Fatal flaw? A near-repeat of the Tesla crash proves that if the autopilot can’t “see” well enough, it gets “confused” – so drivers must “take responsibility”

There is something deathly wrong with the autopilot feature of Tesla cars. The fatal crash at Mountain View, California in March 2018 nearly got itself a gory sequel when the self-driving car got confused by the faded white lanes, reported CBS San Francisco. Indeed, a video of the near-accident shows the car’s self-driving system failing near […]

Robot avatars that can see, hear, touch, and interact with people to be developed by 2021

Do you have any idea what robots of the future will look like? There surely is plenty of interest in this particular subject. However, it’s a bit difficult to predict what exactly lies ahead for robots, specifically those that are worthy of being deemed “humanoid” or perhaps human-like. Regardless, it’s quite clear that so-called robot […]

Autonomous underwater robots will collect and archive seawater samples to track ocean microbes

Though small in size, the impact of ocean microbes is enormous. Not only do they act as the foundation for marine-based food chains, but they also play important roles in the oxygen cycle. Yet, scientists believe that we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface. The full extent of their influence is a continuing subject […]

3D printable robot arm created that could be used for sign language, making communication easier for hearing-impaired

Sign language interpreters aren’t always available, making communication between the hearing and deaf communities all the more difficult. Closing this gap through technology is an option that continues to see numerous attempts. The latest of these is a robotic sign language interpreter that takes the form of an arm. The creation of researchers at the […]

Human-like Terminator rescue droids to become our “fourth emergency service” in 50 years

Are you ready to have robots rescue you from an emergency situation? Come 2068, this may be the reality that we’ll live in. That’s the prediction put forth by Mat Shore, author and global authority on artificial intelligence and futuristic technology. He believes that Britain’s “fourth emergency service” will comprise hundreds of human-like, autonomous droids. […]

The Japanese have developed a crop-saving robotic wolf to scare off wild boars

Japan is home to almost one million wild boars. These animals are known to gorge themselves on rice, chestnuts, and potatoes, which has brought them into conflict with farmers. But they can only do so much to protect their crops and themselves from the near-fearless beasts. Fortunately, help is on the way, and it comes […]

Robot-controlled vehicles could soon be restocking military front lines with ammo, food, fuel

The British Army has conducted an initial test of its new line of robotic vehicles during a scheduled exercise in Michigan in the United States. Driverless robotic all-terrain 4x4s were run by unseen British soldiers using Xbox controllers as the Ministry of Defence told the public on Tuesday, November 14 that it will join the […]
