Google Wrote a ‘Robot Constitution’ So Its Machines Won't Kill You... Hopefully

Google has announced a "Robot Constitution" based on Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" to govern the decision-making process of its upcoming intelligent machines. The constitution is developed by Google DeepMind and aims to ensure the responsible development and real-world safety of robots before integrating them into everyday life. Along with this, DeepMind is also incorporating large language models and neural networks to improve robots' decision-making capabilities and understanding of their environment. These initiatives are part of Google's plan to introduce helper robots capable of handling complex tasks in homes and offices.

Google’s new robot AI can fold delicate origami, close zipper bags without damage

Google DeepMind has announced Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER, AI models designed to control robots more effectively and delicately. These models build upon Google's Gemini 2.0 and feature "vision-language-action" abilities, processing visual data, understanding language, and executing physical tasks. Apptronik's Apollo robot will utilize Gemini. Google's effort aims to solve the challenge of translating robot knowledge into precise actions. A "Robot Constitution" framework, inspired by Asimov's robot laws, accompanies a new ASIMOV dataset for safety evaluation.

Apple’s electric car loss could be home robotics’ gain

Apple's mixed reality headset and its electric vehicle ambitions demonstrate the company's determination to continue trying new projects. Now, reports suggest that Apple may be exploring the development of home robots, an area that has proven to be uniquely difficult. While the robot vacuum has been the only successful home robot so far, companies like Matic and iRobot are attempting to expand functionality beyond just vacuuming. However, the challenges lie in form factor, mobile manipulation, and navigation within unstructured home environments. Apple's involvement in driving technologies and its previous experience with robot arms could potentially contribute to its foray into home robots.

Can robots commit 'suicide’, and do they have rights?

A robot supervisor employed by the Gumi City Council in South Korea recently collapsed and “died" after falling down a flight of stairs. This incident has attracted attention due to South Korea's high robot density. While the exact cause of the incident is under investigation, there are discussions about the concept of giving robots rights and considering them as legal persons. This debate is driven by the emotional connection people feel towards robots and the increasing intelligence of AI-powered machines.

Man vs. machine: DeepMind’s new robot serves up a table tennis triumph

Google DeepMind has developed an AI-powered robotic table tennis player that can compete at an amateur human level. The system combines the ABB IRB 1100 industrial robot arm with custom AI software. While a human expert can defeat the bot, it demonstrates the potential for machines to master physical tasks that require split-second decision-making. The AI agent showed solid amateur-level play, winning 45% of its matches against varying skill levels. The system's architecture combines low-level skill controllers with a high-level decision-maker to adapt to opponents. The researchers believe the techniques developed can be applied to various tasks requiring quick reactions and adaptation to unpredictable human behavior.
