Why a Design Management System is a must for an Enterprise grade application
By: Shamir Dawood
Tags: User Experience Design, Design Management System, Enterprise Application, Design Systems

In the recent past, most of the enterprise grade applications that have been developed are well designed, rich in functionality, and they have used the latest back-end technologies. But the real question for any design enthusiastic would be “how many of those applications were developed using a Design System?”

Companies and design teams manage to somehow develop enterprise grade applications without considering the importance of having a Design System until they face the true horror of manageability and scalability of the application.

The “Why” and “How”

So what is a Design system?

A design system is not just a set of components; it can be considered as the “backbone of the application” which consists of;

1. Reusable components/elements

2. Defining UI patterns

3. Defining UI styles

4. Design principles and guidelines

Are companies too late to adopt to a Design System while the application is being developed? The answer is NO!

You would wander why companies that haven’t considered having a Design System as a core part of its applications build with in the organization’s. Here are few reasons why;

Lack of knowledge about Design Systems

For any organization first and foremost, before they even plan the development of an application, it’s a must to initiate incorporating a Design System that’s commonly used or else create their very own. Foreseen the impact of not having a design system and the problems they would have to undergo at a later stage is very much higher, hence having the right people with the right skills to build a design system with their expertise is a MUST and will turn out to be a smart move.

#7

Today I learned that I cannot be relaxed when it comes to design system education — people forget, and it’s my duty to keep on reminding them even if it’s exhausting.

Until the day comes where the design system is already second in nature to everyone, I need to be steadfast and be open to all.
What’s coming to Carbon in 2021

What’s coming to Carbon in 2021

Our last major update was back in March 2019, and we’ve spent the last couple of years helping teams migrate to the updated IBM Design Language through this release.

In 2021, we’re focusing on shipping changes to improve your experience using Carbon. Our major release in Q2 2021 will include a number of quality of life updates, from token naming tweaks to component updates, along with a focus on documentation to make it even easier to use and extend Carbon.

For those coming from the migration of Carbon v9 to v10, rest assured that any release in 2021 will not require you to redesign your product because of an update to the IBM Design Language. Instead, it will streamline how you use Carbon today and seamlessly integrate with how you build your next big feature.

What will change in Q2 2021

The Carbon Design System has been built up by a community of contributors over the past five years. As a result, some inconsistencies are starting to make the experience of using Carbon frustrating. We’re going to use the next major release to address the majority of these inconsistencies, focusing on the most problematic issues we’ve heard through feedback from you.

In particular, you can expect updates to our design tokens to clarify usage and intent alongside updates to our component APIs to create a more consistent and predictable developer experience. We also hope to streamline our development packages to make them easier to use, along with improving the performance of build times for projects that use them.

The biggest change will be the browser coverage that we’re targeting for Carbon. When we release in Q2 2021, Carbon will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11. This move will allow us to offer some of the more exciting ideas from the IBM Design Language update, including support for inline theming with CSS Custom Properties and better support for CSS Grid.

Note: If you or your team are severely impacted by this decision, please reach out to us over email (carbon@us.ibm.com), on Discord if you’re a community member, or on Slack if you’re an IBM employee.

How this impacts you today

For teams that are currently building with Carbon these updates won’t impact you or the work that you’re doing. When the next major release is shipped, you’ll be able to decide when and how to update. We’ll also provide migration guidance and tools to help you update.

What’s coming next

Our plan is to ship early versions of the Q2 2021 release to a group of teams who are interested in learning more and helping us validate this release and the migration experience. We want to make sure this experience is right before we release it to all of IBM.

If you or your team is curious about what’s coming up and wants to get involved, we would love to hear from you! You can find us on Slack if you’re an IBMer, email us at carbon@us.ibm.com, or join our Discord.

New cost-effective robot vacuum
By: Neil Martin
Tags: Robot, Vacuum, Robot Vacuum Robot, Vacuum Cleaner

Xiaomi brand TROUVER has launched a new robot vacuum.

Finder is, said TROUVER, a high-performing and cost-effective robot vacuum powered by Laser Distance Sensor (LDS) unmanned navigation. It offers a sweep and mop two-in-one, freeing users from the burden of having to clean it themselves.

