The Future of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (Andrew Ng, Stanford University, STAN 2011)


(May 21, 2011) Andrew Ng (Stanford University) is building robots to improve the lives of millions. From autonomous helicopters to robotic perception, Ng's research in machine learning and artificial intelligence could result one day in a robot that can clean your house. STAN: Society, Technology, Art and Nature, was Stanford University's prototype conferecne for TEDxStanford, and showcased some of the university's top faculty, students, alumni and performers in an intense four-hour event laced with surprising appearances and memorable experiences. STAN, modeled after TED, explored big questions about society, technology, art and nature in a format that invites feedback and engagement.

M-1iA Electronic Connector Assembly Robot - FANUC Robotics Industrial Automation


Robotic Assembly System - fanucrobotics.com The FANUC M-1iA/0.5A is a six-axis robot with a unique parallel-link design, making it ideal for the assembly application we'll see in this video. In this assembly demonstration, electric connector pins are moved into the robot's work area along an infeed conveyor. These pins are randomly oriented and are visible to the M-1iA robot through a built-in camera that utilizes FANUC Robotics' 2D iRVision. There are two cameras used in this system. The first camera -- mounted on the head of the M-1iA robot - faces downward, and detects the orientation of the randomly located pins on the conveyor. A monitor shows what this camera is seeing. Once a pin is picked up from the conveyor, the robot presents the end of the pin to a second camera used to find the pin's orientation. This second camera is mounted below the robot work area. Once the pin's orientation is verified, the good pin is placed into an insulated connector assembly. Through FANUC iRVision, the robot is also able to detect defective pins. If a bad pin is found, the robot does not place the pin into the connector assembly, but instead drops it into a reject pile and continues its work. Once this insulated connector reaches its capacity, the job is complete; so the tray recycles the pins back to the conveyor, and the demonstration starts over.

Robotic Roommates Shopping for and Preparing Bavarian Breakfast


In the first part of the video below, you can see TUM-James, a PR2 Beta Programm robot, and TUM-Rosie cooperatively preparing the traditional Bavarian Weisswurst Frühstück (Bavarian Sausage Breakfast). TUM-Rosie is collecting the sausages, putting them into the pot with boiling water, waiting for them to be cooked and, finally, finding and getting them out of the pot into the serving bowl. TUM-James is meanwhile slicing the french baguette using a regular electric bread slicer and in the end serving the sausages and the bread to the class of highly regarded roboticists. In the second part of the video, TUM-James is shown simulating the shopping task, bringing the groceries home and placing them to the places they are meant to be stored in. It uses 3D perception algorithms from PCL in order to detect object candidates in the storage rack and ODUfinder system to recognize them. Grasping and manipulation of the shopping basket is done using James's haptic capabilities. Finally, to infer where do the objects belong to, TUM-James queries KnowRob system and computes the maximum WUP similarity (aka relatedness) to the other objects in the kitchen's ontology.

Snake Robot Climbs a Tree


From the Biorobotics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, a snake robot (Snakebot) demonstrates how it can climb a tree and look around. Please keep in mind that this robot climbed a specific tree with a specific trunk width about 1 meter off of the ground. The researchers working to design, build and program these robots still have much work to do to get these bots to climb taller trees of various sizes and to navigate over branches and wires.
