Moravec‘s Paradox

Researchers at Northeastern have built a device that can recognize “millions of colors” using new artificial intelligence techniques. “In the world of automation, shapes and colors are the most commonly used items by which a machine can recognize objects,” Kar says. The breakthrough is twofold. Researchers were able to engineer…

The robot mop and vacuum market is a competitive one, filled with what seems to be the same old products over and over again. Here to change that, the Narwal Freo is an intelligent robot vacuum and mop combo that’s packed to the pads with features. Narwal is a relatively…
