Barry’s prowess is evident in tests, boasting a maximum payload-to-weight ratio of 2 on flat terrain.

Aiming to solve the challenge of legged robots still being “weak, slow, inefficient, or fragile to take over tasks that involve heavy payloads,” a team of researchers from the Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich has developed a promising proposition.

Meet Barry, a dynamically balancing quadruped robot optimized for high payload capabilities and efficiency, which promises to help humans tackle challenging manual work scenarios. The quadruple’s new leg design ensures that it can “handle unmodeled payloads up to 198 pounds (90 kilograms) while operating at high efficiency,” according to a study by the team.

AI is making it easy for anyone to create propaganda outlets, producing content that can be hard to differentiate from real news.

Artificial intelligence is automating the creation of fake news, spurring an explosion of web content mimicking factual articles that instead disseminate false information about elections, wars and natural disasters.

This past week, Axel Springer, the German media conglomerate that owns Politico and Business Insider, signed a “multiyear licensing deal” with OpenAI worth tens of millions of Euros.

The big deal OpenAI just inked with Axel Springer offers a glimpse of how AI and the media might eventually intersect.

ICYMI: DeepSouth uses a #neuromorphiccomputing system which mimics biological processes, using hardware to efficiently emulate large networks of spiking #neurons at 228 trillion #Synaptic operations per second — rivalling the estimated rate of operations in the human brain.

Australian researchers are putting together a supercomputer designed to emulate the world’s most efficient learning machine – a neuromorphic monster capable of the same estimated 228 trillion synaptic operations per second that human brains handle.

As the age of AI dawns upon us, it’s clear that this wild technological leap is one of the most significant in the planet’s history, and will very soon be deeply embedded in every part of our lives. But it all relies on absolutely gargantuan amounts of computing power. Indeed, on current trends, the AI servers NVIDIA sells alone will likely be consuming more energy annually than many small countries. In a world desperately trying to decarbonize, that kind of energy load is a massive drag.

But as often happens, nature has already solved this problem. Our own necktop computers are still the state of the art, capable of learning super quickly from small amounts of messy, noisy data, or processing the equivalent of a billion billion mathematical operations every second – while consuming a paltry 20 watts of energy.

If you think Tesla’s next generation bot, TeslaBot, looks good for no reason, then think again! Dr. Scott Walter and I go into the reasons that the way the new Optimus robot looks matter so much to the way it functions—and it’s pretty cool! Plus, Scott rants about the fraudulent copyright claims Univision laid on all TeslaBot videos!
