Cybersecurity professor and ethicist Ed Zuger discusses teaching technology ahead of the curve, and whether an Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights might lay the groundwork for responsible innovation.

At my institution we take great pride in remaining innovative and staying apace with technologies lessons. The past couple years have been rife with meetings, research, and developments about new

The first digital and programmable robot was called Unimate and was sold for a $35,000 loss to General Motors the same year its patent was approved. The...

A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Hondas Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and TOSYs TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, collectively programmed swarm robots, and even microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may conve...

Since the invention of the first robot in 1954, collaborative robots and other varieties of robotics have become a common feature in manufacturing, as

So far my life has been rather extraordinary in that through great underserved luck 1 I have been present at, or nearby to, many of the defining technological advances in computer science, Artificial Intelligence, and robotics, that now in 2021 are starting to dominate our world. I knew and rubbed shoulders 2 with many of the greats, those who founded AI, robotics, and computer science, and the world wide web. My big regret nowadays is that often I have questions for those who have passed on, ...

Worlds first industrial robot comes online at GM plant in Ewing Township Granted, it’s a far cry from C-3PO and R2-D2, those endearing droids of “Star Wars,” but Unimate, the world’s first industrial robot, came online in 1961 at General Motors’ Inland Fisher Guide Plant in the West Trenton section of Ewing Township. Unimate was a programmable hydraulic arm that offloaded dangerous, difficult tasks from human employees. The 4,000-pound unit transferred door handles and other component...

Key Technologies Defining Robotics – From Static Arms to AMRs What will the series cover? In this series of six blogs, we take a look at the key technologies defining the way robots are being designed and used today, and how that may evolve in the future. It will cover developments at the hardware and software level, and how innovations such as AI are already shaping the future of robotics.
