Conscious, sentient robots are a lofty goal for artificial intelligence engineers. But right now, we can't even agree on what that would look like.

YouTube videos of robots running and jumping can be pretty persuasive as to what autonomous technologies can do. However, there is a large gap between robots’ locomotion and their ability to handle ...

The computer scientist Christoph Salge is trying to circumvent the need for rules that guide robots’ behavior. His strategy: Give them a goal of making us more powerful.

When we began our research on empathetic robots, we realized that algorithms similar to those that extract user sentiment from online comments could help us analyze emotion in speech.
