Apple reportedly exploring new human-robot training method using Vision Pro

May 22, 2025 by Sam Francis

Apple is investigating a more effective way to train humanoid robots by incorporating human instructors alongside robot demonstrators, a novel combined strategy the company has dubbed “PH2D”, according to a report on Apple Insider.

This development was detailed in a research paper published on Wednesday, just a week after the tech giant unveiled its Matrix3D and StreamBridge AI models, signaling a continued push into artificial intelligence and robotics.

The research paper, titled “Humanoid Policy ~ Human Policy”, addresses the shortcomings of conventional robot-training techniques and puts forward a new, scalable, and cost-effective solution. [Read more…] about Apple reportedly exploring new human-robot training method using Vision Pro

What are AI agents and what do they do?

May 19, 2025 by Sam Francis

Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic fantasy; it’s a present-day reality, increasingly being woven into the fabric of our lives. 

But beyond the general understanding of AI as systems that can learn and make decisions, a more dynamic and autonomous form is rapidly emerging: AI agents.

These aren’t just passive algorithms; they are active participants, designed to perceive their environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals, often acting with a significant degree of autonomy on behalf of a user, an organization, or another system.

Levels of intelligence: Navigating the future of AI, from robotic arms to autonomous cars

May 17, 2025 by Mai Tao

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic fantasy; it’s rapidly becoming an integral part of our daily lives, from the smartphones in our pockets to the complex systems powering industries.

As AI capabilities expand and grow more sophisticated, so does the need to understand and categorize these evolving forms of intelligence.

The concept of “levels of AI” offers a framework to discuss capabilities, manage our expectations, address safety concerns, and potentially guide regulation. [Read more…] about Levels of intelligence: Navigating the future of AI, from robotic arms to autonomous cars

New book by academic experts questions whether humans are ready for the ethical challenges of AI and robots

January 9, 2025 by Mark Allinson

As artificial intelligence rapidly advances, robots are becoming smarter and more human-like, presenting new ethical challenges. In a new book, scholars from Japan, Italy, the United States, and other countries examine the legal, policy, and regulatory issues surrounding human-robot interaction.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-enabled robots are becoming a bigger part of our daily lives. Real-time, flexible interactions between humans and robots are no longer just science fiction.

As robots become smarter and more human-like in both behavior and appearance, they are transforming from mere tools to potential partners and social entities.

This rapid evolution presents significant challenges to our legal and ethical frameworks, including concerns about privacy, safety, and regulation in the context of AI and robots.

Sotheby’s auctions painting by a robot for $1.124 million

November 11, 2024 by Mark Allinson

The New York branch of Sotheby’s, one of the world’s most prestigious auction houses when it comes to fine art and artefacts, has just sold a painting by a robot for more than $1.124 million.

The painting, called “AI God – Portrait of Alan Turing”, was produced by the humanoid robot Ai-Da, which readers of this website will probably know from our previous coverage, and which has its own website.

The estimated sale price of the mixed-media work was listed as being between $120,000 to $180,000 by Sotheby’s, which clearly did not accurately predict how much revenue the work would generate.
