How robotics can be used to better understand the ‘sense of self’ in humans

In a review paper published recently in Science Robotics a cognitive roboticist, cognitive psychologist and a psychiatrist discuss the concept of "sense of self" in humans, and they explore how robots can be used to better understand the phenomenon.

New tool calculates intrinsic dynamics for effortless robot movements

Four-legged animals that start walking and gradually pick up speed will automatically fall into a trot at some point. This is because it would take more energy not to change gait. This correlation was discovered more than 40 years ago. Now, Alin Albu-Schäffer, a professor at the Chair of Sensor-based Robotic Systems and Intelligent Assistance Systems at TUM, has successfully transferred this method to the movement of robots.

A nervous system-inspired framework to deploy self-organizing robot swarms

The deployment of robot teams could allow humans to complete various real-world tasks faster and more efficiently. For instance, multiple co-operating robots could help to quickly find and rescue survivors of natural disasters or monitor pollution across large geographical areas.

Diligent Robotics Announces Q4 Milestone with Over 100,000 Autonomous Elevator Rides Across U.S. Health Systems

Moxi has a humanoid form factor, with an arm for manipulating the environment, opening doors, and pushing buttons to operate elevators. Moxi is the only robot to accomplish this feat in a generalized way that is working 24/7 in hospitals across the US.
