In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a research group in Vienna developed robots that perceive unfamiliar objects in their environment and then compare them with images from the Internet in order to identify them. Continue reading “Machines learn to be curious”
In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a research group from Graz is investigating the behaviour of young honeybees immediately after hatching and successfully transfers this to robots. The bees’ brood-care strategies turn out to be surprisingly efficient. Continue reading “Robotics modelled on bees”
In the future, a new generation of autonomous robots is set to complete tasks autonomously, even if something unforeseeable happens. With the support of the Austrian Science Fund FWF, IT experts in Graz are working to advance the development of artificial intelligence and equip robots with common sense. Continue reading “Artificial intelligence plus common sense”
Countless initiatives aim at getting children and young people interested in technology – an important factor in a tech-driven society. Crazy Robots, a project supported by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, demonstrates how it can be done. Continue reading “Cool technology, crazy robots”
