The DeepMind robotics team has revealed three new advances that it says will help robots make faster, better, and safer decisions in the wild. One includes a system for gathering training data with a “Robot Constitution” to make sure your robot office assistant can fetch you more printer paper — but without mowing down a human co-worker who happens to be in the way. Google’s data gathering system, AutoRT, can use a visual language model (VLM) and large language model (LLM) working… Source link

As if it weren’t enough to have AI tanning humanity’s hide (figuratively for now) at every board game in existence, Google AI has got one working to destroy us all at ping pong as well. For now they emphasize it is “cooperative,” but at the rate these things improve, it will be taking on pros in no time. The project, called i-Sim2Real, isn’t just about ping pong but rather about building a robotic system that can work with and around fast-paced and relatively unpredictable… Source link

Late last week, Google research scientist Fei Xia sat in the center of a bright, open-plan kitchen and typed a command into a laptop connected to a one-armed, wheeled robot resembling a large floor lamp. “I’m hungry,” he wrote. The robot promptly zoomed over to a nearby countertop, gingerly picked up a bag of multigrain chips with a large plastic pincer, and wheeled over to Xia to offer up a snack. The most impressive thing about that demonstration, held in Google’s robotics lab in… Source link

Forget about that crazy-thin foldable phone from earlier. Xiaomi just beat Tesla to unveiling a working humanoid robot prototype at a live event earlier today, and yes, it looks awfully familiar. The Xiaomi CyberOne is 177cm (5.8 feet) tall, weighs 52kg (115 pounds), is nicknamed “Metal Bro” and is also somehow given a zodiac sign, Leo. After a short walk to the middle of the stage, the CyberOne gave CEO Lei Jun a flower (for some reason), before it politely accepted a selfie with the man… Source link

Dispatch companies are trying to find ways of making home deliveries more efficient, among other things through autonomous solutions. Russian company Yandex, which is active in Israel through taxi service Yango and delivery service Yango Deli, has in recent months been running a pilot scheme in Tel Aviv of robots that deliver groceries to consumers. Now, however, because of complaints of residents of interference with their movement on sidewalks, the project has been suspended…. Source link

Yandex, the multi-billion dollar Russian tech company that’s been operating a small fleet of autonomous vehicles in Ann Arbor, Michigan, laid off over two dozen US-based workers earlier this month, claiming that its vehicle licenses were suspended by Michigan’s state regulators, The Verge has learned. But Michigan says this just isn’t true. In the days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Yandex paused its AV testing in Ann Arbor, as well as its tests with six-wheeled delivery… Source link

Just eight months after announcing a robotic delivery partnership with Yandex Self-Driving Group, a division of the Russian multinational tech group, Grubhub has severed its ties in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. First announced last July, Grubhub signed a multi-year partnership with Yandex to enable faster, more cost-effective deliveries via robots on U.S. college campuses. According to a press release announcing the deal, Yandex autonomous bots… Source link
