  • Robot Astronaut Kirobo Awarded Two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Titles
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 27, 2015 Robot Astronaut Kirobo Awarded Two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Titles Dentsu Inc. (Tokyo: 4324; ISIN: JP3551520004; President & CEO: Tadashi Ishii; Head Office: Tokyo; Capital: 74,609.81 million yen) announced today that Kirobo, the robot astronaut developed under the KIBO ROBOT PROJECT, a joint research project carried out in collaboration with the University of Tokyo’s Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, ROBO GARAGE Co., Ltd., Toyota Motor Corporation, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), has been awarded two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles. Kirobo arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on August 10, 2013 and spent a total of eighteen months there, holding the world’s first conversation experiment in outer space between a robot and a human, JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata, and conducting research for a future in which humans and robots coexist. On February 10, Kirobo came safely back to Earth aboard SpaceX’s CRS-5 Dragon cargo supply spacecraft which splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off California, and then arrived back in Japan on March 12. Kirobo’s first words after returning home were: “From up above, the Earth glowed like a blue LED.” At the debriefing session held today at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, the project members gave a summary report and showed a video of the highlights of Kirobo’s activities aboard the ISS. The session was chaired by Fuminori Kataoka, project general manager in the Product Planning Group of Toyota Motor Corporation, and the two speakers were Tomotaka Takahashi, the president of ROBO GARAGE Co., Ltd.

  • Toyota's Tiny Robot Sells for Under $400, Talks, Can't Drive
    Name: _______________________________________ English IV: NTI Day 1 Assignment Toyota's tiny robot sells for under $400, talks, can't drive By Yuri Kageyama, Associated Press 10.13.16 Toyota Motor Corp.'s Kirobo Mini, a compact humanoid communication robot, sits during a press unveiling in Tokyo, Japan, September 27, 2016. The new robot from the Japanese automaker can't do much but chatter in a high-pitched voice. Photo: AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi TOKYO — The new robot from Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. can't do much but chatter in a high-pitched voice. The 39,800-yen ($390), 10-centimeter (4-inch)-tall, doll-like Kirobo Mini — whose name comes from "kibo," or "hope," and "robot" — supposedly has the smarts of a 5-year-old. Fuminori Kataoka, general manager in charge of the project, says its value is emotional, going from home to car to the outdoors as a faithful companion, although the owner must do all the walking and driving. Preorders start later this year. Shipments are set for next year. No overseas sales are planned so far. The company said it planned a gradual rollout, initially limited to Tokyo and Aichi prefecture in central Japan, near company headquarters, to get feedback from consumers. It comes equipped with a camera, microphone and Bluetooth, and connects to a smartphone, which needs to be installed with a special software application. It turns its head toward a voice, although sometimes that function fails as its voice recognition is far from perfect. "Toyota has been making cars that have a lot of valuable uses.

Indeed, the use of robots that process data remotely causes privacy concerns. There are some main factors that could increase the capabil- ity of violating the users' privacy, such as the robots' appearance, perception, or navigation capability, as well as the lack of authentication, the lack of warning sys- tem, and the characteristics of the application.

  • The Relationship Between Artificial Intelligence, Human Communication and Ethics
    Media Literacy and Academic Research photo: Marcel Nagy - KEFA FMK UCM Crînguța – Irina Pelea The Relationship Between Artificial Intelligence, Human Communication and Ethics. A Futuristic Perspective: Utopia or Dystopia? ABSTRACT In today’s society, Artificial Intelligence is continuously evolving, with remarkable speed and it has a considerable impact on the community as a whole, starting with medicine, education, industry, and it affects communication in human relations. Once one can no longer deny this technological advancement with many implications on our lives, a new topic of discussion and academic research arises: to what extent will it be necessary to redefine the parameters of communication and the relationships between the individual, the group, the society, and the Artificial Intelligence. The present research tackles several problematic aspects related to AI in the present and some that may arise in the near future when robots will probably become a commodity. First, the author will investigate the communication relationship between AI and the individual, now, given the fact that the excessive use of technology recalibrates and reformulates the way one perceives and envisages the harmony and the efficiency of the communication process. Second, the connection between AI and ethics is another topic of high interest now, and even though the flourishing development of AI supposedly has as a mission the benefit of humankind, many ethical dilemmas keep arising and feed collective social anxiety, while no satisfying and consistent solutions seem to be found. Globalisation and technological progress mark another turning point for contemporary society, which witnesses an unforeseen academic impasse of knowledge, meaning that it is prone to reconfigure stable academic disciplines and to estimate the emergence of new ones, dictated by post-contemporary global necessities.

