2023-07-14 13:43:44 Theme of the New Science: A Machine-Intelligent World

There is a wide collection of texts available on AI, ranging from less specialized to highly specialized, all in the public domain. I will provide three examples to illustrate this point.

"How do we know how smart AI systems are?" How close are we to achieving the original objective of creating machine intelligence at or beyond the level of human intelligence?

"Improving artificial intelligence with games." Games continue to be a driving force in advancing AI development, as researchers are now tackling the more intricate and diverse challenges presented by modern video games.

"Using machine learning to decode animal communication." Researchers are using machine learning techniques to unravel the complexities of animal communication systems, seeking to understand and interpret their methods of communication.

2023-07-14 11:59:04 THIS SUIT CAN IMPROVE MOBILITY FOR STROKE OR PARKINSON’S PATIENTS

The single-piece suit is equipped with 58 imbedded electrodes, which are adjust to the user’s individual needs
The Exopulse Mollii Suite is proving extremely valuable for patients that experiences celebral palsy, or the consequences of a stroke or the Parkinson’s disease.

The low-frequency #electrostimulation improves blood circulation and restores the previously inhibited balance between muscles pairs. If, for example, the bicep is tensed, the suit stimulates the tricep, which in turn causes the bicep to relax. As such, the technology works in a complementary way to functional electrical stimulation (FES), in which nerves are stimulated with small electrical impulses in order to trigger movements. by Ottobock market leader in technical orthopaedics.

2023-07-13 14:30:14 Introducing the GR-1: A Strong and Versatile Humanoid Robot by Fourier Intelligence

Chinese company Fourier Intelligence has unveiled its groundbreaking project, the GR-1 general-purpose humanoid robot. With plans to manufacture 100 units by the end of 2023, Fourier aims to create robots capable of carrying nearly their own weight, showcasing a unique focus in the field of robotics.
Fourier Intelligence is renowned for its specialization in rehabilitation technologies, offering the RehabHub platform that integrates a range of physical therapy devices. From wrist strength games to lower-body exoskeletons, these devices address various rehabilitation needs, including hand and finger grip training, balance improvement, and mobility enhancement.

The GR-1 humanoid robot, launched in 2019, may seem unexpected in Fourier's portfolio. However, the development of lower-body exoskeletons for physical therapy likely shares hardware and problem-solving aspects with robots' leg mechanisms. Read more Open / Comment
