This newsletter is for thinking people who has any interest in Artificial Intelligence Welcome! From Italy to China on autopilot     Alberto Broggi and his team have spent 15 years developing a true supercar: a vehicle that runs autonomously -- in any conditions. Is the future of driving really driverless?   Read full story Scientists Develop Robots with Literacy Skills A team of roboticists, headed by Dr Ingmar Posner of Oxford University and Peter Corke of Queensland University of Technology, are working on releasing a new range of literate robots with artificial intelligence. They had stated that these robots, named Marge, will be highly beneficial in the upcoming years and would be rather easy to develop because already computers convert scanned books into text.   Read full story Goodzer Includes Small Retailers in Local Real-Time Product Search What if you could search your mobile device to find out which store within a 10-mile radius has the widget in-stock that you need to buy right now? Creating such an app is the holy grail of mcommerce, and a new player arrived on the scene last week that uses artificial intelligence to make it easier for brick-and-mortar retailers and shoppers to connect.

Read full story NASA Launches Nanosatellite to Study Life in Space   A “nanosatellite” called Organism/Organic Exposure to Orbital Stresses (O/OREOS), developed by NASA, will be conducting two experiments. Read full story No command, and control   Handing battlefield decisions to the collective intelligence of robot soldiers sounds risky, but it is the essence of a research project called ALADDIN.   Read full story Will computers be indistinguishable from humans?

Specifically designed to autonomously serve as the eyes and brain for critical security environments, AISight is able to attach to existing video surveillance infrastructure and watch, learn, and identify unusual behavioral patterns 24/7 in real time. This advanced video surveillance technology has been deployed globally across critical infrastructure facilities, intelligence agency applications, urban areas, seaports, financial institutions and others.   Read full story To subscribe  or  unsubscribe to this newsletter Contact Us.
