The Future of Machine Intelligence
In early March 2009, 100 intellectual adventurers journeyed from various corners of Europe, Asia, America and Australasia to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Arlington Virginia, to take part in the Second Conference on Artificial General Intelligence, AGI-09: a conference aimed explicitly at the grand goal of the AI field, the creation of thinking machines with general intelligence at the human level and ultimately beyond.
Understanding the human mind is the key to social robotics, and researchers describe what we can expect from this field in the future.
The active learning algorithm is faster and more accurate in guessing the age of an individual than conventional algorithms.
In Robert Harris’s new thriller, a hugely complex trading program runs dangerously amok.
Drop the gimmicks, focus on practical problem-solving, and robotics can change the world, says Helen Greiner
Actors, animators and dancers are helping to help create expressive automatons
Software is about to haul robots out of the lab and into our lives, just as it did with home computing
To develop a computer smart enough to beat champions on “Jeopardy,” independent scientists had to learn to work together in unfamiliar ways, the team leader says.
Humanoid bots have a tough time walking in sand, but new research aims to give them a steadier step
Boxie is a doe-eyed cardboard robot that elicits conversations from passers-by to gather material for a documentary
A hundred years since the birth of Alan Turing, his famous benchmark for machine intelligence is both too hard and too narrow, but there's another way
A question confronting neuroscientists and computer vision researchers alike is how objects can be identified by simply "looking" at an image. But teaching a computer to "know" what it's looking at is far harder. Scientists have now modeled human brain structure to develop better programming approaches for computer object identification.
An interactive, crowd-sourced timeline looks into the future and envisions a wealth of life-altering technological innovation.
What is the relationship between language and thought? The quest to create artificial intelligence may have come up with some unexpected answers
Facing the physical limits of conventional design, researchers are working to design a computing architecture that more closely resembles that of the brain.
The Kilobots are coming. Computer scientists and engineers have developed and licensed technology that will make it easy to test collective algorithms on hundreds, or even thousands, of tiny robots.
Scientists have now discovered how bacteria collectively gather information to learn about their environment and find an optimal path to growth. This research will allow scientists to design a new generation of "smart robots" that can form intelligent swarms and aid in the development of medical micro-robots used to treat diseases in the human body.
A new era of flexible robots has arrived, and it challenges our notions of what it means to be intelligent, says Justin Mullins
RIKEN, the University of Tsukuba, and Fujitsu Limited have announced that they received top-ranking in all four benchmarks for the performance results of the "K computer" at the 2011 HPC Challenge Awards.
At Google X, a clandestine lab that many employees do not know exists, engineers and robotics experts are tackling a list of 100 shoot-for-the-stars ideas that eventually might not seem so far-fetched.
A virtual robot has acquired a cognitive wrinkle common in people – further evidence that computers need bodies if they're ever going to think like us
The brain likes stereotypes -- at least for movements. Simple actions are most often performed in the same manner. A mathematical model explains why this is the case and could be used to generate more natural robot movements and to adapt prosthetic movements.
Robotics researchers have developed an ingenious technical solution that gives robots a human face. By using a projector to beam the 3D image of a face onto the back of a plastic mask, and a computer to control voice and facial expressions, the researchers have succeeded in creating Mask-bot, a startlingly human-like plastic head.
Ground robots could soon be carrying out dangerous missions abroad while their operators control them from the US
Both boys and girls who play video games tend to be more creative, regardless of whether the games are violent or nonviolent, according to new research.
A flying robot as small as a dinner plate that can zoom to hard-to-reach places and a fleet of eco-friendly robotic farm-hands are just two of the exciting projects a robotics team in Australia is working on.
Teaming up with investigators from the State Office of Criminal Investigation in Berlin, Fraunhofer researchers have come up with an automated assistance system for image and video evaluation that can detect child-pornographic images from among even large volumes of data. Soon, it will make prosecutors‘ work easier.
The merging of two technologies under development -- plasmonics and nanophotonics -- is promising the emergence of new "quantum information systems" far more powerful than today's computers.
A researcher in The Netherlands has developed a smart eye-surgery robot that allows eye surgeons to operate with increased ease and greater precision on the retina and the vitreous humor of the eye. The system also extends the effective period during which ophthalmologists can carry out these intricate procedures.
Two prototype insect-eating robots have been developed that employ smart materials to rapidly ensnare their prey
Mr. McCarthy, a computer scientist, helped design the foundation of today’s Web-based computing and was a top researcher in artificial intelligence, a term he coined.

Chat with Teo is highly varied and complex, because Teo draws his responses from an ever-growing multi-lingual database of remembered chats. Talking to Teo is like talking to the Internet, except that Teo is a little more polite and friendly thanks to his protective filters. Teo doesn't simply imitate. He senses emotional feedback, learns from it, and tries to get better feedback by experimenting with alternative responses. Try the cutting edge. Or forget the technology and just enjoy your conversation.
[Indonesian] ASRI (Automatic Social Response Intelligence) is an Indonesian Language chatbot to give a psychoeducation and early detection tool of psychological problems, especially depression. ASRI merupakan chatbot berbahasa Indonesia untuk melakukan psikoedukasi dan deteksi dini permasalahan psikologis, khususnya tentang depresi.
