Künstliche Intelligenzen und Roboter werden in unserem Leben immer selbstverständlicher. Was erwarten wir von den intelligenten Maschinen, wie verändert ihre Präsenz in unserem Alltag und die Interaktion mit ihnen unser Selbstverständnis und unseren Umgang mit anderen Menschen? Müssen wir Roboter als eine Art menschliches Gegenüber anerkennen? Und welche Freiheiten wollen wir den Maschinen einräumen? Es ist dringend an der Zeit, die ethischen und rechtlichen Fragen zu klären.

What has the ability to move and show its colors, is made only of silicone rubber and manufactured at the millimeter scale? A soft robotic peacock spider. Researchers have combined three different manufacturing techniques to create a novel origami-inspired soft material microfabrication process that goes beyond what existing approaches can achieve at this small scale.

RoboFly Is the First Flying Insect-Size Robot that Can Soar Without a Tether
If you keep up on tech news, you’ve probably seen a handful of robotic flying insects over the past few years. We’ve even featured a few of them here on Hackster. But, as impressive as those have been, they all “cheat” in the sense that they’re not actually completely self-contained. Because batteries and microcontrollers are heavy, those remain stationary on the ground and connect to the robot itself with tiny wires.

Boston Dynamics, the company voted most likely to spawn the Robopocalypse, has released a pair of new videos showcasing the latest abilities of its synthetic creations.
A freakishly realistic humanoid robot running effortlessly through grassy fields and managing challenging terrain. A dog-like machine autonomously navigating the complex maze of an office and lab facility. What could possibly go wrong?
From previous videos, we know that the humanoid robot Atlas is capable of some incredible physical feats, such as stacking boxes, performing backflips, and occasionally providing some needed comic relief. Up until this point, however, we’ve never seen this bipedal machine do its work outside.

A group of Toyota engineers was inspired by the Japanese manga about basketball and in its free time built a robot that can throw the ideal three-pointer into the basket. After the robot was tested and finalized, the Japanese arranged a test for their pupils - a match with professional basketball players. And he won all.
It is claimed that the robot basketball player was trained with AI, but on video, his behavior looks much simpler: he rolls on wheels and repeats the same movements again and again. However, this uncomplicated and uncreative behavior was enough to defeat several players from the professional league. The robot is simply more consistent and regular in its actions. To win, it is enough just to make fewer mistakes than a person.
"CUE" of humanoid robot who learns shoot form with artificial intelligence (AI). On the 20th in the practice range of Arvalq Tokyo in Fuchu, Tokyo, shoot showdown by cue and A Tokyo players was held. While the queue decided ten consecutive lines, the pair of Zac Balance key player and Ando Ozuya picked up failed in the sixth line. Ando played "I thought he would take off about 1, but ... I feel frustrated.

It’s nice to see that Boston Dynamics has continued its ground-breaking robotics research after Alphabet (Google) sold the lab to Japan’s Softbank last year, but why does every video it releases serve to make us more anxious about the future?
A giant robo-dog that helps out around the house sounds like a dream come true. But I can’t imagine much good coming from one that can open the front door with a clever manipulation of its gripping arm and legs.

Artificial muscles could make soft robots safer and stronger. Researchers at the Wyss Institute, Harvard SEAS, and MIT CSAIL have developed a novel design approach for origami-inspired artificial muscles, capable of lifting 1000x its own weight.
The muscles are made of a compressible skeleton and air or fluid medium encased in a flexible skin, and are powered by pressure difference. The muscle motions are programmed based on the structural geometry of the skeleton. Multi-directional motions can also be programmed into the material. Artificial muscles can also grip, lift, and twist objects.
A variety of materials and fabrication methods can be used to create low-cost artificial muscles. These artificial muscles are fast, light-weight, and powerful, and could be used for miniature medical devices, deployable structures, or wearable robotics.

Before humanity sets foot on Mars, bees are more likely to do so, or at least their robotic version. Biorobots—machines that emulate the functioning of biological organisms—have reached space exploration with Marsbees, NASA’s plan to explore all corners of the red planet, even those where their rovers can’t reach.
The US space agency has had great success with its rovers, especially Curiosity and Opportunity, but these are limited in the extent of land they can cover. The rocky terrain of Mars is hellish for everything that moves on wheels, so the idea of NASA’s aerospace engineers is to use robots that can collect data by flying over the surface.

Ein autonomer Roboter läuft fast wie ein Mensch durch die Gegend und springt über einen Baumstamm. Ein anderer klettert eine Treppe hinauf. Gruselige Videos zeigen die Fähigkeiten aktueller autonomer Roboter.
Der US-Roboterspezialist Boston Dynamics hat seinen zweibeinigen, autonomen Roboter Atlas weiter entwickelt. Der Roboter kann sich nun auch im Freien selbstständig bewegen und dort autonom seinen Weg finden. Atlas ähnelt vom äußern Aufbau her einem Menschen. Wenn man ihn dann wie auf diesem Youtube-Video durch einen Park beziehungsweise Garten joggen sieht, könnte man glatt glauben, dass sich ein menschlicher Jogger als Roboter verkleidet habe.

