A robot called Linda developed by computer scientists at the University of Lincoln, UK, has appeared on Channel 4’s Gadget Man. In the fourth series of the technology show, presenter Richard Ayoade test-drives new technological devices designed to make life easier. In an episode exploring the theme Health and Safety, aired at 8.30pm on Monday…
Researchers have programmed a robot that is able to understand and react to human movement. The team, based at the University of Lincoln, UK, have developed a computational model which focusses on the essence of movement, representing the relative movement of human and robot in relation to one another. This enables the robot to reason…
Linda the robot is generating a great deal of interest at the Universities Week event at the Natural History Museum in London. The specialist mobile robot is one of six currently being programmed to act intelligently in real-world environments, with the ultimate aim of being able to support security guards or staff in care homes. She is…
