Highly Advanced, New Kind of Robot Courtesy:  MIT MIT Robot Has Interactive Perception & Sophisticated Manipulation to Play Jenga MIT engineers are on a robotic roll.  They've created a robot that combines vision and touch to remove Jenga blocks without toppling the tower of the game.  This is being called a new kind of robot using interactive perception and sophisticated manipulation that experts are calling remarkable robotics. Robot Well Equipped The robot has a gripper that is soft pronged.  It also is equipped with an external camera and a force-sensing wrist cuff - all of which enables it to play "a mean game of Jenga."  In Jenga, players take turns at taking out a block from a tower of 54 blocks and then place the block on top, making it more unstable. Whoever causes it to topple loses. Remarkable Robotics' Machine Learning The robot uses machine learning to select the perfect block to take out.  It uses feedback from the camera and cuffs to co

Daring Bands of Robot Explorers for Ocean, Space and Earth Source:  MIT Algorithm Breakthrough by MIT and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Scientists MIT and WHOI scientists have created a new algorithm that enables marine robots to take calculated risks on whether to research unknown, vast regions in the ocean worthy of scientific exploration.  It's an algorithm that enables robots to calculate risk versus opportunity. UAV Explorers They are autonomous underwater vehicles (UAV's).  The robots are very expensive and are designed to explore new worlds.  This new algorithm technology lets the robots calculate if the potential reward of going into dangerous geographies is worth the risk.  According to MIT and WHOI scientists, the algorithm is the first to enable "risk-bounded adaptive sampling."  It is the robot determining if the potential is worth the risk.  The project was supported by NASA.  It may also be used by robots in space.