Finder is capable of scanning a six meter radius with 2,080 times per second from 360 degrees. With its self-developed Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) path planning algorithm and dual-core processor, Finder boasts advanced mapping capabilities that enable it to offer customized cleaning. The LDS laser navigation achieves a full scan of the space with higher accuracy and larger range.

Its nine sensors allow it to move intelligently and with precision across even 20mm obstacles, meaning users don’t need to worry about the vacuum colliding with household objects, or getting stuck.

With its powerful 2,000Pa suction, four suction modes and V-shaped high-speed roller brush, Finder offers both sweeping and mopping, cleaning surfaces without leaving corners untouched thanks to a 270ml water tank and 570ml oversized dust box.

Its composite soft and hard fiber cloth enhances cleaning, wiping the floor effectively while locking in water and dust. Finder’s five levels of noise reduction allows it to operate discreetly, while its 90-minute battery life means that it can clean large surfaces in a single run.

“TROUVER is leveraging innovative technology to create effective vacuums that deliver users incredible value,” said Weisheng, Zhang, President of TROUVER. “Finder is the ultimate partner for housework, offering a smart and powerful cleaning experience. In doing so, it helps free up time for users, so that they can enjoy more moments with their loved ones and pets, as well as pursue their hobbies.”
China’s Rise in Robotics
By: Samm Wiggins Jr.
Tags: Robots, Economics, China, United States, Manufacturing

Alternative Labor…

All the greatest economies in history have experienced cyclical slowdowns and China is no exception. China’s economy grew annually at a rate of 8.7 percent from 1980 to 2015. Since 2015, their economic growth rate has slowed to roughly 6–7 percent. China’s economic success has been due to their access to cheap labor and export growth. China’s export growth is the result of strategic partnerships with the United States and Japan.

Recently, China has begun to experience a decline in working age population (age 15–64). This is a direct result of their strict one-child policy laws. China’s wages have almost triple that of India, meaning, their manufacturing wages have doubled 14 times since 1980. China’s “Made in China 2025” campaign, details exactly how China intends to double down on robotics to maintain low manufacturing costs, optimization of assembly, and supplementation of labor.

Industrial Composition of Operational Robot Stock in Major Countries 2016

China currently owns 30 percent of the world’s robots in order to prioritize efficiency through innovation and technology. China’s claims they intend to triple their robotic density in manufacturing facilities, resulting in approximately, 150 robots per 10,000 workers. “Made in China 2025” prioritizes the challenges presented by the increase in labor costs and shortages. China plans to solve these challenges with aspirations of “worker-less factories” as they lead the new wave of Industrial Revolution.

China’s attempt to transform its economy to a “global high-tech leader” is the key to surpassing the United States as the primary beneficiary of the next-generation economy. This transition has presented a new additional labor challenge. The Chinese do not have enough skilled labored to operate their robots. There has been an insufficient amount of in-house training offered to support the increased demand for highly skilled robot operators. As a result, China has been rapidly implementing Robotic Vocational Schools.

China has responded by producing a skilled labor force totaling 63 million. Despite their efforts, there remains a staggering 20-percent shortage from the current demand of 79 million. China has chosen to solve their additional labor shortage by outsourcing to local economies. This will be made possible by China’s “Belt and Road” initiative.
Do you expect robots to become a common sight in stores within the next few years? Why? Why not?
By: Joy Lin
Tags: Robots

During the height of COVID-19 pandemic, I think it was helpful to use robots to replace the human staff to avoid contact with each other. Furthermore, robots have other benefits. Robots would not feel tired so that they can work for the whole day without taking a rest. Moreover, you do not need to give a monthly salary for their service. This could help shop owners to save and cut costs.

Although there are many benefits of robots in the market, I don’t expect them to become a common sight within the next few years. In my opinion, human behaviors are unpredictable so that only humans can solve and respond to multiple situations with flexible ways. Therefore, I believe that no matter how popular robot technology is, humans are still irreplaceable.

However, if we can utilize robots in a right way, I think that humans can spend more time doing more valuable and creative things such as designing, developing, and innovating.

To sum up, how to create a balance between robots and humans is everyone’s responsibility. If we can have good use of robots, I think we can create a more efficient and convenient life.

Why it’s So Hard to Train Robots Soft Skills
By: Alexis Wang
Tags: Soft Skills, Robots, Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Technology

What Are Soft Skills?

