The Internet Archive urges news organizations to preserve their content in the Wayback Machine to ensure public access to historical news. With news websites frequently removing or altering articles, the archive serves as a critical tool for accountability, research, and digital preservation. The post outlines how publishers can partner with the Archive to safeguard journalism for future generations.
A tiny 10-KB gating model determines when a large 4-billion-parameter robot policy should activate, enabling efficient, event-triggered control for embodied AI systems. This approach reduces computational overhead by keeping the large model dormant until the small model detects a need for action.
This article explores a new generation of industrial robots designed with force-limiting technology that allows them to "pull punches" — detecting human proximity and reducing impact force to prevent injury. These collaborative robots (cobots) represent a shift from traditional safety cages toward safer human-robot interaction on factory floors, potentially transforming manufacturing workflows and worker safety standards.
Alibaba has released new AI models designed specifically for robots, signaling a broader industry shift from conversational chatbots toward autonomous AI agents. The models aim to enhance robots' ability to understand and interact with the physical world, marking a strategic move as the tech giant competes in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
