  10 Robots That are Changing the World The robots are coming, and they are taking over the world. Well, that is the popular misconception about our robotic counterparts. In reality, robots have been around for a long time in one form or another, and the purpose has always been to assist the human world. Whether you realise it or not, we have been using robotic technology for years. Think about your mobile ‘smart’ phone; AI enables you to speak into your phone and ask it questions and receive answers. Although the likelihood of every home having a robot ‘butler’ is some time away, great advances are being made, and new technologies are being constantly developed. So let us get on with a snapshot of 10 incredible robots and how they are set to change our world. 1. UK’s Micro Robots Roadworks could become a thing of the past thanks to these tiny ‘insect-like’ robots. The  British Government has invested £26.6 million  into the project to create the robots that will be able ...

  Robotic Process Automation: 10 questions to consider It is well publicised that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation will significantly impact the workplace in the next few years. The immediate opportunities include the creation of a digital workforce which undertakes the mundane administrative tasks that workers currently perform. PWC  estimate that around 3% of jobs are at risk by the mid-2020s. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) provides a method to do this for users of business applications. RPA is a software productivity tool which allows business rules and scripted actions to complete processes automatically in the same way that a human would. The robot (or “bot”) provides a highly dependable, repetitive service and leaves a clear audit trail as it completes tasks. People are then used for the purposes of exception management and reviewing activity. RPA may also offer a tactical solution to extend the life of legacy systems where “manual workarounds” overcome proc...

  Well, I see that many of my readers keep asking me about how they can become hackers . My answer to all of them is that you can't really start one way to get everything overnight. Honestly, there is no secret to that . Many newbies keep asking questions like, " Where should I start learning to hack ?" Or " How can I hack someone's email or Facebook account ?" Here, let me tell you that it all lies in the fact that you can only follow this hacking knowledge if you are fascinated with the technology and want to learn more and more about it. Hacking is completely a skill and you can only learn it over time . In addition, you need to have a mind that knows how to experiment , you can fail many times and therein lies your challenge. No matter how many times you slide down, you will still need to maintain your patience and keep working at it . Another important thing about it is that you must have the knowledge about cyber ethics . I would never recommend doing ...

Artificial Intelligence — The Next Big Revolution in Computing Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. It has become an essential part of the technology industry. It emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. Some of the activities computers with artificial intelligence are designed for include: Speech recognition Learning Planning Problem solving Research associated with artificial intelligence is highly technical and specialized. The core problems of artificial intelligence include programming computers for certain traits such as: Knowledge Reasoning Problem solving Perception Learning Planning Ability to manipulate and move objects There are four types of artificial intelligence: reactive machines, limited memory, theory of mind and self-awareness. · Reactive Machines Reactive machines are basic in that they do not store ‘memories’ or use past experiences to determine future actions. They...

What robots and AI may mean for university lecturers and students Published: April 15, 2019 10.32am BST   Nisreen Ameen ,  Queen Mary University of London J The number of robots around the world is increasing rapidly. And it’s said that automation will threatening   more than 800m jobs worldwide by 2030 . In the UK, it’s claimed robots will replace 3.6m workers by this date, which means   one in five British jobs   would be performed by an intelligent machine. Jobs in higher education are no exception – with  recent studies  showing a rapid advancement in the use of  these technologies in universities . The full potential of these disruptive technologies is yet to be discovered, but their impact on teaching and learning is expected to be huge. This means that higher education might be affected by these technologies earlier than other sectors. Artificial intelligence is set to have a significant impact. And not just on teaching and learning, b...