Soft skills — the personal attributes, personality traits, inherent social cues, and communication abilities needed for success on the job. They characterize how a person interacts in his or her relationships with others. They include things like adaptability, communication, creative thinking, conflict resolution, etc.

This is the opposite of hard skills, which are job-specific skills you can gain through education, certifications, and training. This could include anything from computer programming to wood framing, depending on the job.

Soft Skills > Hard Skills

Nowadays, more and more people are hiring based on soft skills rather than hard skills for a multitude of reasons.

For one, it’s leagues harder to learn new soft skills rather than hard skills. Learning soft skills requires personal dedication to development, and of course, the “curriculum” looks different for everyone. For instance, one may learn empathy after doing something wrong, through a role model, etc.

But with hard skills, one could learn anything with enough practice and guidance. A great example is with computer science — whether one has a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or learned coding from doing boot camps doesn’t matter, as long as you can do the job. Plus, it doesn’t matter how personally dedicated you are. As long as you do the work, you’ll learn the skills, no matter how you feel about the topic.

Other than training, soft skills are also necessary for the workplace. New, modern companies no longer look like the traditional 9-to-5 day with people in suits sitting in a cubby all day. It’s evolved to be more casual, personal, and collaborative. Even if you have a bunch of fancy credentials, if you’re an asshole to work with, you won’t last very long.

Programming Soft Skills

Neural networks were inspired by the neurons in our brains. Reinforcement learning parallels how humans learn through trial and error. So, let’s draw upon human experience. How did you learn to be empathetic, to understand people’s needs, or to be a team player? We learn from mistakes.

Let’s say I was trying to create an algorithm to draw a dog.

Draw a circle. Draw a face. Draw ears.

… And so on.
the robot take over

hi I’m billy and on july 4 2041 all the electronics were swarming down town. they said in a siri voice we are here to take over .2 month’s later we are slave to the robot they have advanced now they look like mech suits and we have to wear yellow jump suits with numbers but there pretty comfortable they make us do the stuff they were meant to do be for they toke over maybe they wants payback. 2 weeks later it my birthday more good news some people are planing to Escape but the plan is not ready. good news we found the charging station it seems like there mech suits have to charge or else they will shut down. 1 week later we sent 5 of the men to follow the power line and unplug it.3 days later good news we fond the plug bad news its a breaker box if we turn off the wrong switch the robots will know that we are planing to escape.4 weeks later there is an electrician in my camp and he is going to go to the breaker box. 1 week later the electrician pick the right switch but it is Pitch Black bark.1 week later most of the robots are shut down but they have a backup power source so we are in hiding.3 weeks later all the robots are shut down. “red bot flashing”.
Can intelligent beings exist without biological support?

Parked today I was thinking about the world 44 years from now (when my son will be my age).

Things are not as permanent as we think.

Exponentially, it is highly probable that human consciousness will migrate to the artificial world.

Richard Brautigan wrote in 1967:

“I like to think (and

the sooner the better!)

of a cybernetic meadow

where mammals and computers

live together in mutually

programming harmony

like pure water

touching clear sky.

I like to think

(right now, please!)

of a cybernetic forest

filled with pines and electronics

where deer stroll peacefully

past computers

as if they were flowers

with spinning blossoms.

I like to think

(it has to be!)

of a cybernetic ecology

where we are free of our labors

and joined back to nature,

returned to our mammal

brothers and sisters,

and all watched over

by machines of loving grace.”

My job is to be part of that better world, not to remain passive. Contribute to educate machines to be human and really help us.
Basketball Shooting Robot Sets World Record
By: Frank Diana
Tags: Basketball, Toyota, Robots

One future scenario that I describe is called an Automated Society. There is always much skepticism when the scenario is discussed. Our mind tells us that humans do things that automation simply cannot replace. I use sports as a good way to explore the possibility of automating anything we set our minds to. Take for example a robot sinking a hole in one.

It would be easy to dismiss this as algorithms that can handle the math associated with precision on a golf course. How about then a robot at the bowling alley rolling (throwing) a strike.

