If we can’t deploy something useful to real world then what is the point of having this amazing AI technology at hand. This is my POV on Why I Believe AGI is the Unclear Goal (and Why Specialisation is the “Practical” Useful Way Forward) In the quest to create machines that think and learn like humans, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has often been regarded as the “holy grail” of artificial intelligence. However, I believe that AGI may not be the most practical goal and could be based on a misunderstood view of intelligence itself. Instead, I suggest a more grounded approach that mirrors the highly specialised nature of human knowledge and skills. ...

If you’re an aspiring robotics engineer, you’ve probably dreamed of building robots that seamlessly interact with humans, understanding their actions, anticipating their needs, and working safely side-by-side. Let’s talk about one critical component which is extremely essential to build such robots, and the name of that component is “Action Recognition.” What is Action Recognition? “SlowFast networks, introduced by researchers at Facebook AI, use two parallel video pathways—one operating at a lower frame rate for richer spatial context (Slow), and one at a higher frame rate for capturing rapid motion (Fast). This dual-pathway approach efficiently fuses both slow and fast temporal features, providing state-of-the-art performance in video action recognition.” ...

Hey there! If you’re new here, my name is Mayur. I graduated from the University of Bristol in Advanced Robotics & AI, and now I’m doing my research in one of the biggest robotics labs in the UK. Today, I’m going to answer a question that comes up a lot: How important is Electronics Engineering in robotics? Can you get into robotics if you have an Electronics background? Are you making the wrong choice by picking electronics even though you love Robotics? Is it too late to get into robotics because you graduated with an Electronics Engineering degree? The short answer is, yes, electronics engineering is super important for robotics. But how? Let me explain that by sharing my personal story, since I started with an Electronics Engineering background. ...
