Wouldn't it be great to have all your work done by robos ?
Yes indeed, looks like a fictional movie scene but researchers around the world
are working hard on it to make that dream possible one day..and what I feel is
that we are not very far from this given the invention in recent times. Well by
now you would have figured out that I'm talking about Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence also defined as the "study and
design intelligent agents", where an intelligent agent perceives its
environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. In this
blog-post I want to show you guys some amazingg inventions that makes me
believe that we are not too far from achieving the impossible. And I am sure
after reading this, you will also feel the same.
To start off with IBM
has made a artificial intelligence program named Watson, which accesses roughly
200 million pages of information and is able to understand natural language and
answer questions; the idea was that Watson's encyclopedic knowledge of medical
conditions could aid a human expert in diagnosing illness, as well as
contributing computer expertise elsewhere. IBM later announced that it could be
used for a wide-range of call center, technical support and technical sales
applications. Look at this video of how Watson beats the reigning champion.
Intelligent Transportation
We all know about Google's driver-less car which has been in
and around the Bay Area for quite a bit of time now..Another major invention
rather cheap is that of a computer scientist from Israel modified his Audi A7
by adding a camera and artificial-intelligence software, enabling the car to drive the 65 Km highway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The technique is different from Google in the
sense that it uses cheaper methods of achieving its goal unlike Google's LIDAR
which is expensive to deploy on production vehicles as sighted by Elon Musk.
Emotional Computing
Currently, at a preschool near University of California, San
Deigo, a child-sized robot named Rubi plays with children. It listens to them,
speaks to them and understands their facial expressions. Farther down the road, it is likely that applications will know exactly how
people are reacting as the conversion progresses, a step well beyond Siri.
Robotics
A race is already under way to build robots that can walk,
open doors, climb ladders and generally replace humans in hazardous situations.
In November, DARPA had held a $2 million contest to build a robot that could
take the place of humans in battle fields. For home, companies are designing robots that are more sophisticated
than today's vacuum-cleaner robots. Hoaloha Robotics recently said, it planned
to build robots for elder care, an idea that, if successful, might make it
possible for more of the aging population to live independently.
Given all of this happening, I am desperately waiting to see
some ground-breaking innovation that will blow our minds away!
Hello, Akshay! This is a great post in AI new technologies! To admit, for some of the topics listed, I've just barely heard of them and never known so many actual applications! I also like the fact that you included videos to help readers get a more comprehensive view of these new inventions.
ReplyDeleteI think the next thing people should consider about these inventions is how to reduce the overall cost. This way, the cool things can be affordable and just get into people's daily life!