Not enough? Well, a basketball shooting robot is more accurate then Steph Curry. Toyota built Cue 3 — a three- point shooting robot that recently shot 2,020 free throws in a row to break a Guinness World Record. According to this Article, the team started working on the robot in 2017 and realized that their task was much more complicated than they first imagined. They had to precisely place the basketball in the robot’s hands for each shot. Even the slightest change could cause the robot to miss the shot. Another challenge they had was getting the robot to reset to the exact position after each throw. They also had to worry about the position of the rim, which could be altered by the basketball. Watch Cue 3 in action.

Sports and technology have been the topic of the past month. Other related discussions can be found Here.
I want my therapy dog to have a heartbeat
By: Shamontiel L. Vaughn
Tags: Pets, Robots, Dogs, Technology, Therapy Dogs

As much as I love the people, there is something about a warm, fluffy dog that leaves me fussing with fur on my clothes and putting his (or her) cold nose near me that warms my heart in a different way. Some women believe diamonds are a girl’s best friend. For ladies like me, get a refund on the jewelry; dogs will win me over every single time.

Do robotic therapy dogs have the same appeal for kids and adults?

In a recent post on Science Daily, robotic therapy dogs have grown more advanced and are a hit at a secondary elementary school. Clearly this isn’t the kind of robotic dog that you would see on “The Jetsons.” (‘Lectronimo was no match for Astro.) Today’s robotic dogs are warmer, friendlier and cuter than the four-legged hunk of metal seen in the early days. But I still cannot wrap my mind around paying $130 for a companion robotic pup when I can just pay for the vaccines and have a real pup to steal my yoga mat and snatch food off my kitchen counter. But for kids, this robotic dog was exciting nonetheless.

“Despite the children reporting they significantly preferred the session with the living dog, overall enjoyment was high and they actually expressed more positive emotions following interaction with the robot,” according to the post. “The more the children attributed mental states and sentience to the dog and robot, the more they enjoyed the sessions.”

While I definitely do see the perks of using interactive robotic animals as an alternative, especially for people with pet allergies, I’m not sold on this idea. Unless you live in a condo or apartment where dogs aren’t allowed, I would think that part of the therapeutic appeal of dog ownership or visits is having to learn the ways of a real dog.

For dog lovers who don’t have the time, money or energy to take care of a breathing, lively pup, I get it. Therapy dogs pop up and disappear as needed. For the purpose of hospitals and school visits, I fully understand why it may be easier to just use a robotic therapy dog. But there are some parts of technology that I simply have no interest in seeing the advancements of.

As an adult who was once a child who was completely unimpressed by puppies and a bit afraid of dogs, I could easily see why a robotic dog would be less trouble. But the responsibility factor of learning how to take care of a dog as a child all the way up to senior years remains undefeated. For me, that is all the therapy I need — be it an hour and a half with my mother or 22 years of my life. And judging from some of the stroke survivors in attendance, they’d rather see a dog with a heartbeat, too.
Robots will be everywhere. Here’s how to build your own!
By: Johan Schwind
Tags: Programming, Industrial Design, Robots, C, Python

Over the last two decades robots have made their way from factory floors of the car industry and science fiction stories into the real world: Waymo’s fully autonomous taxis that are now operational in Phoenix, Arizona are essentially highly sophisticated mobile robots. URBAN-X startup Climate Robotics plans to make fleets of agricultural robots to combat climate change. Aaron Edsinger, Google’s former Director of Robotics, started hello robot, a mission-driven company to make household robots accessible to people who need extra help at home. Countless companies experiment with robots that automate everyday tasks from food delivery to brewing coffee.

In all of these instances, we have to consider how robots interact with people, an aspect that was less important when robots operated in isolation along a manufacturing line. We also have to start thinking about the societal impacts of robotic automation. Are we automating tasks just because we can or because it creates real value and improved quality of life? Are we taking away people’s jobs without creating new ones that are worthwhile and fulfilling? With these questions in mind, I believe it is time for designers to get involved in shaping robotic solutions.

An industrial designer by training, I have built technology products for over 10 years but knew almost nothing about robotics until about a year ago. Then suddenly more and more of our startups at URBAN-X began working on robotic solutions and because I have an unrelenting curiosity for figuring out how things work, I started a deep dive into robotics. I’ve learned a lot and would like to share my insights and resources with you — to hopefully get you excited about robotics, too and make your journey to building your own robots a little easier.

