Netflix Paid $587 Million for Ben Affleck’s AI Startup InterPositive

As artificial intelligence systems began scoring extremely high on long used academic benchmarks, researchers noticed a growing issue. The tests that once challenged machines were no longer difficult enough. Well known evaluations such as the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) exam, which had previously been seen as demanding, now fail to properly measure the capabilities…

Hey everyone, I built CalibON, a browser-based camera calibration tool intended to make intrinsic camera calibration more accessible for ROS and computer vision projects. It provides a guided workflow where you can: Configure your camera resolution and checkerboard dimensions Upload calibration images Detect and inspect checkerboard corners Review frame quality, image coverage, and rejected images…

The future of surgery just scrubbed in. In a groundbreaking medical first, robots designed to move and function like humans have performed surgery on a live patient, successfully completing two laparoscopic gallbladder removals. The breakthrough offers a peek at a future where these advanced machines could help bridge gaps in healthcare — easing surgeon shortages,…

Chinese start-up #Unitree Robotics opened its Asia’s first embodied intelligence experience store in Jing’an district in downtown Shanghai on Sunday. Spanning over 100 sqms, the store features and sells a range of end-user products, including the G1/R1 humanoid robot and Go2 robotic dog. China’s artificial intelligence (AI)-related products have seen strong momentum in imports and…

There is an unusual buzz around robotics. At trade shows Machine Design visited this year, the push to bring artificial intelligence into the physical world was unmistakable, with robotics emerging as one of its clearest expressions. The momentum extends well beyond the exhibition halls. Robots are already deeply embedded in global manufacturing. The International Federation…
