As the saying goes, \u201cIf you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself,\u201d and it seems that you\u2019ll soon be able to get a lot more done using artificially intelligent, high-tech exoskeleton Kindred<\/a>. It\u2019s the product of a startup created by quantum computing company D-Wave<\/a>\u2019s founder Geordie Rose, and according to the venture capital firm funding Kindred<\/a>, the device \u201cuses AI-driven robotics so that one human worker can do the work of four.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on a patent application<\/a>, the wearable system is envisioned as a 1.2-meter tall humanoid that may be covered with synthetic skin. It will include a head-mounted display and an exo-suit of sensors and actuators that carries out everyday tasks.<\/p>\n

Essentially, it looks something like Spider-Man\u2019s Doctor Octopus<\/a> on the outside, but on the inside, Kindred utilizes quantum computation<\/a>, a way of information processing and storage that is much faster and more powerful than that used by conventional computers. Data \u201clearned\u201d by the suit can be taught to other robots, allowing those robots to then perform the tasks autonomously.<\/p>\n