To make things more interesting, I paired all of my learning with building an actual mobile robot, called Cerus (pictured above). This series is structured in three chapters that cover all the aspects I had to figure out to get Cerus to work:

Setting out on this journey, my end goal for this series was to achieve two things:

Teleoperation of Cerus using an Xbox controller Getting Cerus to autonomously drive to a pre-defined goal location

Granted, many existing robots out there achieve these things (NVIDIA’s Jetbot is a perfect example) and it would be easy enough to buy a robot that can accomplish these tasks and move on. But I found that starting from first principles these tasks pose formidable design challenges and ended up teaching me a lot of valuable lessons about the design of mobile robots.

Let’s get into it , the first article is here — I hope you’re as excited as I am!

Artificial Intelligence in 2021

Will the robots take our jobs, well at least not for now.

One of the greatest innovative development in current time is Artificial Intelligence otherwise known as (AI). The presentation of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning has radically changed all parts of life, permitting individuals to utilize energizing advances, for example, discourse acknowledgment, facial acknowledgment, and self-driving vehicles. While Artificial Intelligence is as of now executed in a wide scope of ventures, innovation savvy it is as yet in its early stages. This article will cover the critical patterns of innovation in the impending year and decade.

1. Normal Language Processing and Speech Recognition

Common Language Processing — the field inside Artificial Intelligence and software engineering that is worried about breaking down and understanding normal human dialects — is getting progressively more noticeable inside the business climate. Current Natural Language Processing frameworks can break down and measure various types of human correspondence, including composed content and sound information (Speech acknowledgment). Progressively more organizations are depending on common language preparing to smooth out specific pieces of their business, including robotized email characterization and client supposition investigation dependent on discourse information.

2. Profound Learning keeps on flourishing

Profound learning is an AI technique that actualizes neural organizations to make more mind-boggling portrayals of its info information progressively. Because of advances in computational force, top to bottom learning arrangements has gotten financially versatile, having prompted the making of a huge measure of utilizations, including face acknowledgment, object acknowledgment, and the above-characterized regular language preparing procedures. The current profound learning applications just speak to a small amount of the potential executions that are set to utilize later on. For instance, a broad examination is being completed to explore the utilization of profound learning for drug revelation and bioinformatics. Advancements inside this field could radically reform the field of medication, conceivably accelerating the cycle of medication improvement for a wide scope of infections.

The worldwide race for Artificial Intelligence ( AI) predominance will just get wilder. The conceivable outcomes are huge, and the nation that leads in this race may, at last, be the most predominant across different worldwide key performance markers.
How to Study for Heavy Math and Science Courses?
By: Jake Cutter
Tags: Robots, Learning, Studying, Education, Engineering

Short Excerpt from “A Mind for Numbers”

Photo by Fitore F on Unsplash

Unlike other learning that requires a lot of memorization and studying. Math and science courses are a little bit different. Instead of getting information thrown at you, you are given a set of information and you have to know what needs to be applied where. It requires some memorization for equations and such, but a way to study for math is called Chunking. A chunk is just a neural pathway to find the process for a problem. The trouble with maths is that it is easy to think you know something that you don’t actually know yet. You get the illusion that you understand, but all you did was really check the answer and see how they got there.

Dr. Oakley suggests in her book to start learning to chunk. It is a way of using your diffused and focused mode ways of thinking to learn a concept and get to an actual answer and understand. There are five steps.

Chunking:

Work a problem all the way through on paper: This is your first try on an unknown problem. This step is particularly painful.

Do another rep of the problem paying attention to the key processes:This is much quicker than the first. Special interest on the process instead of the product or answer.

Take a break: You can look at other subjects or move on to a new topic in the same subject. But it is important to get your diffused mode activated, which is your subconscious when doing something else.

Sleep: Pretty straight forward

Do another rep the next day: As soon as you can do it again the next day. At this point, it should be much better understood. After this step is the continued practice to learn the computation. Focusing on the hard stuff is “ considered deliberate practice.”

Add a New Problem: This step is your second addition to your brain chunks. Repeat 1–5.

Active Repetitions: Mentally retrieve and recall what you did and how you solved them when doing something active.

