U.S. Top Expert Rodney Brooks: Artificial Intelligence Will Not Oppose Humanity for Hundred Years

Today, in many fields, the application of artificial intelligence has undoubtedly become the darling of more and more industry giants competing to chase. In this issue of "BOSS," we were fortunate to have exclusive interviews with well-known robotics experts, academicians of the US National Academy of Engineering, and Rodney Brooks, founder of Rethink Robotics, during the 2016 Robot World Congress. As an undisputed figure in the world of robotics, Rodney Brooks designed the first Mars robot in the 1990s and once created Baxter, the first collaborative robot. Baxter went on the cover of the American Times weekly in 2012. , was named the best invention in the world. In the eyes of a robotic expert who has the dual status of a scientist and an entrepreneur, what kind of competitive landscape will be presented in the future development of artificial intelligence? Will AI and human opposition enter the real human world?

Question one: What is the difference between intelligent collaborative robots and traditional industrial robots?

Private One: Intelligent Cooperative Robots Manually Teach Without Programming

Rodney Brooks, founder of Rethink Robotics

Our robots are different from traditional industrial robots in that humans can interact with them safely. The distance can be approached so close (gestures) and it is still absolutely safe. At the same time, the workers do not need to write programs but demonstrate their tasks for the robot. The robot uses its built-in artificial intelligence to understand the task while receiving its sensor (visual, stress) measurement results to adapt to the changing environment.

Question two: In which areas will artificial intelligence develop in the future?

Private II: The future market for assisted driving and assisting robots is huge

I think what most people will see today is assisted driving and self-driving vehicles. Self-driving vehicles may take some time, but a large number of assisted driving functions will enter our cars in the next three to five years. On the scale of a decade, we will see more robotic assistants who help older people live independently at home, such as helping the elderly to get up and use the bathroom. This should be the second round of intelligent robots that touched the public.

Question 3: What kind of situation will the artificial intelligence competition present?

Private three: companies are fighting for the best artificial intelligence engineer

We will see a lot of progress in China. For example, Microsoft has invested heavily in artificial intelligence for many years. Baidu is also becoming a leader in artificial intelligence. At the same time other companies are also entering this field. Toyota established its own artificial intelligence research institution in the United States. Of course, Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. have also devoted many years of efforts in this area. Almost every major company must find its place in the field of artificial intelligence. They are all fighting for the best talent. For artificial intelligence engineers, the current professional market situation is very good.

Variable Frequency AC Power Supplies

The VFP series AC Power Supplies are high precision, high efficiency, low THD adjustable AC power supplies that converts the input mains power through AC→DC→AC conversion, and gives a pure sine wave AC output with adjustable voltage & frequency within a certain range. Also known as Variable Frequency AC Power Source.

Different from Variac, variable frequency speed controllers and ordinary AC voltage regulators, VFP AC power supplies have adjustable output voltage and output frequency, and ensure a stable output voltage and frequency within its full-scale adjustment range with pure sine wave output waveform, which is an ideal AC power supply for testing.

According to the difference in the number of output phases, it can be divided into single-phase and three-phase AC power supplies.
The output power of single-phase adjustable AC power supply ranges from 500VA to 200KVA, the output power of three-phase adjustable AC power supply ranges from 3KVA to 600KVA, the output voltage is divided into 0 ~ 150Vac, 150 ~ 300Vac, and the output frequency is adjustable from 45Hz to 70Hz with 50/60Hz fixed frequency output.

Through the friendly operation panel, you can read the output data such as output voltage, output current, output power, power factor, etc., providing accurate data records for your test, and can add RS485 interfaces as standard, following the MODBUS-RTU international communication protocol, which can realize remote control and operating status monitoring of the power supplies.

This series of adjustable AC Power Supplies have comprehensive protection functions, such as: over voltage, over current, over temperature and short circuit protections, which can protect the AC power supplies and DUT from damages. At present, it is mainly used for Various electrical appliance manufacturers conduct grid simulation tests on electrical appliances according to the voltage/frequency requirements of different countries. Imported electrical appliances are used for the domestic demand for variable voltage and frequency conversion, as well as various AC motors and AC transformers.
