We are announcing the release of our state-of-the-art off-policy model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, soft actor-critic (SAC). This algorithm has been developed jointly at UC Berkeley and Google, and we have been using it internally for our robotics experiment.
Researchers built the first visual SLAM processor on a single chip that provides highly accurate, low-power, and real-time results.

Advancements in pressurized fluid power systems may hold the key to the next generation of Biomimetic Robots.
Daniel Lofaro talks about how he works hard to make things easier and how co-robotics are the way forward, and how bringing cost down cost and better AI is critical for this.
Like its predecessor, JackRabbot 2 is learning how to navigate safely through spaces occupied by people, following the rules of human etiquette. What it learns could help it move comfortably among us in the future.

Over the last decade or so, the world of AI has been obsessed with the problem of pattern recognition — Ask any budding engineer “Give me an algorithm to find X in an environment Y”, and expect to hear the words, “Give me T examples in environment Y, and I will predict X with so much accuracy”.
