GF2045 - Future Human Evolution Uses Advanced Technology to Achieve Immortality. 無題. Roboethics(Robot Ethics) Info Database | Roboethics(Robot Ethics) Info Database: A Place to Talk about the Newest Technologies and the Ethical Issues Behind Them. Commentary » Google It’s exciting for the robotics community that the giants (Google, Apple, and Amazon) are actively investing in robotics. Indeed, my initial response to hearing about Google’s first seven of a series of acquisitions of robotics-related companies was a very positive one (these companies include Shaft, Industrial Perception, Meka Robotics, Redwood Robotics, Bot & Dolly, Autofuss, and Holomni, see Frank Tobe’s article for more details on these companies). Technologies from these companies are ones that can make robots mobile, perceptive, responsive, and interactive.

Even if Google’s actual direction is to put bipedal robots in self-driving cars so that people can enjoy fast, fully-autonomous door-to-door delivery of flowers on Valentine’s Day, my view was that such investments can only be good for the robotics community. Then I began to feel a little bit uneasy when Google acquired Boston Dynamics. What does this all mean? **This post was first published on Robohub.org. Recent News. A new web site, co-founded by Illah Nourbakhsh, professor of robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, will share the insights of leading thinkers and experts in robotics regarding the popular news media’s coverage of robotics.

Through thoughtful articles and commentaries, RobotRadar.org explores the wider impacts of robots and robotics on society. Each report is written by a robotics expert in response to an article published in the popular media. Constrained by space and deadlines, popular reporting of robotics often merely scratches at the surface and fails to accurately reflect the underlying science, or fully explore the social and ethical ramifications of research developments, the site’s founders say. “We wanted to create a mechanism that would allow roboticists to comment critically on news reports,” Nourbakhsh said, “allowing them to add in the caveats and more subtle analyses that will lead to more informed debate about the role and place of robots in society.” Robot Radar.
