I wonder how other robots can learn from these robots as well, robots with other arm geometry. E.g. abstract what the google bots learn to forces and torques on the end effector so other robots can replicate that?

IIRC, the designers had little idea what kind of surface the comet would have. Could be ice, could be rocks, could be dust. What kind of landing gear + fixation gear would have been better?

The space shuttle was not retired because it was too easy to keep them in flight/orbit. The space shuttle as a whole, with the boosters, external tank, wings, wheeled landing gear was also very complex and costly. More complex than a

With steganography [0], you can send encrypted messages embedded in images. Sending normal looking pictures is not suspicious (at least currently, for some definition of normal). [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stegan

For machine learning and deep learning based assistive functions, like Google Now, Cortana and Siri, we let the companies behind them gather a lot of our personal data into "Big Data", because then you can do all the statistics. I

True, you do get that a lot. Restaurant have nicer presentation than me and my mother do, I considered that more towards French cuisine [1] somehow. I've never seen something like wortelstamp/hutspot (mash of potatoes and carrots)

Even living in the Netherlands, I've yet to see a restaurant where you can actually order typical Dutch foods, eg. the mentioned boiled/mashed potatoes + meat + veggies or stamppot [1] I've heard foreigners being quite fond o

I saw this competition at RoboCup in Leipzig. So many improvised-looking stuff going on, some with home vacuum cleaners to generate vacuum for suction cups. Apparently, the winner, Team Delft from the Netherlands, had 0 errors on recognizi

Currently, the human workers work with those bins. Its easier to make the transition from human to robot labor if they work with the same bins, I presume.

Thats the nice thing with Blendle: if you don't like an article, you can get your money back easily. Useless articles with clickbait titles apparently as a lot of refunds.

I would count every played game as an example. What I mean is that I am more impressed by anyone of anything that can do a task (go, golf, chess, learning a foreign language, doing the dishes even) well with just a single example, or e.g. a

I don't want to put a limit on the computer, not at all. But I do think humans have an edge on computer because at least for now, humans can learn the same skills from less samples (at least in this example: Go) Of course, if there ar

But the computer certainly does not win on the amount of training samples required. The human is at the same level as the computer now for Go, but the computer has had much more training samples as Lee Sedol could process in his lifetime.

IIRC only 2% of the generated light eventually hits the wafer. The other 98% of that energy needs to be cooled away.

Indeed, instead or lenses the EUV machines use mirrors. The vacuum makes things more difficult as well, you can't cool much to the air. I think they finally managed the tin contamination, especially the first mirror or so was a big is

Often, I think about an UBI this way: since the robots don't need a paycheck, that paycheck goes to the now 'obsolete' people. That is fundamentally different now: the robot does not get a paycheck and the paycheck basically

What makes humans so much more intelligent that they can learn to be as good as this game when playing only up to 1000 games per year and be just as good as a something that can train on a million games per day? I want computers that can le

Some level autonomy is a requirement to call something a robot. Lots of drones are remote controlled and thus not (fully) autonomous and not robots in my eyes.

The thing is that a Roomba (or Neato, I have one and they work great) only vacuums the floor. I have a kitchen, toilet, furniture that needs cleaning and dusting as well every once in a while. I still have to do my own laundry, except for t

So you sit on its head if you use it as a 'hoverboard', that's curious. But what could be the use cases for a robot like this? Its head is too low for telepresence like Double Robotics. The arms-extension looks nice, but it c
