Why It Hits: As chatbots take over the mainstream, robotics is seen as the final frontier of AI. Several companies are […]
Boston Dynamics, long at the cutting edge of robotics, is now touting a breakthrough in leveling up its robots for the real world. Why It Hits: Boston Dynamics is no longer the only player in the robotics game, facing competition from Big Tech players like Tesla, startups like Figure, and new entrants like Meta. If Boston Dynamics can scale […]
The Future. Agility Robotics announced that it’s opening “the world’s first purpose-built humanoid robot factory” in Salem, Oregon, to mass-produce its Digit robot. Amazon is already beginning to integrate the robots into its warehouse operations, so the looming robot worker human replacement debate is no longer in the realm of science fiction. Robot supervisors might […]
AI is smarter now than it’s ever been, but it still hasn’t eclipsed human intelligence due to lacking one pivotal trait: consciousness.
