Boston Dynamics teams up with Toyota to create better bipedal robots
|
Roboticists are looking to build smarter bots for industrial settings |
Boston Dynamics is partnering with Toyota Research Institute (TRI) to develop general-purpose, AI-powered humanoid robots, Digital Trends reported. Boston Dynamics will contribute its new and highly impressive electric Atlas robot to the task, while TRI will utilize its industry-leading Large Behavior Models (LBMs). LBMs are to robotics as LLMs are to chatbots, with the former trained on a huge range of human behaviors that enable robots to move and act in a humanlike manner. “Recent advances in AI and machine learning hold tremendous potential for advancing physical intelligence,” said Gill Pratt, chief scientist for Toyota and CEO of TRI ... |

That’s not necessarily because they can’t be trusted. It’s more that you never know how someone else will handle your sensitive information. If they stow it somewhere easily accessible, it weakens your security and makes your accounts more vulnerable. The answer is a digital credential management tool like Dashlane. It is great way to administrate password sharing that doesn’t compromise security ... |

Software update offers better experience with smart home cameras

Weekend box office: Terrifier 3 likely to be toppled by another horror movie
|
Folks sure love to be scared witless this time of year |
Low-budget slasher Terrifier 3 won the North American box office on its debut last weekend, but the arrival of another horror movie, Smile 2, means its time at the top is likely to be short-lived. Paramount Pictures’ Smile 2 is forecast to earn between $15 million and $20 million. “With an 86% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Smile 2 should be one of the higher horror performers of the year when it debuts on 3,500 screens,” Box Office Pro reported. Terrifier 3 is predicted to secure second spot, taking in around $10 million, down from its impressive $18.3 million last weekend, while The Wild Robot is likely to place third in its fourth week ... |