A built-up library is called the generation effect. Dr. Oakley says, “ Generating(recalling) the material helps you learn it much more effectively than simply rereading.”

A recent research report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF) states that the next In five years, 85 million human workers will be replaced by robot workers. According to the report, a survey conducted by the World Forum in 300 major organizations and companies around the world found that 4 out of 5 organizations want to digitize their work.

In other words, 4 out of 5 organizations want to get the services of robots instead of being content with human labor due to diseases and other disasters. According to the World Economic Forum, before the Corona epidemic in 2007 and 2008, companies began to use robots and machines instead of humans. After Tabum Corona, the nature of work changed and over the next 5 years, ie 5 years, robots or machines will replace 85 million people worldwide.

Areas in which robots or machines will replace humans; These include Data Entry Operator, Administrative Secretaries, Accounts and Audit: Customer Service Workers, Operational Manager and Stock Recorder Manager. In addition to these areas, robots will be used to replace humans using artificial intelligence in many other areas, and in this regard, business companies and institutions have also developed themselves. The World Economic Forum report said that although the next five years Robots will be deployed to replace 80 million humans

However, 90 million jobs are expected to be created in the same period. The report states that by 2025, Data Analyst Strategy Specialist Business Development Professional; It will also create 90 million jobs for special people in other fields, including information security analysts and software developers.

Robeetle : Alcohol Powered Microbot
By: Rabinder Kumar
Tags: Microbot, Robots, AI, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics

People have seen many robots powered by plug outlets and batteries, but this tiny robot is a little rebel.

This microbot named ‘Robeetle’ runs on Methanol, it is also known as wood alcohol. (CH3OH) Methanol fuel contains more energy than batteries and it also doesn’t require any extra power source or EM field.

According to the report of Science Robotics , Robeetle is able to climb up slopes and can navigate the surface like glass, foam, or concrete. It can carry 95 milligrams of fuel, which could power up to 2 hours.

Now Scientists need to learn about its refueling to keep it continuously charged for a longer period and if they design to communicate with human then Robeetle could assist the human in micro-level complex surgeries and other scientific tasks.

Japan just casually unveiled a giant robot.

Japan just casually unveiled a giant robot. Looking like something out of the Transformers movies, this bad boy is 59 feet tall and far more terrifying than it is meant to be. At least, I’m assuming it’s not meant to be terrifying.

Has no one in Japan watched any sci-fi movies or Doctor Who? At least when we’ve been keeping our robots small, we can kid ourselves with the fact that we could take ’em on.

Yes, this is a pretty cool thing. Yes, it’s a feat to make a giant robot that actually moves. Yes, robots already exist and our cars and homes are filled with AI. But, damn, Japan. This is some next-level technology shit that is — definitely — going to kill us in the end. Because when has anything we’ve done as humans gone exactly as we planned?
17. Buy
By: Father
Tags: Consumerism, Robots, Father And Daughter

I am fed up with the buying philosophy of life.

Empty people filling their lives by doing things constantly and buying things constantly. People sharing the things they by on social media constantly. People sharing images of what they do, where they go, constantly. People you can not know anything about except their consuming habits and the places they go to spend their time and money. Not much else. Some activities are meaningful, and tell you a bit about their priorities in life, but that is all there is. People who are robots consuming and doing things. No reflection, no meaningful interactions, honest human interactions. It is a flat showcase of void activity and senseless consumerism.

I am fed up of the city we live in, a city which leads you to consume. Malls. Shopping centers. Paid activities. People’s favorite topic of conversation is what you bought, what you did, what you will do, what you will buy, what you will sell, what you will borrow, what you will buy second hand, what you will get rid of, what space left you have, what space you need to free. It is all about having and not having, buying and selling, doing and redoing.

There is absolutely no perspective, pause, and understanding of human condition.

I am surrounded by human beings who are choosing to act like robots. When robots become more present in our societies, these people will be totally disposable.

Dear daughter, do not forget to remain a human being. You can see the world from the eyes of a human being. Uncertainty, doubt, hope and poetry are totally fine. They will give meaning to your life. Buying and doing are not enough unless they are meaningful and serve your own purpose as a human being.

Robot of the Month Club

From artist Craig Snodgrass comes the Robot of the Month Club. Members receive early access to a limited robot designer toy each month. Just like Craig Snodgrass’ emotive robot illustrations and paintings, each toy has it’s own background and personality. Subscribers have the option of having the robot hand-painted by the artist.

