artificial intelligence is quickly
shaping the way
technology interacts with us and how we
interact with the world at large
from machine learning to advanced robots
the world of ai
is evolving faster than ever so join us
for today's video as we explore the top
15 most advanced ai systems
number 15 toyota thr-3
the toyota thr-3 humanoid robot is the
third generation of toyota's humanoid
robot program
and is a robotic jack of all trades it
can be programmed to act in several ways
including cleaning construction care
giving or simple companionship
so whether you have too much to do
around the house or just need a friend
thr-3 has got you covered it can even
learn to do new things so it will never
go out of style
but what makes this humanoid robot so
special is that it's a hybrid autonomous
and remote model
it can either operate on its own or be
controlled by a nearby human
but they won't be using a boring old
computer instead the toyota thr-3 can
sync up with another human wearing a
motion capture suit
and imitate their every movement and
while it may seem strange the robot is
stronger than most people
meaning it can make up for human flaws
where we need it the most
number 14 digit a simple name for a
sophisticated machine
digit is the latest project from agility
robotics
while it has a humanoid shape digit
lacks a head
giving it a more frightening look but
its ai system more than makes up for it
its ai and machine learning technology
allows it to walk upright
climb up and down stairs walk over
different types of terrains
navigate obstacles and even balance on
one leg
should the strange need arise in january
of 2020
ford purchased a number of digit models
to put them to work in their factories
because of its ability to lift carry and
stack up to 40 pounds
and when digit's work day is over it can
fold itself up for easy storage
pretty amazing but the team at ford is
even bigger plans for digit
it's been reported that within the near
future ford will employ digit to ride in
a driverless car to pick up and deliver
packages to customers
in the meantime the company is still
feeling out how humans react to the ai
number 13 serena 4 debuting
in 2019 and created by a team of
researchers engineers and professors in
iran
the serena 4 looks like it's from a
science fiction movie
and perhaps that's where the idea
originated taking nine years to create
this fourth generation humanoid robot is
about the same size as an adult human
and can perform most of the same basic
tasks serena 4 can reach a maximum
walking speed of just under one
kilometer per hour
has 43 degrees of movement freedom and
can perform dexterous tasks like picking
up different shaped objects
but what is perhaps most impressive is
its speech and facial recognition
object detection position measurement
and counting capabilities
so the serena 4 will probably have a
better time remembering faces than the
rest of us do
it also uses a voice user interface
meaning we're moving even closer to
having vocal conversations with advanced
ai
and while it may work in a factory or
supply plant one day
for now the main purpose of the serena 4
is to encourage students to pursue
careers in research in ai and robotics
number 12 kime created by spanish-based
maco robotics kime is shaking things up
literally
as the world's first humanoid robotic
bartender and while kime won't listen to
all of your life's drunken woes
with its amazing ai it can pour a beer
in 23 seconds with great precision
it was tested by serving drinks at a
local brewery and much to the patron
surprise
it was able to pour 300 glasses in an
hour that's not bad considering the
bartender will never tire out or have a
salty attitude
currently kime is used at festivals and
events it won't make you a fancy
cocktail just yet
but it does have machine learning so
hopefully one day it will make a mean
manhattan
mako robotics future plans involve
creating a humanoid robotic chef that
can be left alone to assist human chefs
he may may end up being the one kitchen
staff member that can take the heat
[Music]
number 11 robot thespian have you ever
thought that an actor gave a robotic
performance
while this one will hopefully do a
little better
created in 2004 by uk based engineered
arts
robo-thespian is a third generation ai
actor
this humanoid robot can come loaded with
a library of songs gestures greetings
and impressions to get the part
it's interactive and multilingual so it
can work with actors all around the
globe
they can even interact with other
robo-thespians to put on a fully
automated robotic theater
it's slowly starting to catch up with
movie magic technologies as it comes
with complete movement tracking
animation software lighting sound and
external device control
and you won't need a new fancy computer
to control it because the robot thespian
has touch screen controls
for now the humanoid can only move using
a hidden system of tracks and dollies
but the engineered arts team is working
hard on giving it autonomous walking
ability
number 10 pepper if you live in
or have ever visited japan you may be
familiar with this next entry on our
list
pepper pepper is a humanoid robotic
design from softbank robotics with
emotion reading ai she can work as a
receptionist
in retail and even as a nanny it's also
not uncommon to be greeted by her at a
restaurant
pepper's got your back she has an
educational integrated development
environment or ide for short
called tethys created to help teach
students how to code
who better to teach coding than a robot
students can use her software to program
how she moves
walks talks and show messages on her
screen in real time
and as helpful as pepper is softbank is
hoping that she will inspire future
generations of engineers
roboticists and ai developers
number nine ibo having a dog is a lot of
work
they need to be fed walked played with
and they shed everywhere
plus they're expensive that's why sony
launched
ibo the robotic dog in 2018.
