The PC-Therapists
As the company says, unlike previous robots such as the Guide Robot, the Cleaning Robot, and the Serving Robot, the “LG CLOi SuitBot” does not navigate alone on hotel corridors and airport spaces, but instead supports and strengthens the legs of the user, increasing his agility and the strength of his lower limbs. LG last year invested Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
“The purpose of our lab is to try to make very minimalist robots that, when used in large numbers, can do great things”, says Petersen, who supervises Cornell’s Collective Embodied Intelligence Lab. “Simple robots are cheap and less prone to damage and wear, so we can have many to operate Διαβάστε Περισσότερα …
Are we not sometimes understanding the emotional reactions of the other from shaking? Don’t we use the expression “raised head hair”? Well, Cornell engineers have taken care of recognizing the emotional world of a robot in the same way.
