Robotics Accelerator Program to Aid Universities Launches

AI-driven service robot maker Richtech Robotics has launched an accelerator program to provide U.S. universities with development frameworks and access to the Richtech robotic systems to aid robotics research.

The program would grant participating universities access to the Richtech autonomous mobile robots and robotic arm platforms powered by Nvidia technology. The technology includes machine vision and voice interaction modules.

The AI robotics technology includes the service robots Adam and Scorpion, which were featured at CES in January.

Delphi experiment tries to equip an AI agent with moral judgment

Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including LLM-based conversational agents such as ChatGPT, have become increasingly widespread. These tools are now used by countless individuals worldwide for both professional and personal purposes.

Some users are now also asking AI agents to answer everyday questions, some of which could have ethical and moral nuances. Providing these agents with the ability to discern between what is generally considered ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, so that they can be programmed to only provide ethical and morally sound responses, is thus of the utmost importance.

Researchers at the University of Washington, the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and other institutes in the United States recently carried out an experiment exploring the possibility of equipping AI agents with a machine equivalent of human moral judgment.

Meta Announces LlamaCon, Its First Generative AI Dev Conference

In today’s AI news, Meta on Tuesday announced that it’ll host its first-ever dev conference dedicated to generative AI. Called LlamaCon after Meta’s Llama family of generative AI models, the conference is scheduled to take place on April 29. Meta said that it plans to share the latest on its open source AI developments to help developers build amazing apps and products.

In other advancements, after her sudden departure from OpenAI last fall, ex-CTO Mira Murati vanished from public view to start something new. Now, she is ready to share some details about what she’s working on. Her new AI startup is called Thinking Machines Lab, and while the specifics of what it plans to release are still under wraps, the company says its goal is “to make AI systems more widely understood, customizable and generally capable.”

Meanwhile, In a new paper, OpenAI researchers detail how they developed an LLM benchmark called SWE-Lancer to test how much foundation models can earn from real-life freelance software engineering tasks. The test found that, while the models can solve bugs, they can’t see why the bug exists and continue to make more mistakes.

And, Humane is selling most of its company to HP for $116 million and will stop selling AI Pin, the company announced today. AI Pins that have already been purchased will continue to function normally until 3PM ET on February 28th, Humane says in a support document. After that date, Pins will “no longer connect to Humane’s servers.”

Then, in this episode of Top of Mind, Gartner Global Chief of Research Chris Howard breaks down the buzz around agentic AI. Learn how AI agents can make autonomous decisions, optimize solutions and even collaborate in multi-agent systems to transform the future of business now.

And, inbound conversational AI phone calls can now easily be personalized using Twilio and ElevenLabs Conversational AI. Provide dynamic variables based on the inbound caller id, and override the prompt, language, first message to fully customize your voice AI agents.

In other videos, Tim is diving into SkyReels, a powerful new AI video model that’s free, open-source, and comes with its own robust platform. In this deep dive, he’ll walk through SkyReels’ unique features—from its human-centric training data to its text-to-video and image-to-video workflows.

An uncensored version of R1 is released 🔥

“R1 1776 is a DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model that has been post-trained by @perplexity_ai to remove Chinese Communist Party censorship. The model provides unbiased, accurate, and factual information while maintaining high reasoning capabilities.”

“To ensure our model remains fully ‘uncensored’ and capable of engaging with a broad spectrum of sensitive topics, we curated a diverse, multilingual evaluation set of over a 1,000 of examples that comprehensively cover such subjects. We then use human annotators as well as carefully designed LLM judges to measure the likelihood a model will evade or provide overly sanitized responses to the queries.”

Unlocking the secrets of fusion’s core with AI-enhanced simulations

Creating and sustaining fusion reactions—essentially recreating star-like conditions on Earth—is extremely difficult, and Nathan Howard, Ph.D., a principal research scientist at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), thinks it’s one of the most fascinating scientific challenges of our time.

“Both the science and the overall promise of fusion as a clean energy source are really interesting. That motivated me to come to grad school [at MIT] and work at the PSFC,” he says.

Howard is member of the Magnetic Fusion Experiments Integrated Modeling (MFE-IM) group at the PSFC. Along with MFE-IM group leader Pablo Rodriguez-Fernandez, Howard and the team use simulations and machine learning to predict how plasma will behave in a fusion device. MFE-IM and Howard’s research aims to forecast a given technology or configuration’s performance before it’s piloted in an actual fusion environment, allowing for smarter design choices. To ensure their accuracy, these models are continuously validated using data from previous experiments, keeping their simulations grounded in reality.
