automation, with robots able to continue running overnight when humans are no longer there.
As manufacturing has become more and more automated, there are concerns about the roles traditionally taken on by people.
Wootzano, a robot-powered food packer in the northeast of England, is one example. The company is working to prepare and pack fruit with a lineup of robots that can operate with little to no supervision.
“Complete automation is what we all want to get towards, we want no human beings and the whole thing being run autonomously,” Atif Syed, CEO of Wootzano, told CNBC.
Still, the cost savings to this can be quite high, Syed said, noting that Wootzano, which packs fruit for distributors across the U.K., will eventually be able to operate with 80% fewer people than it currently does.
However, implementing a fully automated factory isn’t as straightforward as it seems. For one, robots don’t excel in creative thinking or problem-solving.
“If an error is happening, we don’t have enough data possibly to understand using machine learning techniques to then solve the problem,” Helge Wundermann, a professor of robotics at University College London, told CNBC.
“The creativity, the experience, the expertise of the human beings to troubleshoot some of the problems is essential.”
Will the future of manufacturing truly be “dark”? And if so, what are the challenges to building autonomous factories? Watch the video to learn more.
