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...
What Gender Is Your Roomba?Newitz, Annalee
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 ...
W: Don't worry. I am feeling much better now. M: You could have called me. W:(9) Thanks, honey. (10) It wasn't as hard as you think. I have been using a Roomba recently. M: Oh,(8) that cleaning robot? It costs a lot. Maybe $ 400? W: Actually, I got it as a ...

Do you get Ultron, or a Roomba with a knife? Data had a dark-side doppelganger, Lore, who was capable of great destruction. Some researchers are concerned about what might happen if an AGI were to start drawing conclusions we didn't expect. Conclusions that sound a lot like "I'm sorry...
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,...
Now that we’re back to the present, there is probably a natural next question on your mind: so what comes next for AI? Well, we can never entirely predict the future. However, many leading experts talk about the possible futures of AI, so we can make educated guesses. We can expect...
Brian's currently working on turning a Roomba vacuum cleaner into a WiMo (you'll find the start of that code in the sources). There's a lot of neat code there that abstracts these different bases, as well as some good stuff for talking to an inexpensive microcontroller. My goal in...
Today, artificial intelligence is all around us. The Roomba robot vacuum cleaner, Apple’s Siri voice assistant and TikTok’s algorithm are all powered by AI. What is machine learning? These days, you can’t really talk about AI without mentioning machine learning (ML). It’s the way most...
