Eureka! NVIDIA Corp. today said it has developed a new artificial intellience agent that can teach robots complex skills. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company said that Eureka has trained a robotic hand to perform rapid pen-spinning tricks as fast as a human can. The prestidigitation, shown in the video above, is one of nearly 30 tasks that Eureka has taught robots by autonomously writing reward algorithms. Eureka has also taught robots to open drawers and cabinets, toss and catch balls, and manipulate scissors, among other tasks. NVIDIA Research today published the Eureka library of AI algorithms, so people can experiment…

Tokyo-based startup Telexistence this week announced it will deploy NVIDIA AI-powered robots to restock shelves at hundreds of FamilyMart convenience stores in Japan. There are 56,000 convenience stores in Japan — the third-highest density worldwide. Around 16,000 of them are run by FamilyMart, according to NVIDIA. Telexistence aims to save time for these stores by offloading repetitive tasks like refilling shelves of beverages to a robot, allowing retail staff to tackle more complex tasks like interacting with customers. Telexistence’s robots run on the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI and robotics platform, NVIDIA said. “We want to deploy robots to industries that…
