AI-powered bot successfully requested refund from Wells Fargo using FAKE voice
Joshua Browder, the founder of DoNotPay, showed in a video shared on Twitter his newly launched artificial intelligence (AI) tool’s ability to handle customer service calls on behalf of users. Browder said using an AI-generated version of Browder’s own voice, it successfully requested a refund from Wells Fargo, a San Francisco-based multinational financial services company. […]

Humans are no match for artificial intelligence – “It’s not even close,” says Nobel laureate
In an interview with The Guardian, Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman opined that artificial intelligence (AI) would be the undisputed winner in the workplace battle between robots and humans. “Clearly AI is going to win [against human intelligence]. It’s not even close,” he told the paper. “How people are going to adjust to this is a fascinating problem.” Kahneman, […]

Engineers develop an “octocopter” carpenter drone capable of attaching shingles to a roof using an equipped nail gun
Engineers from the University of Michigan (UMich) have developed a robot carpenter that can autonomously attach roof shingles using an onboard nail gun. The roofing device is an octocopter drone prefigured to make its own calculations on the force required to bury a nail. A human operator just needs to turn a virtual switch to start the roofing. […]

Researchers develop algorithm that will allow robots to work together with humans … or hunt us like prey
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a novel algorithm that allows robots to better predict where humans are headed. This tool can pave the way for robots working in a structured work setting, such as in factories. Improved algorithm boosts performance The researchers collaborated with automobile manufacturer BMW to test ways in which humans […]

A new generation of robotics: Researchers design self-healing robotic hands that don’t require human intervention
Scientists are now developing robots that can feel pain and sense damage. Better yet, these robots will not only be able to sense that they’ve been damaged, but they will also be able to repair the damage themselves without human intervention. These self-healing robots have soft, robotic hands made through 3D printing using a jelly-like plastic […]

Engineers develop “Vegebot” that can harvest lettuce
While using machines to harvest crops isn’t a new concept, using a robot that does so through machine learning is. A team of engineers from the University of Cambridge developed a vegetable-picking robot that uses machine learning to harvest a commonplace, but challenging, agricultural crop: lettuce. The team, led by Cambridge’s Dr. Fumiya Iida, initially trained their […]

Simple yet surprisingly tricky: Japanese tech start-up tries to develop robots that can clean a room
Tidying up a messy space may be a dull chore for humans, but it is one of the few remaining jobs that they are still better at doing than machines. Well, until Japanese researchers succeeded in their quest to teach the task to robots through deep learning, that is. Children often whine about cleaning up […]

U.K. airport introduces a fleet of valet-parking robots
Machines will soon be taking over the jobs of human valets at a major international airport in southeast England. Gatwick Airport recently announced that it is testing a number of valet parking robots for future deployment, making it the first U.K. facility to operate a fleet of the autonomous machines. Airport official explained that the robots […]

Robots now capable of inspecting aircraft… are we going to lose more jobs to machines?
Aircraft inspection is joining the ranks of human jobs that will one day be taken over by robots. The herald of this takeover is the Swedish-designed Vortex Robot, the prototype of which has just recently succeeded in clambering onto an airplane like a mechanical spider that looks for any problem on the varied surfaces of the vehicle. […]

RoboWaiter will replace human waiters with automation… and it doesn’t complain about wages or work conditions
“Imagine a world where you walk into a restaurant and you never have to pay tip again,” began Sharon Gai, a designer at the Disrupt NYC Hackathon — an event where developers and engineers had 24 hours to build a new product. Flanked by her teammates, Nina Yang and Irvin Cardenas, Yang continued: “Well if […]
