Learning Goal: Describe the approaches and challenges involved with integrating artificial intelligence into robotics systems.

Daily Objective: Understand how A.I. is used in everyday life

 

A.I. AT HOME

I have an Amazon Echo - it's very useful.

There has been a huge number of home robots being developed.

They seemed so wonderful - let's look at Jibo:

Otto, another one last heard of in 2016

Three new home robots

A slightly different Home Security Robot - Carl

A home health robot

Zenbo and Buddy

This is a toy, but toys are an important part of home.

And Sony's new Aibo costs $3000!

Paro can help people with dementia

This one is creepy - Gatebox

And someone married this character!

Robotic furniture? Video and article.

The future?

The Google self-driving car

The Audi A7 drives by itself on the Autobahn.

The test Google car - no steering wheel, pedals or brakes.

Waymo

GM's autonomous car design

And this should have been in 'business', but I felt it fit better here:
Trucks can now drive autonomously in Nevada. (This is a couple of years old now.)

The difference between the Tesla Auto pilot and a real robot car and the self-driving car scale.

And who is responsible for problems - that's still a sticky question, but look at GM's response.

Will we actually own these cars?

Why do we need autonomous cars?

Other countries may not agree - India won't allow autonomous cars, as they feel it will cause job loss.
China is limiting digital mapping by foreign countries.

Now, let's look at the Internet of Things:

How It Works - the Internet of Things

Internet of Things as fast as possible

What is the Internet of Things?

How the Internet of Things will change the world

Some applications:

......... a clever medical kit

..........a smart home adaptor that can be controlled with a smartphone

......... an A/C filter that tell the owner when it becomes clogged

 

So how do you do this?

The Internet's best-kept secret - IF This Then That (I'm having a problem with this video)

And it's not just for machines - you can use IFTTT for personal things: IFTTT recipes for Social Media

BUT.......

Look at what happened:

And, if you want to get really creepy, and want to keep your BFF .... forever, what about

Mind Clones?
