Autonomous boats will arrive in Europe in 2017 The waters of the canals of Amsterdam will receive the first robots ships    If the autonomous cars begin to accumulate kilometers by the highways of the United States, to the other side of the Atlantic Amsterdam prepares to receive the first boats without captain. "Imagine a fleet of autonomous boats for the transport of goods and people," Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Carlo Ratti said in a statement from this research center. The Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions is working on a project that will culminate in 2017 with the first trips through the capital's canals with robot ships.   The scientific director of the Dutch center, Arjan van Timmeren, said that these boats "offer enormous possibilities" and could have application in environmental and health issues, such as detecting diseases in advance once progress is made in relation to underwater robots. The project wil...

Artificial intelligence takes over the drones

Artificial intelligence takes over the drones An MIT mapping system allows unmanned aircraft to dodge obstacles at low speed     Can a drone only dodge an obstacle? The answer is yes. The Laboratory of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has managed to provide artificial intelligence to a small aircraft to fly through forests and warehouses. Nanomap, the new alternative navigation system allows you to fly over and avoid obstacles, as long as the speed of the device does not exceed 30 kilometers per hour.    Excessively safe maps will not help if you want drones that can operate at higher speeds in human environments," says graduate student Pete Florence, lead author of a new related document. "An approach that is more aware of uncertainty gives us a much higher level of reliability in terms of being able to fly close and avoid obstacles ." Shocks Many existing approaches are based on complex ...