ibo is designed to meet somewhere in the
middle of being a pet
and a toy but the companionship is all
the same
ibo is augmented with ai that makes it
act like a real dog
so much so that it can recognize its
owner's voice and even adapt its
behavior to different owner
personalities
if you're calm ibo is calm if you're fun
ibo is fun
but the ibo ai algorithms are
cloud-based so the experience of one
eyeball is shared by all
think of it as a robotic canine hive
mind
an ibo in california can learn from an
ibo in england
they can also recognize and respond to
over a hundred different faces
and that number has plenty of room to
grow and while the eyeball goes for
about three thousand bucks it can cost
around the same as buying a new puppy
but without all the house training that
goes with it will eyeball replace dogs
not likely but it can prove to be a
better option for many people who want
the dog
without all the fuss we are constantly
adding more people to the top fives

number eight asimo not to be confused
with awesome o
asimo is a humanoid robot from honda
that began development back in 2000
because of its unique ai asimo is one of
the world's most advanced humanoid
robots
asimo like us is bipedal and can walk on
its own
but it's not easily staggered its ai
helps it to understand how to maintain
its balance
keeping it upright when it meets a bump
in the road and can quickly adapt to
different situations and hazards on the
fly
honda's asimo was revealed as one of the
world's first two-legged walk-in robots
and has evolved considerably over the
last two decades
and while it doesn't serve a commercial
purpose like some of the other entries
on our list
it's still incredibly impressive and can
move better than many clumsy humans can
its ai also allows it to interact with
humans walk up and down staircases and
recognize a pretty large array of
external objects
it's a robot that will likely never stop
learning
[Music]
number seven samsung bot retail
the samsung bot retail may not resemble
a human
but it can certainly understand the
wants and needs of one
created for professional and commercial
use bot retail can be found around
shopping malls
restaurants and stores and is customized
to fit the needs of each environment
ever walk into the store and notice all
of the floor staff are busy with
customers
well then ask bot retail it's ai allows
it to navigate through the busy crowds
and direct customers to the items
they're looking for
and will even make suggestions if you're
not sure what you want
the bot retail comes with shelves to
hold your items for you uses near field
communication to take payments on the
fly
it can even analyze human language and
facial expressions to work out how to
best make itself useful
it may just be the employee of the month
every month
number six aquanaut when you're dealing
with expensive robotics
it's important not to let them get wet
right
well not if you have an aqua knot the
aquanaut is as close to it gets as a
real-life transformer and operates in
sub-sea territories
created by houston mechatronics the
aquanaut is an autonomous underwater
vehicle that can reconfigure itself from
a submersible vehicle
into a humanoid robot and withstand the
deep water pressures that humans cannot
inspired by submarine drones and remote
controlled maintenance vehicles
the aquanaut offers the best of both
worlds it uses its incredible ai
known as asimov to act on its own
examining breaks on all sorts of
undersea structures from pipelines to
oil rigs
fixing them autonomously the aquanaut
operates perfectly in environments that
would otherwise be hazardous to humans
number five cb2 traveling back to japan
for one of the stranger entries on our
list
is the cb2 from osaka university
released back in 2006
cb2 is essentially a robot baby created
to help students study the neurological
development of human babies
in an ethical way its ai lets it
recognize human faces
understand emotions and give physical
reactions
it even has tactile sensors under its
grey rubber skin
that allow the cb2 to respond to being
held stroked and cuddled
because the cb2 represents a human
two-year-old it can stand up but only
