Applied use cases
Could A.I. revolutionize the future of heart health?
Scientists are finding new ways to use A.I. to tackle the biggest health concern in the world. February may be the shortest and coldest month of the year. But for many, it is a time to give special recognition to often overlooked aspects of world history (Black History Month) and recognize what may be the single greatest threat to health in the world. For many, February is also known as Heart Health Month, and 2022 will be the 58th consecutive year it is recognized.
What does the evolution of AI mean for HR?
Digital transformation has accelerated demands for a more diversified and skilled workforce. Rapid changes have highlighted the importance of a back-to-human approach of training, career development, and hiring. 97% of organizations are planning significant transformation this year but feel that inadequate workforce skills and employee burnout may hinder this goal.
The Hybrid to Give Your AI the Gift of Knowledge
Symbolic AI and machine learning/deep learning all have their own set of strengths that, when used together in a hybrid fashion, make for a powerful approach that uniquely supports a number of key enterprise applications going forward. But before we get to that, let’s take a look at what each brings to the table.

An Autonomous Task Assignment Paradigm for Autonomous Robotic In-Space Assembly
This will includes a job shop type formulation to discretize and articulate the steps needed to complete an assembly, precedence constraints to ensure tasks are completed in the required order, continuity constraints and machine validity constraints to ensure that the correct machines are used on...
The case against tomorrow's robots looking like people
Numerous psychological studies by Clifford Nass and his team at Stanford University showed that when computers are designed to be like humans, users respond and engage in socially appropriate ways. Getting beyond the human teammate idea may increase the likelihood that designers will take advantage...
Robots that play active roles in our lives don’t need to look like us
This is part of a larger project from Riken, called the Guardian Robot Project, the goal of which is “to develop an autonomous robot that can be close to people and make people feel the ‘heart.’ Once such a robot is realized, it will be accepted by people and will play an active role in every aspect...
