"We analyzed the needs of our customers, and there was a demand," says Promobot co-founder and development director Oleg Kivokurtsev. "But, of course, we started the development of an anthropomorphic robot a long time ago, since in robotics there is the concept of the 'Uncanny Valley,' and the most positive perception of the robot arises when it looks like a person!

Self-transforming robot blocks jump, spin, flip, and identify each other | MIT News
Swarms of simple, interacting robots have the potential to unlock stealthy abilities for accomplishing complex tasks. Getting these robots to achieve a true hive-like mind of coordination, though, has proved to be a hurdle.
In an effort to change this, a team from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) came up with a surprisingly simple scheme: self-assembling robotic cubes that can climb over and around one another, leap through the air, and roll across the ground.
Six years after the project's first iteration, the robots can now "communicate" with each other using a barcode-like system on each face of the block that allows the modules to identify each other. The autonomous fleet of 16 blocks can now accomplish simple tasks or behaviors, such as forming a line, following arrows, or tracking light.
MIT's M-Block Robots Roll, Jump, and Flip to Form Structures - ExtremeTech
The M-Blocks were designed at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) under the supervision of professor and CSAIL Director Daniela Rus. The project started back in 2013 with the aim of designing a more scalable robotic system that doesn’t rely on complex movement mechanisms. The team started working with so-called “inertial forces” to move their 6-sided robots around, and that eventually led to the M-Blocks.
Each cube-shaped robot has a flywheel that moves at 20,000 revolutions per minute. The robot applies a brake to the flywheel when it needs to move, harnessing the angular momentum to roll and hop across a surface. Each side also has permanent magnets that help it connect to other M-Blocks, and small barcodes on the faces help the robots identify each other.
The M-Blocks might not be as quick to reach a destination compared with a wheeled or walking robot. They can only move in one of the four cardinal directions but can do so from any of their six faces. That’s a total of 24 different movement directions. The cubes also have to launch themselves at each other and rely on the magnets to straighten out the collisions. Luckily, they can cover a lot of ground with each leap and can even climb up “walls” composed of other M-Blocks.
MIT's new robot blocks self-assemble just like a transformer
When we watched the first Transformers movie, most of us wanted our toasters and washing machines to turn into cool robots. Now, MIT has developed a set of self-assembling robot blocks that can identify each other.
These robots, called M-Blocks 2.0, have a barcode-like system on each face that helps them recognize and communicate with other blocks. Right now, these 16 blocks can perform tasks such as forming a line, following arrows, tracking light, and traversing down a path of arrows.
These blocks can travel along other blocks, climb up or down each other, and even jump. Check out their slick moves in the video below.

Each M-block has a flywheel that rotates at 20,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), and uses angular momentum from a break to move around. These blocks use a built-in magnet to stick to each other and form a robust structure.

Behind those headlines: Don't believe claims robots threaten half our jobs
This study lies behind the claim that 47% of jobs in the United States were at "high risk" of automation over the next ten or so years.
* * *
Google Scholar says it has been cited more than 4,300 times , a figure that doesn't count newspaper headlines.
In Australia and elsewhere the study's predictions have led to calls for a Universal Basic Income and for a " work guarantee " that would allocate the smaller number of jobs fairly.
Second, the predictions have not fared well when compared to actual changes in employment in the United States in the time since they were made.
The study authors asked a group of machine learning experts to identify jobs from a long list that could be automated.
The experts concluded that half of the jobs on the list could be done by robotics and artificial intelligence in the near future.
Why Rhealyn Mugri believes emotional intelligence will set humans and robots apart
Fintech project leader Rhealyn Mugri told Siliconrepublic.com why soft skills will be critical in separating us from our robot colleagues.
Rhealyn Mugri, a project leader at Fiserv (formerly First Data), is set to appear on stage at Comtrade's Quest for Quality event in Dublin.
The two-day software QA and testing conference is taking place on 5 and 6 November. This year's instalment will focus on the intersection of AI and quality assurance, and tickets are still available.
Ahead of her keynote appearance at the event, she explored with us the benefits of embracing change as we get closer to the future of work, and why that cultural shift needs to start now.
'Companies, I think, will need to be more human than ever to attract the best talent'
– RHEALYN MUGRI

As I see it, the workforce will massively change. Humans will be working alongside robots. Artificial intelligence will be the key to precise and accurate work, saving a lot of time and money for industries. Yet, more than ever, top management will have to up their skills in the field of emotional intelligence to fill in for what robots and AI may lack.
