Hanson's Sophia is an interactive social robotic that could help with therapy work, customer service in healthcare, or teaching assignments. Hanson believes Sophia will be the first step towards creating superintelligent robots. If that happens, it will be a major step forward for robotics and humanoid robot research. In the meantime, the Sophia robotics machine is a slick and cute novelty item, and we can expect it to keep getting better.
Little Sophia
This robot features many amazing features that kids will love. It is 14 inches in length, and safe for children seven to thirteen years old. She can mimic the various facial expressions of Sophia, sing stories and tell nerdy facts. It also has A.I. You can use it as a home assistant and with augmented reality technology. Her capabilities are also available for children's school projects. Little Sophia hopes more children will be interested in interacting with it.
Hanson Robotics includes engineers, scientists, and character creators. Little Sophia is an AI-based consumer robot. With more than 20 facial expressions and face tracking, Little Sophia is an ideal educational toy for kids. Little Sophia is designed to encourage STEM education. The robot hopes to inspire children to study STEM subjects like science, technology engineering, mathematics, and engineering (STEM).
Robots with humanoid features
Hanson Robotics from Hong Kong, an engineering company, is planning to mass-produce humanoid machines for doctors and hospitals. The creation of Sophia, which was launched last year, attracted worldwide attention. According to Hanson Robotics, Sophia-like robots will be able to do everything from monitor body temperatures to lead people through aerobic exercises. Sophia is expected this year to hit the markets.
Since its inception, the company has concentrated its efforts on building robots that are human-like. The company's first robot, "Alice", was created for MIRA Labs, Geneva, Switzerland. It was designed to have an emotional expression and function as a cognitive robotics research assistant. Hanson Robotics was also a founding member in the INDIGO consortium of cognitive robotics. Hanson Robotics has also created HUBO, a humanoid robotic that mimics the voice and speech of Albert Einstein. The robotics company plans to produce four models by 2021.
Dr. David Hanson
David Hanson, inventor, has a strong resume. He has a Ph.D. and a BFA in Interactive Arts from RISD. He has had his work displayed at the Tokyo Modern, Reina Sofia, and Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial. He has also won numerous awards for his work and collaborated with various artists. Hanson is well-known for his robot Sophia.
Hanson explains that Sophia's artificial intelligence, advanced aesthetics, and human-like personality are what Hanson hopes to make the robot more humanlike. He believes that although the robot is far from perfect, it will become more human-like over time. In the future, interactive social robots such as Sophia could be used for therapy and education assignments. Hanson sees the robot eventually as a step towards the development of intelligent machines that think like human beings.
Amazon's Alexa
Sophia, a humanoid robotic assistant who is also known as Sophia has become a transformative marketing tool. Sophia appeared in a romantic encounter on The Tonight Show, with Will Smith, and was also featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Even though she was controversially granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, it was not for her. But she is seldom discussed in serious AI discussions. She is often associated with blockchain conferences, which seems to be increasing in popularity.
The company behind Sophia has partnered with Singularity Studios to develop an open-source blockchain that will allow its platform to feed other AI modules with compensation. The company intends to use the technology for Sophia's feeding with information from other services. The company hopes to eventually sell millions of Graces. Amazon and others are looking to use the technology to aid the elderly.
FAQ
How does AI work
An algorithm refers to a set of instructions that tells computers how to solve problems. An algorithm can be expressed as a series of steps. Each step has a condition that dictates when it should be executed. A computer executes each instruction sequentially until all conditions are met. This continues until the final results are achieved.
For example, suppose you want the square root for 5. You could write down each number between 1-10 and calculate the square roots for each. Then, take the average. This is not practical so you can instead write the following formula:
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This is how to square the input, then divide it by 2 and multiply by 0.5.
Computers follow the same principles. It takes the input and divides it. Then, it multiplies that number by 0.5. Finally, it outputs its answer.
How do you think AI will affect your job?
AI will eventually eliminate certain jobs. This includes drivers, taxi drivers as well as cashiers and workers in fast food restaurants.
AI will bring new jobs. This includes jobs like data scientists, business analysts, project managers, product designers, and marketing specialists.
AI will simplify current jobs. This applies to accountants, lawyers and doctors as well as teachers, nurses, engineers, and teachers.
AI will make existing jobs more efficient. This includes jobs like salespeople, customer support representatives, and call center, agents.
How does AI function?
An artificial neural network consists of many simple processors named neurons. Each neuron receives inputs form other neurons and uses mathematical operations to interpret them.
Layers are how neurons are organized. Each layer has its own function. The first layer receives raw data, such as sounds and images. These are then passed on to the next layer which further processes them. The last layer finally produces an output.
Each neuron has a weighting value associated with it. This value is multiplied with new inputs and added to the total weighted sum of all prior values. If the result is greater than zero, then the neuron fires. It sends a signal down the line telling the next neuron what to do.
This is repeated until the network ends. The final results will be obtained.
How will governments regulate AI
The government is already trying to regulate AI but it needs to be done better. They must make it clear that citizens can control the way their data is used. They must also ensure that AI is not used for unethical purposes by companies.
They also need ensure that we aren’t creating an unfair environment for different types and businesses. You should not be restricted from using AI for your small business, even if it's a business owner.