with the help of another human
it can sit in a chair on its own though
mimic breathing as its chest rises and
falls
and its beady eyes will even follow you
across the room
its ai allows for machine learning so
much like a two-year-old
it can watch students and researchers
and learn how to become more human
number four spot while it's no eyeball
boston dynamics spot is a game changer
in the world of ai
robotics and machine learning and with a
far more serious price tag of about
seventy thousand dollars a spot
is no house pet it walks around on four
legs and can navigate all types of
terrain both indoor and outdoor
and walk up and down stairs it can be
put to so many different uses in fact
that boston dynamic vets each and every
buyer to make sure that spot will be put
to beneficial use
since its release in 2016 spot has used
its ai for simple tasks such as
gathering images on construction sites
to the more complex
like conducting underground exploration
for nasa
but to make things even more fun spot
can carry up to 14 kilograms on its back
has crash detection dynamic reactions
and can pick itself back up perfectly
on the off chance that it falls the list
goes on
it even comes with two payload ports
which can support its mechanical arm
that can do anything from bringing you a
tool
to opening doors as long as spot doesn't
become smarter than us
we should be fine number three
anki cosmo perhaps the most accessible
and most fun entry on today's list is
the cosmo from san francisco-based enkei
cosmo comes with an ai that its creators
have named the emotion engine
it reacts to situations just as a human
would using the full range of emotions
from sadness to rage
and expresses them through its adorable
little face cosmo comes with a blue
squared shaped eyes that can react along
with its small
arms to show you exactly how it feels
play a game with cosmo and it will smile
with elation
but beat cosmo and it will make an angry
face and pound its little robot fists on
the table
anki is constantly updating cosmos
programming to make it feel more nuanced
and alive
and even enlisted the help of former
pixar animator carlos baina to help it
make it feel more animated
and if you're not paying enough
attention to cosmo it's got plenty of
audible emotive sounds to let you know
exactly how it feels
number two romeo this is one humanoid
robot that will become part of the
family
romeo is designed by francis aldebaran
robotics and stands about a meter and a
half tall
its main purpose is to assist people who
have lost their physical autonomy
such as the elderly and handicapped
romeo was just the right size to open
doors
climb stairs and reach objects on the
table for the human it's helping
eventually the developers are hoping
he'll be able to carry people in the
event they've fallen down
or simply need help standing from their
chair because romeo's functions are so
important
its movements almost enter the uncanny
valley and mimic that of a humans almost
perfectly
number one sophia the most uncanny
humanoid robot with an incredible ai
system
has got to be the hanson robotics sophia
built in hong kong and debuting at the
south by southwest festival in 2016
sophia looks more human than a.i sophia
is a social robot who uses her ai to
recognize human faces
hold a conversation and even form
relationships
famously she made a late night
television appearance told jokes to the
audience and acknowledged that they were
laughing
and while she's coming up with jokes and
ice breakers with machine learning
rather than off the top of her head she
knows exactly when and how to say them
and her human-like facial expressions
reflect each situation she finds herself
in
but sophia can understand and answer
very basic questions
like what are you looking at and is the
door open or closed
and while she may not yet understand
everything she's saying
she can use her dialogue system to
correctly piece together what to say
which is better than most humans can do
sophia has become so popular and
groundbreaking that she became a legal
citizen of saudi arabia just a year
after her release
we're sure they're happy to have her