About Craig Snodgrass

Craig Snodgrass grew up in various towns and mountain-tops through out Appalachia. Craig has been creating artwork ever since his mother sat him down with some water-colors, paper, and a nice warm glass of “don’t bother me for 15 minutes”. Craig has been staying out of peoples hair ever since.

Born in a decade when American pop-culture had reached it’s peak, Craig Snodgrass’ squishy little sponge brain was open to absorb all it had to offer. Fed a steady diet of Saturday morning cartoons, hand-me-down MAD Magazines, Star Wars, He-Man, G.I. Joe, Atari 2600 and more Craig’s love of all things weird was solidified at an early age. Growing into the 90’s new interests emerged that would take Craig deeper down the rabbit hole of strange — Stephen King novels, Dungeons and Dragons, the internet, David Bowie, Nick Cave and The X-Files. These artifacts of entertainment have heavily influenced Craig’s artistic sensibilities.

Over the past several years Craig has created an amount of artwork nothing short of prolific, wrote and illustrated a children’s book, won a contest to design a city bus, developed designer toys, and produced art and design for numerous brands. Craig is currently based in Virginia with his wife, daughter, dog, two guinea pigs, two rats, one crested gecko and one carnival goldfish.

Future of Jobs: My Take. This is my take on future of my…

This is my take on future of my industry when one of my mentor asked me to write about it -

Future of tech industry (or maybe all industries) will be very much guided by the artificial intelligence. What I think is AI have no consciousness of its own. But there are a lot of things in which we are very slow at. Take the calculation for example — Human can never beat an AI in finding the solution of 12345 * 54321 in given time. Also algorithm based decisions are what AI excels at and we do reasoning there. Arguably there are some tasks which AI can perform a miles better than us and these number of tasks (in which AI outperforms us) are increasing year by year. And ofcourse our lifespan is going to increase by the biotechnological advancements happening in the next 2–3 decades. Not far are the days when our favourite actor will be an AI.

Imagine one of the top paid actor of the hollywood is not a human but a bot.

Imagine the cab running at 90 km/hr in which you are sitting is driven by AI and all of sudden there comes a little girl in front of cab and a lot of vehicles are following you so AI has to decide whether to save the girl or you.

Imagine you are feeling sick and you take a pill in which a small tiny chip is embed and you get to know what’s happening inside your body on an app(to which that chip is sending analytics).

Imagine chosing your lifepartner using an algorithm because you know the algorithm knows much about you than yourself.
Introduction & Use of Robots.txt
By: Naushil Jain
Tags: Website Traffic, SEO, Robots, Website Marketing, Web Development

A Robots.txt is a text file, Which instructs Crawlers (typically search engine robots) how to crawl pages on their website. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests. It is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of all crawlers. To keep a web page out of the crawler, you should use noindex directives, or password-protect your page. The robots.txt file is part of the robots exclusion protocol (REP), a group of web standards that regulate how robots crawl the web, access and index content, and serve that content up to users.

Location

A robots.txt file lives at the root of your website. So, for the site www.example.com, the robots.txt file lives at www.example.com/robots.txt. Robots.txt is case sensitive: the file must be named “robots.txt” (not Robots.txt, robots.TXT, or otherwise). It includes one or more rules. Each rule blocks (or allows) access for a given crawler to a specified file path in that website.

Basic Formats of Robots.txt

User-agent: [user-agent name]Disallow: [URL string not to be crawled]

Blocking all web crawlers from all content

User-agent: * Disallow: /

Allowing all web crawlers access to all content

User-agent: * Disallow:

Blocking a specific web crawler from a specific folder

User-agent: Googlebot Disallow: /example-subfolder/

Blocking a specific web crawler from a specific web page

User-agent: Bingbot Disallow: /example-subfolder/blocked-page.html

Test your robots.txt with the robots.txt Tester

The robots.txt Tester tool shows you whether your robots.txt file blocks Google web crawlers from specific URLs on your site. For example, you can use this tool to test whether the Googlebot-Image crawler can crawl the URL of an image you wish to block from Google Image Search.
Robot Vs Cancer 🤖
Tags: Cancer, Health, Robots, Business, Technology

It’s been long said that the robot revolution was going to change our lives forever. Whether it be the extinction of mankind or the optimization of everything from weapons, to manufacturing and even the finance industry.