  • Robot Revolution Fun Facts
    OMSI Media Contact John Farmer | [email protected] | 503.797.4517 ROBOT REVOLUTION FUN FACTS Robot Revolution includes about 40 robots from all the over the world—including Japan, Poland, Denmark, Germany, China, Canada, as well as coast to coast throughout the U.S. Robot history: “Robot” comes from the Czech word “robota,” which means forced work or labor. It was first used to denote a fictional humanoid in the 1921 play, “R.U.R.” by the Czech writer, Karel Čapek. The history of robotics dates back to the fifth century B.C., when Archytas of Tarentum, a friend of Plato’s and a renowned mathematical scientist, built a mechanical bird driven by a jet of steam or compressed air—arguably history’s first robot. Al-Jazari, a Muslim engineer and inventor, built what is believed to be the first programmable humanoid robots in 1206. They were musicians that played instruments while floating in a boat on a lake to entertain royal guests. Alan Turing, in a 1950 paper, proposed a test called "The Imitation Game" that proposes a solution to determining machine intelligence. It tests the machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Since then, the Turing test has become an essential concept in the philosophy of artificial intelligence. The first toy robot for consumer purchase is believed to be the yellow tin robot, Lilliput, made and sold in Japan in the mid-1940s. Today, consumers can buy robotic toys ranging in price from $15 up to $1,000. In 1954, inventor George Devol secured patents for robot technology.

  • Yeni Nesil İnsansı Astrobotlar
    Yeni Nesil İnsansı Astrobotlar lade Runner 2049 filminde “kopya” adı verilen insansı robotlar vardır. Tıpkı insan gibi görünen ama çok daha güçlü, çok daha hızlı ve çok daha dayanıklı olan robotlar. Bu robotların bazıları uzay B araştırmalarında da kullanılırlar1. 2049 yılına da filmdeki kopyalara da daha çok zaman var ama uzayın keşfinde kullanılan insansı robotlar hayatımıza girmeye başladılar. Amerikan Ulusal Havacılık ve Uzay Dairesinin (NASA) kadrosunda bir süredir insanların yanı sıra insansı robotlar da yer alıyor. İnsanlar için tehlikeli ortamlarda görev yapmak üzere geliştirilen Valkyrie ve Uluslararası Uzay İstasyonu’nda rutin görevleri yerine getirmekte kullanılan Robonaut 2, NASA bünyesinde başarıyla hizmet veriyor. Şimdi NASA’nın robot kadrosuna yeni robotlar ekleniyor zira NASA, yeni nesil insansı robot yapmak için kolları sıvıyor2. Peki, elinde başarısı kanıtlanmış robotlar bulunan NASA neden yeni nesil insansı robotlara ihtiyaç duyuyor? Ya da mevcut platformlardan birini seçmek yerine neden yeni bir robot geliştirme ihtiyacı duyuyor? Bu soruların cevabı (NASA’dan resmi bir açıklama gelmediği için) spekülasyon olarak nitelenebilir. Ancak teknoloji çevrelerine göre neden ortada: NASA uzayda, ayda ve Mars’ta görev yapacak robotlar geliştirmek istiyor3. NASA’nın mevcut robotları dünyada çalışmak üzere tasarlandı. Her ne kadar Robonaut 2’nin Uluslararası Uzay İstasyonu’na tayini çıksa da uzay boşluğunda çalışmak başka beceriler gerektiriyor. Ay ya da Mars yüzeyi de öyle. Bu konuda ısınma turları Uluslararası Uzay İstasyonu’nda gerçekleştiriliyor. İlk üretildiğinde gövdeden ibaret olan Robonaut’a bacak ekleyen NASA, insansı robotu yeniden uzaya göndermeye hazırlanıyor. Hareketli hale gelen Robonaut, halen uzayda bulunan Astrobee adı verilen uçan robotları bir arada kullanacak4. Yani 1970’lerin sonunda yayınlanan TV dizisi Buck Rogers’ın Twiki’si ve Star Wars’taki Luke Skywalker’ın C-3PO ve R2-D2’si gibi, Uluslararası Uzay İstasyonu’nda görevli astronotların da yan yana çalışacakları Astrobee’leri ve Robonaut’ları olacak5.
