Inside AI Robotics

Exploring the Future of AI Robotics

AI Robotics is at the forefront of technological innovation with potential to revolutionize automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, defence, aerospace and agricultural industries.

Hello Inside AI Robotics Readers:

IN THIS WEEK’S EDITION

Leila Pirhaji uses artificial intelligence for drug discovery and the treatment of metabolic diseases. View her TED Talk The medical potential of AI and metabolites.

5 Things Generative AI and Robotics people are talking about

  1. This article in DirectIndustry.com discusses how AI and robotics are revolutionizing the oil and gas sector by enhancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Key initiatives include Petrobras using ANYbotics' robots for offshore inspections, SLB and INEOS Energy integrating AI for operational improvements and carbon reduction, Shell using generative AI for precision drilling, and Kawasaki's autonomous underwater vehicles for pipeline inspections. These technologies are driving significant advancements in exploration, production, refining, and logistics within the industry.

  2. This Kiplinger Letter highlights the increasing cybersecurity threats posed by generative AI. As businesses adopt AI technologies like chatbots, they face new vulnerabilities including data breaches, prompt injection attacks, and misuse of sensitive information. The article emphasizes the need for stringent AI security measures, such as vetting vendors, establishing clear policies, and employing tools to detect and prevent AI-related risks. It also warns about AI being used for cyberattacks and the rise of supply chain attacks and deepfakes.

  3. This article in TechXplore.com shows researchers at Tencent Robotics X in China have developed a new hierarchical framework to enable four-legged robots to perform agile, animal-like movements. This framework uses a three-stage reinforcement learning process to train the robots. Initially, it imitates animal movements, then it trains the robots to handle various environments, and finally, it integrates these skills to solve complex tasks. This approach has shown promising results, particularly with a quadrupedal robot named MAX.

  4. Gaming site zaman.co.at states NVIDIA is collaborating with Japan to advance AI research and development. This partnership, supported by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, aims to harness the economic potential of generative AI and develop a skilled workforce. NVIDIA will work with several Japanese digital infrastructure providers to build crucial cloud infrastructure for AI applications. The Japanese government is investing $740 million to support local firms in this initiative. This collaboration includes the development of “AI factories,” advanced data centers designed to handle demanding AI tasks, which are expected to be foundational for modern economies

  5. DataScienceCentral discusses the integration of four AI types: Generative AI (creates new content), Analytical AI (interprets data for patterns and predictions), Causal AI (understands cause-and-effect relationships), and Autonomous AI (operates independently and learns continuously). It highlights how their synergy can drive innovation and efficiency across various sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. By leveraging the strengths of each AI type, organizations can enhance decision-making and operational capabilities.
