…Or, they forget that it was happening—we focus on ChatGPT 4 but not on ChatGPT 1 to 4. Volatility is nobody's friend In March, the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Credit Suisse failures shook the robotics industry, especially since many companies had assets with them. Should we still worry? Sharma: The SVB and Swiss bank failures introduced uncertainty. For us, it's difficult because people are less likely to launch new products and indexes. It has dampened things, along with high interest rates, debt ceiling disputes, and the war in Ukraine. However, debtors had a reprieve, and retail banks are also…

…trying to augment an operation's most skilled workers. Although ChatGPT is getting a lot of hype, generative AI could be used to design more efficient hardware, Liu added. Improving connections between the office and the field for quality control is another worthy goal, said Leung. “After 20 years, we're still looking for computers that can read 2D floor plans,” she said. “We're still looking for robots that can serve big pain points, and we want to see more startups partner with industry and groups like MassRobotics. Get feedback on iterations.” From left: Diana Swenton of Suffolk Technologies with SOSV's Duncan…

…of roboticists, Viam is luring the engineers that birthed ChatGPT to revolutionize uncrewed systems with new mechanical tasks addressing everyday needs. Imagine generative AI prompts for SLAM, gripping, computer vision, and other highly manipulative tasks with drag-and-drop ease. Ethics and AI as a moving target Interviewing Horowitz recalled my discussion a few months back with Dr. Hal Thorsrud of Agnes Scott College in Georgia. Prof. Thorsrud teaches a novel philosophy course at this liberal arts institution on the “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence.” Similar to Horowitz, Thorsrud envisions an automated world whereby his graduates would be critical in thinking through the…

…computers past CPU capabilities to large language models and ChatGPT, Huang said technology and industry are at a positive “tipping point.” Omniverse hosts simulations in real time “With generative AI, you could tell a robot what you want, and it could generate animations,” Huang claimed. He showed videos that took into account real-world physics and lighting and ran in simulation without any pre-programming. NVIDIA Omniverse connects computer-aided design (CAD) software, APIs, and frameworks for generative AI running on Microsoft's Azure cloud using real-time factory data and 5G networking, enabling collaboration among multiple users around the world. “Everything is ray-traced. We…

…One standing-room-only panel discussion looked at how AI and ChatGPT will affect robotics, from making coding easier and faster to improving human-machine interfaces. However, venture capital firms and software providers both told me that much of the current hype around AI doesn't reflect how it will eventually help robots be smarter and more useful. “Industrial computing is the secret sauce,” said Jason Waldman, business development manager at industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) provider Advantech. “Customers need support for things like edge AI and our Valor workstation, not just for 18 months, but for up to seven years.” “ChatGPT marks an…

…assess current robotics trends. From venture capital constraints to ChatGPT, Dr. Bernard Casse, founder and CEO of RIOS Intelligent Machines Inc., has experience and first-hand observations from recent events. RIOS said it is leading the charge in re-industrializing America and transforming aging industries into the smart factories of the future powered by robotics and artificial intelligence. The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company both exhibited and presented at ProMat 2023. Dr. Casse shared with Robotics 24/7 a compelling vision of a future where robotics and automation are the driving forces of economic progress, even amid economic limitations. He emphasized the transformative power…

ChatGPT is a popular topic of discussion, but how can such technology help manufacturers and other robotics users? Groundlight last week announced the launch of its visual understanding service based on natural language instructions. The Seattle-based artificial intelligence startup claimed that its service enables any developer to understand images programmatically using simple English-language instructions and just a few lines of code. Groundlight said its platform can be easily integrated into applications such as industrial automation, process monitoring, retail analytics, video stream analysis, and robotics. This pilot service is now available to select customers. “As the most powerful AI models get…

OpenAI’s recently announced GPT-4 version of its ChatGPT text-generating artificial intelligence program is reportedly capable of “human-level performance” on many professional tests, beating 90% of human test-takers. According to the company, GPT-4 reached the 90th percentile on a simulated bar exam, the 93rd percentile on an SAT reading exam, and the 89th percentile on the SAT Math exam. Thanks to advances such as streamlining and large data sets, it produces fewer incorrect answers and is less likely to touch on taboo topics, said OpenAI. Despite some flaws and limitations, GPT-4’s capabilities are impressive, posing concerns about what else AI and…

…center, those kinds of connections happen. With technologies like ChatGPT, it seems like AI is becoming more graspable to regular people. You are talking about bringing this multi-disciplinary approach to understanding AI. Was that intentional on your part knowing that these things are converging, or was it kind of like a happy accident? I think it is just kind of a happy accident that we were sitting in the right place at the right time for all of this to happen. Everyone who belongs to our center right now was already working on AI in various areas. All the new…
