Robot Developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Answers Questions in Second Life
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are using the virtual world, Second Life, to experiment with artificial intelligence, according to a recent Associated Press article.
Researchers at the university’s Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning Laboratory created a digital robot in Second Life whose movements and utterances are determined by a computer. The robot Edd can, among other things, answer the question, “Where are you from?”
The director of the laboratory says Edd could be a precursor to more sophisticated robots who interact with real people in subway stations or on city streets. —Andrea L. Foster
