Human-robot interaction is a key to unlock the potential of service robotics
Advances in human-robot interaction, enabled by graphics displays, artificial intelligence and sensors, are ushering in a new generation of service robots that are easy to programme and intuitive to use. In Munich, from 19 to 22 June, 2018, automatica will demonstrate how state-of-the-art products and systems – from flexible, collaborative robot tools to smart warehouses and humanoids—place people at the heart of their design, enabling not only better assistance and collaboration but also reduced costs.

The European Commission’s Horizon 2020 (H2020) work programme identifies human-robot interaction (HRI) as one of four core robotics technologies, to which it is pledging project funding of EUR 66 million for 2018–20. “Human-machine interaction or HRI is considered key for both industrial and service robotics,” says Martin Haegele, Head of Robot and Assistive Systems at Fraunhofer IPA. “The robot is a part of a scenario operated by professional end-users and service companies, in agriculture, healthcare and rehabilitation, logistics, security and retail. Most of these applications share one common feature, they operate without a safety fence. Exposed to everyday environments, robots have to meet safety standards, they have to be operated safely and intuitively, so obviously HRI is the most important feature.”

PayPal acquires AI predictive retail startup Jetlore

Payments provider PayPal today announced plans to acquire Jetlore, a San Mateo-based startup that specializes in artificial intelligent retail systems, for an undisclosed sum.

Jetlore, which was founded in January 2011 by students from Stanford University’s computer science program, leverages machine learning to deliver “personalized” experiences from retail chains like Uniqlo and Nordstrom Rack. The startup’s predictive technology analyzes “billions” of customer data points and product data, including apparel attributes like sizes, color, fit, and style preferences, as well as brands and preferred materials, which inform its customer targeting products.

Jetlore’s Predictive Layouts feature, for example, allows marketing teams to target certain groups of customers with distinct email, homepage, and in-app experiences. It learns customer preferences from their interactions over time and dynamically adapts, populating content where users are most likely to see it. Jetlore claims that Predictive Layouts can generate between 60 and 70 percent more revenue per email or pageview and reduce customer churn by 12 percent.

Google will open an AI center in Ghana later this year, its first in Africa

Tech giants are pouring money into artificial intelligence. Baidu and Google spent between $20 and $30 billion on AI in 2016 alone, according to research from McKinsey. In Google’s case, a portion of that investment went to AI centers in China and France, and the Mountain View company shows no signs of slowing down. Google announced its new AI research center will be in Accra, Ghana.

“In recent years, we’ve … witnessed an increasing interest in machine learning research across the continent,” senior Google AI fellow Jeff Dean and staff research scientist Moustapha Cisse wrote in a blog post. “Events like Data Science Africa 2017 in Tanzania, the 2017 Deep Learning Indaba event in South Africa, and follow-on IndabaX events in 2018 in multiple countries have shown an exciting and continuing growth of the computer science research community in Africa.”

Google said that employees in the new AI center, which will open later this year, will work closely with local universities, other research centers, and policymakers on the potential uses of AI in Africa. This is Google’s first center devoted solely to AI research in Africa, and as far as we can tell, the first of any tech giant (beating Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft to the punch).

Jane.ai raises $8.4 million for an enterprise chatbot that can search through emails, files, and more

Sifting through old files is laborious enough for one person, but for large-scale organizations and enterprises with thousands of employees, it’s nightmarish. That’s why former Answers.com CEO David Karandish founded Jane.ai, an artificially intelligent platform that indexes data from cloud storage providers, teams, and more.

Jane.ai, which allows employees to search through its corpus using conversational language, launched today with $8.4 million in funding from a Midwest network of private and angel investors.

“We created Jane to help everyday workers be more successful by eliminating the wasted time and effort that comes from searching for basic workplace information,” Karandish said in a statement. “We’ve all grown accustomed to the convenience of on-demand, personalized services and voice-controlled speakers at home, but we have yet to benefit from these same conveniences at work. Jane is an intuitive, intelligent AI-powered Teammate who gives employees instant access to the information they need to do their jobs well.”

Agorai.AI Unveils £20 Million Investment in UK AI Market, Appoints Sir George Zambellas to Board of Directors
-Agorai, an integrated marketplace for Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and the data assets that fuel them, is announcing it has committed to invest £20 million in the UK AI market. The investment will help accelerate the economic benefits that can be generated by leveraging the power of AI and its ability to transform society and positively impact the UK economy. The multi-year investment announced today will be distributed over the next five years. It will span the AI ecosystem by focusing on three key areas: education, empowerment, and entrepreneurship.

• Education: Agorai will seek to accelerate AI education and research, helping the UK become an AI research hotspot. Specifically, Agorai will invest in education by providing grants and software licenses to universities and research centres across the UK.
• Empowerment: Access to AI should not be restricted to large businesses alone. Agorai will work to encourage and empower the UK’s small and medium sized businesses to access AI. A programme of workshops will ensure they have the requisite information to apply AI to their business. Agorai will provide two-week workshops, free of charge, to approximately 150 companies per year. It is hoped this will help accelerate AI adoption across the UK.
• Entrepreneurship: Agorai will launch an AI Accelerator in London providing funds to entrepreneurs, the lifeblood of an economy, seeking to build AI powered solutions designed to improve and transform industries. Start-up companies selected to take part in the Accelerator will enjoy access to top business leaders and AI experts, financial funding, and receive allotments of Agorai licenses. The firms can then develop and deploy their software solutions on the Agorai platform, taking full advantage of the resources, assets and latest technology innovations available through the AI and Data marketplaces to help create a global ecosystem of AI innovators.
