#New Algorithm Lets Robots Autonomously Plan for Tasks Researchers from MIT have developed a new algorithm that lets autonomous robots divvy up assembly tasks on the fly,
This week, at the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineersinternational Conference on Robotics and Automation, a group of MIT researchers were nominated for two best-paper awards for a new algorithm that can significantly reduce robot teamsplanning time.
The plan the algorithm produces may not be perfectly efficient, but in many cases, the savings in planning time will more than offset the added execution time.
Courtesy of the researchersthe researchers also tested the viability of their algorithm by using it to guide a crew of three robots in the assembly of a chair. ee really excited about the idea of using robots in more extensive ways in manufacturing,
says Daniela Rus, the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor in MIT Department of Electrical engineering and Computer science,
whose group developed the new algorithm. or this, we need robots that can figure things out for themselves more than current robots do.
We see this algorithm as a step in that direction. us is joined on the paper by three researchers in her lab first author Mehmet Dogar
and Andrew Spielberg and Stuart Baker, both graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science. Grasping consequencesthe problem the researchers address is one in
Principled procrastinationthe algorithm begins by devising a plan that completely ignores the grasping problem. This is the equivalent of a plan in
Then the algorithm considers the transition from one stage of the operation to the next from the perspective of a single robot
If the algorithm were permitted to run to completion its last few grasp decisions might require the modification of every robot behavior at every step of the assembly process,
In some, they found that their algorithm could, in minutes, produce a workable plan that involved just a few drops,
But their algorithm could still produce a workable plan. ith an elegant heuristic approach to a complex planning problem,

Imagine if when you run a set of computations that not only information is processed but physical matter is manipulated algorithmically as well.
The ability to precisely control droplets using fluidic computation could have a number of applications in high-throughput biology and chemistry,
allowing observation of computation as it occurs in real time. The presence or absence of a droplet represents the 1s and 0s of binary code
and the clock ensures that all the droplets move in perfect synchrony, and thus the system can run virtually forever without any errors. ollowing these rules,

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year, Fraunhofer IIS (Institute for Integrated circuits) demonstrated a system based on a combination of powerful standard algorithms that can encode
along with data traffic, incorporating algorithms that can recover from packet loss, which turns today Voice over internet Protocol (Voip) calls into choppy, unintelligible hash.
The technology includes algorithms that encode music and other nonspeech audio, sounds that are mangled typically by codes optimized to squeeze many voice calls into narrow slices of the spectrum.
Most 4g smartphones include dedicated circuits running algorithms to code and decode 7, 000-Hz HD Voice,
Its speech compression algorithms are more complex and powerfulthan those used for the decade-old HD Voice system,
The codec also includes other algorithms developed to compress music. The separate algorithms are vital
because speech and music are compressed in different ways. Voice compression typically relies on algorithms called code-excited linear prediction (CELP),
which is built on the physics underlying the human vocal system. CELP can reduce the data rate of voice signals by about a factor of 10. hat coding did a good job on speech
Music-compression algorithms, such as the MP3 and AAC codecs used for streaming audio, are optimized for human auditory perception.
For example, the algorithms don bother to accurately reproduce the soft components of sounds likely to be masked by louder sounds at other frequencies and times.
containing algorithms for both voice and music, and it switches between them as needed. The new voice algorithms are substantially more complex than those of the decade-old 7, 000-Hz codec.
Rather than being developed around characteristics of specific languages, as earlier codecs were, these are nearly language independent.
The music part is the latest low-latency version of the AAC algorithm, developed for real-time streamed communications.

Javascript is its programming language. Over the years, however, wee seen more and more efforts that allow developers to work around some of the limitations of Javascript by building compilers that transpile code in other languages to Javascript.
Some of these projects focus on adding new features to the language (like Microsoft Typescript) or speeding up Javascript (like Mozilla asm. js project.
Now, many of these projects are starting to come together in the form of Webassmbly. The new format is meant to allow programmers to compile their code for the browser (currently the focus is on C/C++,
with other languages to follow), where it is executed then inside the Javascript engine. Instead of having to parse the full code,
though, which can often take quite a while (especially on mobile), Webassembly can be decoded significantly faster The idea is that Webassembly will provide developers with a single compilation target for the web that will,
Javascript files are simple text files that are downloaded from the server and then parsed and compiled by the Javascript engine in the browser.
The Webassembly team decided to go with a binary format because that code can be compressed even more than the standard Javascript text files
and because it much faster for the engine to decode the binary format (up to 23x faster in the current prototype) than parsing asm. js code, for example.
In this early stage, the team also plans to launch a so-called polyfill library that will translate Webassembly code into Javascript
Over time then, the teams will build more tools (compilers, debuggers, etc. and add support for more languages (Rust,
Go and C# ,for example). As Javascript inventor (and short-term Mozilla CEO) Brendan Eich points out today,
once the main browsers support the new format natively, Javascript and Webassembly will be able to diverge again.
The team notes that the idea here is not to replace Javascript, by the way, but to allow many more languages to be compiled for the Web.
Indeed, chances are that both Javascript and Webassembly will be used side-by-side and some parts of the application may use Webassembly modules (animation, visualization, compression, etc.),
while the user interface will still be written mostly in Javascript, for example. It not often that we see all the major browser vendors work together on a project like this,
so this is definitely something worth watching in the months and years ahead s

During the 1990s and 2000s computer scientists repeatedly attempted to design algorithms circuits and neural networks that could perform this trick.

Not Programming Eugene Izhikevich thinks you shouldn t have to write code in order to teach robots new tricks.
Instead of programming you show it consistent examples of desired behavior. Izhikevich s startup Brain Corporation based in San diego has developed an operating system for robots called Brainos to make that possible.
while faster than programming it produces less predictable behavior. You wouldn t want to use the technique to ensure that an autonomous car could detect jaywalkers for example he says.
