Esper Hand is a “human-like” prosthetic arm that can be controlled by the mind
Posted by Raphael Ramos in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, robotics/AI, transhumanism
Video on prosthetic Esper hand.
New York-based engineering startup Esper Bionics has developed a flexible prosthetic mind-controlled hand that learns how to suggest the best grip faster than similar prosthetics.
Esper Bionics’ robotic arm is designed to be lighter and learn faster than many of the prosthetics currently available for amputees. The more the wearer uses the hand, the better and quicker it is to suggest the right grip.

AI, Sentience & the Binding Problem of Consciousness — is LaMDA sentient? — Andrés Gómez Emilsson
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: futurism, robotics/AI
Is LaMDA at Google sentient? Is the current state of the art AI showing signs of having qualia? The phenomenal binding problem asks us to consider, ‘how can huge set of discrete neurons form a unified mind?’ Is topological binding a requirement for AI to be sentient?
Many thanks for tuning in!

Meta AI Has Built A Neural Theorem Prover That Has Solved 10 International Math Olympiad (IMO) Problems — 5x More Than Any Previous Artificial Intelligence AI System
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: mathematics, robotics/AI
The scientific world has long acknowledged that proving mathematical theorems is an essential first step in developing artificial intelligence. To prove the truth or falsity of a conjecture, one must use symbolic thinking and sort through an unlimited number of alternatives. These tasks are beyond the capabilities of even the most sophisticated AI systems.
The state of the art in artificial intelligence today is to create machines that can “solve at once” or come up with a whole answer to a problem in a single go. However, this is not how most individuals approach difficult situations. Mathematical reasoning is significantly more challenging to formalize and measure.
Meta AI has made an important development at the intersection of artificial intelligence and mathematics. The neural theorem prover developed by the team has completed five times as many IMO problems as any other AI system before it, totaling ten. Concerning miniF2F, a popular mathematics test, the AI model outperforms the state of art by 20% and outperforms Metamath by 10%.

Bio-hybrid robotics built from living tissue | Shoji Takeuchi
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biological, robotics/AI
Imagine a robot that could find human beings after a natural disaster because it has a mosquito’s ability to sense human sweat. Shoji Takeuchi of the University of Tokyo has already made a robotic finger that includes living tissue – here he explores possible applications of combining biological material with artificial materials in robotic systems.

The US Space Force’s secretive X-37B space plane: 10 surprising facts
Posted by Omuterema Akhahenda in categories: military, robotics/AI, space
The U.S. Space Force has a mini-fleet of two robotic X-37B space planes, which have been flying secret missions since 2010.
The most recent mission, called OTV-6, launched in May 2020 and is ongoing. As that name suggests, it’s the sixth flight for the robotic X-37B, which is also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV). The other five OTV missions launched in April 2010, March 2011, December 2012, May 2015 and September 2017.
We’ve assembled 10 surprising facts about the military space plane for you. Just click the arrows to launch to the next page and enjoy.

DeviantArt users lash out over AI tool that generates works on its own
Posted by Dan Kummer in category: robotics/AI
DeviantArt faced backlash Friday after the popular art website introduced a brand-new Artificial Intelligence tool that would allow systems to generate works of art on their own.
The AI — which is being called DreamUp — is meant to push for “safe and fair” AI image generation for DeviantArt users, reports Endgadget.
“AI technology for creation is a powerful force we can’t ignore,” said DeviantArt CEO Moti Levy.

How Generative AI Is Changing Creative Work
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: business, robotics/AI
Generative AI models for businesses threaten to upend the world of content creation, with substantial impacts on marketing, software, design, entertainment, and interpersonal communications. These models are able to produce text and images: blog posts, program code, poetry, and artwork. The software uses complex machine learning models to predict the next word based on previous word sequences, or the next image based on words describing previous images. Companies need to understand how these tools work, and how they can add value.

It may soon be standard practice for AI tools — such as GPT-3 and DALL-E — to provide first drafts of emails, articles, reports, blog posts, presentations, videos, and more.