At Tohoku University, there's now a robot that teaches dance. But the goal isn't to put human dance teachers out of work -- instead, scientists are using the project to gather information on how humans can get comfortably close with with robots. If we're going to spending a lot of time with robots in the future, might as well make it easier.

Japanese engineers unveiled on Wednesday (April 25) a robot that transforms into a car that can actually carry people on board, in what they said was the first-ever such accomplishment in the history of robots.
The 3.7-metre (12.1-feet)-tall two-seater robot "J-deite RIDE" can transform into a sportscar in a process that takes about a minute. It can technically walk at 30 km/h (18.6 mph) or run on its four wheels but developers said they've never really tested it outside the factory cargo bay area.
CEO of Brave Robotics, Kenji Ishida, who initiated the co-project with Asratec, an affiliate of the Japanese mobile phone giant SoftBank, and a roller coaster manufacturer Sansei Technologies, said he was motivated by his childhood transformer heroes in anime movies.
While admitting that it may seem like an expensive toy, Ishida said the robot is an attempt to inspire others and broaden the human imagination. Developers said they will begin with utilizing the technology in entertainment industry, such as amusement park and street parades.

Sand Flea is an 11-lb robot with one trick up its sleeve: Normally it drives like an RC car, but when it needs to it can jump 30 feet into the air. An onboard stabilization system keeps it oriented during flight to improve the view from the video uplink and to control landings. Current development of Sand Flea is funded by the The US Army's Rapid Equipping Force. For more information visit www.BostonDynamics.com.

Using robots to assist humans, especially in conditions that are dangerous is one of the most valuable applications of technology. This Sand Flea, a small robot that can jump 30 feet and is small enough to get in tight spaces is one example.
That's what Ava Robotics, a spinoff of iRobot focusing on collaborative mobile robots for everyday life, says its newly unveiled product offers.
The flagship robot, suitably named Ava, is a roving video conferencing machine designed to beam off-site workers into offices in a more embodied, collaborative way than dial-in or traditional video conferencing.
The company is picking up where iRobot left off with its original telepresence machine, the Ava 500. In 2013, iRobot rolled out the Ava 500 in partnership with Cisco, and for a while, it was considered the cream of the crop in a growing field of telepresence devices.
With a nearly $70,000 price tag, however, the relevance of the Ava 500 has waned with the arrival of cheaper options with similar feature sets.

Die Veranstalter von Olympia 2018 sprechen von den Roboterspielen von Pyeongchang. Das Event soll auch die Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Maschine in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Einiges könnte zukunftsweisend sein.
Einmal dieses Feuer zu tragen ist der Traum unzähliger Sportfans. Jedes Mal bewerben sich etliche Begeisterte um einen Moment als Fackelträger, sobald die olympische Flamme ihre lange Reise vom vorigen Veranstaltungsort zum nächsten zurücklegt. Doch diesmal, auf dem Weg ins südkoreanische Pyeongchang, waren die Sekunden des Ruhms noch schwieriger zu kriegen als sonst. Zwei Träger stahlen allen anderen die Show: Sie heißen Hubo und FX-2 und dürften sich weder um ihren Job gerissen noch Stolz verspürt haben. Sie sind zwei von vielen Vorzeigerobotern Südkoreas.

Das New Yorker Unternehmen Emoshape zeigt auf der CES einen Prozessor, der es elektronischen Geräten unter anderem ermöglichen soll, Mitgefühl für Menschen zu empfinden.
Die meisten CES-Besucher, die am Stand von Emoshape vorbeikommen, haben zunächst Schwierigkeiten zu verstehen, was dort gezeigt wird. Zu sehen ist erst einmal nur eine kleine, für rund 250 US-Dollar vorbestellbare USB-Box mit der Bezeichnung "ExoLife Emotion Engine", die über Unity und UE4 VR-Spiele steuern kann. Doch die Box ist nur ein Vehikel für die "Emotion Processing Unit II" (EPU II), einem von EmoShape über einen Zeitraum von vier Jahren entwickelten Prozessor, der in Echtzeit Gefühle von Menschen erkennen und darauf passend reagieren soll.
Erkannt werden dabei laut Entwickler zwölf verschieden Grundemotionen: Angst, Bedauern, Ekel, Erwartung, Freude, Gleichgültigkeit, Traurigkeit, Überraschung, Verlangen, Vertrauen, Zorn und Zuversicht. In verschiedenen Kombinationen und mit unterschiedlichen Abstufungen würden sogar 64 Milliarden emotionale Zustände in Echtzeit erfasst.