One of the most important uses for robots and artificial intelligence comes in the form of human health. Over the past 50 years, there has been a serious problem: “”mapping the three-dimensional shapes of the proteins that are responsible for diseases from cancer to Covid-19". Google’s Deepmind has solved this issue.

According to a new report from The Independent, Google’s Deepmind claims to have created a program named AlphaFold that can solve these mapping problems in “a matter of days”. This would be a major development if true and would mean this technology has arrived “decades” before it was expected.

There are millions and millions of known proteins in the human body and only a small percentage are understood. These technological developments could mean big changes for the way we fight disease.

Nobel Laureate and Professor Venki Ramakrishnan had this to say on the matter: “This computational work represents a stunning advance on the protein-folding problem, a 50-year-old grand challenge in biology. It has occurred decades before many people in the field would have predicted. It will be exciting to see the many ways in which it will fundamentally change biological research.”

How Starship robots see the world

First of all deep learning is called deep for a reason. The deeper the network is — the more sophisticated patterns it is able to learn. Why not just stacking 2X-3X more layers to the baseline net? This would proportionally increase the amount of compute required, increase the latency, and consequently robot’s reaction time. We do not want to make a robot lag behind reality for 1–2 seconds, right? A car may have already rushed right in front of the robot’s nose and disappeared behind the horizon by that time. Luckily we can interleave 3x3 and 1x1 Conv2D layers and juggle with channel sizes to match the inference time of the baseline much like Resnet or Darknet base blocks do. One nice consequence of increasing the depth of the network is an increase in the weight count. Why on Earth you would like to have a heavier model, you may ask? The reason is that the task at hand has its own intrinsic complexity, the number of degrees of freedom. And a neural network must have enough capacity to incorporate all the knowledge about the task to achieve maximal accuracy.

Honey, I’ve shrunk the robot. Image by the author.

An important thing to make when you have a CNN is to analyze its receptive field. For every pixel of the output feature map, a receptive field is the area of the original image that is visible to it.

Analysis of the receptive field size. Image by the author.

It turned out that even the deeper architecture had a very limited receptive field and did not give detections a chance to analyze the global context of the scene. Luckily academia has already proposed a way to increase the receptive field: Feature Pyramid Network (FPN). You can take a look at the link to the paper down below. FPN chops away some amount of compute, so to incorporate it into the architecture I had to shrink channels throughout the main backbone layers. However, eventually, the network showed a couple of percent increase in mean average precision (mAP) for the same latency cap: a clear win of the FPN-enabled architecture.
What if Robots Take Over the World

You might have heard this a million times before but have you ever imagined a robot being a significant part of your daily life? Will they be living among us? Or Will we be not able to live without them in the future, just like mobile phones and the internet?

It is being said by several sources that the newest robots can even read your mind. Yes, you heard it right!

Researchers have been exploring the potential of systems that connect up the human brain and technology for years. And now they have reached a point where a robot can be navigated just by a point of thought and as years pass they may develop a mind of one’s own

Would you date a Robot?

Have you ever been on a dating app before? Have you gone out for a date with someone you met through the same? Imagine yourself sitting at a coffee table waiting for someone for your first date. You have been waiting for him/her for quite a while and texting asking where he/she has reached. And after a while there (s)he is! A humanoid robot who looks exactly like what you have seen in the dating profile

You talk like you are just talking to a prospective companion. You share your interests. You go for a walk after coffee. You go for a movie together. Finally, you fix your next date as well. But everything with a robot. What a world you are in!

This is never a new concept.

A movie named HER has already depicted a similar version of this concept, wherein a man falls in love with an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice

A Robot a day keeps the doctor away

Have you ever imagined you being treated for fever by a robot doctor? Do you think a robot can do a surgical procedure like just another doctor?

Yes, it may be possible. Robots with Artificial Intelligence is capable enough to process huge data with high-level accuracy and make decisions to prescribe medicines to a patient with a set of symptoms

Would you feel skeptical about being treated by a mechanized doctor? Probably Yes!

But the future is Robot, they say.
