Sophia Humanoid robot

 SOPHIA


 Sophia is a social humanoid robot developed by the Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, and made its first public appearance in mid-March 2016 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, United States.

Compared to previous robots, Sophia is very advanced and can mimic human gestures as well as hold a simple conversation. David Hanson, together with brilliant AI and robotics experts, has designed Sophia to work with the elderly in nursing homes, with children, with customer service, or to help crowds at large events.

The 4 types of AI

  The 4 Types of AI     Artificial intelligence can be categorized into one of four types. Reactive AI  uses algorithms to optimize outputs based on a set of inputs. Chess-playing AIs, for example, are reactive systems that optimize the best strategy to win the game. Reactive AI tends to be fairly static, unable to learn or adapt to novel situations. Thus, it will produce the same output given identical inputs. Limited memory AI  can adapt to past experience or update itself based on new observations or data. Often, the amount of updating is limited (hence the name), and the length of memory is relatively short. Autonomous vehicles, for example, can "read the road" and adapt to novel situations, even "learning" from past experience. Theory-of-mind AI  are fully-adaptive and have an extensive ability to learn and retain past experiences. These types of AI include advanced chat-bots that could pass the  Turing Test , fooling a person into believing the A...
