The research scientist and principal investigator at UHN’s KITE Research Institute is working to create intelligent robots to help people with physical disabilities.
Discover how Skild AI is developing breakthrough foundation models for general-purpose robotics, enabling robots to adapt and perform across any environment and task.
Science or science fiction? One of the most ambitious research projects ever undertaken aims to create an artificial brain in the near future – a huge undertaking that should be taken seriously.
Scientists merged human brain-like tissue with a computer chip in order to help teach small robotic systems how to navigate obstacles, as well as how to track and grasp items.
Computer scientist Peter Burke has unveiled a robot that uses generative AI models to train its brain and host hardware, subject to proper prompting by handlers.
Instead of teaching each robot separately, they created one super-brain that instantly makes any robot smarter, from quadrupeds to humanoid bots with advanced computer vision.
We hope that with this first step, we can together create the future of robotics: where general roboticbrains can power any robot, benefiting from data shared by all robots around the world.
The future of roboticbrains is not just about creating smarter machines; it’s about creating a smarter, more efficient, and more equitable world. It’s about using these artificial minds to complement and enhance our own intelligence, not replace it.
There have been plenty of bizarre robots designed in the past, but this could well take the top spot. In a world first, this robot is more human than ever, kitted out with and controlled by a real-life brain.
“With regards to the first, I develop machine learning algorithms to mathematically model human perception, cognition, and motor control. These ‘artificial brains’ can then allow robots to think and control themselves.”
