A growing branch of robotics research is the study of swarm organization, emergent behavior and artificial intelligence through the use of autonomous robotic agents. In this Instructable, I’m going to walk you through a one week project that I created as part of my Masters Architecture studies at theCalifornia College of Arts in collaboration with Prerna […]

Originally developed in Japan and used by Toyota, lean manufacturing has plenty of variations, each promising something else that the other is lacking in. Lean is a vast subject with wide applications across all fields of manufacturing, therefore it is particularly difficult to define it in brief. Nonetheless, it can, in short, be called a

Intel has developed a first-of-its-kind self-learning neuromorphic chip – codenamed Loihi. It mimics the animal brain functions by learning to operate based on various modes of feedback from the environment. Unlike convolutional neural network (CNN) and other deep learning processors, Intel’s Loihi uses an asynchronous spiking model to mimic neuron and synapse behavior in a much

(Phys.org)—Rethink Robotics is introducing Baxter to the manufacturing sector with a note: Baxter can ignite a revolution in breaking down costs and safety barriers holding back automation in American manufacturing. The Boston-based company says the $22,000 (list price) robot is a fraction of the cost of traditional industrial robots “with zero integration required.” Baxter has been expressly designed to work on assembly lines to perform menial tasks
