In the year 1997, IBM developed a chess-playing computer named ‘Deep Blue’ that outperformed the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, in a chess match, twice. In 2002, Artificial intelligence for the first time stepped into the domestics and built a vacuum cleaner named ’Roomba.’ By th...
A Roomba’s model-free technique would be inadequate for such complex tasks. Examples: Dyna-Q: Dyna-Q is a hybrid reinforcement learning algorithm that combines Q-learning with planning. The agent updates its Q-values based on real interactions with the environment and on simulated experiences ...
But what if that someone is Alexa—an AI (Artificial Intelligence人工智能) speaker, or Roomba— a robot cleaner? A new study by Teres a Flanagan, a developmental psychologist from Duke University, found that kids aged four to eleven felt neither Roomb a nor Alex a should be shouted at o...
W: That's interesting. Why are you interested in this stuff all of a sudden? M: I just never realized how much it affected our day-to-day lives. Plus, my parents just got this. It's called Roomba. W: What is that? M: It's a little household robot. It can suck all the dust...
The irony is that these very systems, powering everything from spam filters to Roombas, actually brought the practical value of applied AI to everyday life. 2010s–today: AI goes mainstream In the 2010s, AI began an upswing that continues to this day. Rather than one single breakthrough,...
the first thing that probably comes to mind is a silvery humanoid, à la the day the earth stood still or c-3po (more golden, i guess, but still metallic). but there’s also the roomba , and autonomous drones , and technically also self-driving cars . a robot can be a lot of ...

Follow the bouncing ball in the print industry as we head into 2024. It’s going to be a big year! There is on-going demand for print across most segments, with personalization expanding into every nook and cranny. There are faster machines, new technolo
D. ounger kids hold a friendlier attitude to Al devices. 29. What will Flanagan probably do next? A. Examine what good manners kids show toward Al. B. Test whether Alexa is much smarter than Roomba. C. Survey how adults interact with intelligent devices. D. Study why kids think AI is...
A robot is an autonomous machine capable of sensing its environment, carrying out computations to make decisions, and performing actions in the real world. Think of theRoombarobotic vacuum. It uses sensors to autonomously drive around a room, going around furniture and avoiding stairs; it carries...
