Ubuntu could force itself to look at that creepy-looking canine robot CyberDog

by Leave a Comment

Canonical, the company which manages the Ubuntu open-source operating system, is reportedly planning to deepen its understanding of a creepy-looking canine robot called CyberDog – probably giving itself nightmares in the process.

CyberDog is a quadrupedal, experimental, open-source robot created by Chinese mobile phone giant Xiaomi. This canine robot is eerily similar to the other, more famous and even more terrifying robot dog produced by Boston Dynamics. That one – called Spot – is also open source.

Xiaomi says its aim in releaasing CyberDog is to “improve the robot development environment and promote the development of the robot industry”. Xiaomi says it has a clear vision for its product. [Read more…] about Ubuntu could force itself to look at that creepy-looking canine robot CyberDog

Developers Using AI to Automate Custom Software Engineering Processes

by Leave a Comment

Developers around the world are using advanced artificial intelligence to effectively automate custom software engineering processes.

There are several distinct use cases for AI in manufacturing, software programming, and technological innovation. In fact, more then 50 percent of tech professionals are already using these solutions to streamline repetitive tasks, minimize human error, and reduce workforce expenses.

When properly integrated into the custom software development life cycle (SDLC), programmers can make faster decisions, operate 24/7, and accelerate product releases. As a programmer yourself, this may even help you solve complex problems and maximize operational efficiency. Read on to learn about the developers using AI to automate custom software engineering processes. [Read more…] about Developers Using AI to Automate Custom Software Engineering Processes

Software that is Helping the Development of Robotics

by Leave a Comment

Are robotics something to get excited about?

When we think of robotics, we think of terminator, C3PO, and Wall-E, but there is so much more to it than just our beloved fictional characters, with developments in robotics having real-world consequences. Over the past few decades, the explosion in robotic technology has meant that we have been able to put a rover on Mars and send probes into deep space.

These robots of the future are not your stereotypical robots from pop culture, but they are incredible nonetheless and will change the world we know forever. We have passed the point of no return, and with the development of AI coming along too, things are really heating up. [Read more…] about Software that is Helping the Development of Robotics
