Robot assistants are being developed and tested in field studies to help elderly people in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, thanks to the Technical University of Munich who have opened a research centre for geriatronics.
Robots were the talk of the town at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show Asia, which is currently taking place in Shanghai. Although some of the robots were nothing more than little entertainment gadgets, it's becoming clear that robots will form an integral part of our future. A range of personal robots, including remote controlled bots with sensors and video cameras and personal assistant robots crawled and wheeled their way into people's hearts, but businesses are also preparing to get into the new trend with slew of robotic workers.
This is Kuri, a cute little robot that will help you out with tasks around the house. Mayfield Robotics showed off their cute creation, complete blinking eyes and pet-like response to human touch, at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The robot is designed to make life easier for the family through a range of technological features. Kuri is loaded with all sorts of innovative technology, but is also designed to resemble a living being by responding to touch and searching for eye contact with its owners. It can move throughout your home on wheels while playing music, capturing images or delivering messages. The robot can also perform security check-ins with a 1080p camera installed behind its eyes, and even control home devices. Preorders started on Tuesday for $699.
At CES, the BMW Group and Amazon showcase voice assistant LLM capabilities based on a current development project that the companies are working on in preparation for a potential series rollout. This makes the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant the ultimate vehicle expert thanks to generative AI that is powered by the Alexa LLM. At CES, visitors experience how the voice assistant provides quick instructions and answers about vehicle functions in a much more human, conversation-like manner, while at the same time being able to control some vehicle functions.The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant has been using artificial intelligence for speech processing for a long time and this demo is the latest proof point of the continued innovation BMW and its partners are bringing to customers. Complex processing capabilities, which enable human-like interactions and dialogs, have not yet been integrated into BMW series vehicles. Such capabilities are now made possible by LLMs, which are AI models that are designed to process human language at a high level and generate responses accordingly. The BMW Group is also taking careful steps to build a safe and trusted experience for customers, and continues to test and iterate these LLM capabilities over time with its partners.Since the introduction of the first BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant in 2018, language interaction has been an essential part of BMW iDrive. Today, the voice assistant gives customers control over many vehicle functions so that they can keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road. Leveraging Amazon’s Alexa Custom Assistant — a solution that is based on Alexa technology and enables companies to create their own customized voice assistant — the next-generation of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant will soon become more powerful over the course of the year in vehicles with BMW Operating System 9.
