A Microsoft AI system has set the all-time high score for the game Ms. Pac-Man with 999,990 points – the highest possible score in the game. The AI mastered Ms. Pac-Man by assigning a number of AI agents different tasks and having them work collaboratively.

If approved, Lyft customers will be able to the Lyft app to hail a ride in nuTonomy’s self-driving electric Renault around a limited portion of the Seaport, where nuTonomy has been testing three vehicles since November 2016.

Colorado passed its first law to regulate self-driving vehicles to attract companies to test the technology in the state. The law allows self-driving vehicle testing as long as operators obey existing road rules.

A federal court rules the FAA’s mandatory recreational drone registration violates Section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act that Congress passed in 2012. For now, drones used for recreational purposes don’t need to be registered with the FAA, however, drones used for commercial purposes still need to be registered.

Germany passed a law that allows self-driving car tests on public roads. A human driver needs to be behind the wheel at all times, and the cars need to have a black box that tracks data in case of accidents.

The Active Pelvis Orthosis is a smart exoskeleton that recognizes in just 350 milliseconds a person has lost their balance. The exoskeleton then applies force to the hips to counterbalance the slip and prevent a fall.

EduExo is a 3D-printable, Arduino-powered kit for students, hobbyists and educators that teaches how to build exoskeletons.

Georgia becomes the latest state to legalize testing of self-driving cars on public roads. The bill won’t require humans in self-driving cars to have a valid driver’s license. However, the self-driving cars must be registered as automated vehicles with the Department of Motor Vehicles, must maintain a valid insurance policy, and follow speed limits designated by local order.

Meet the speaker lineup for the Robotics & Autonomous Vehicles Track at LiveWorx 2017, including Boston Engineering, CyPhy Works, Jibo, MIT, Soft Robotics, Vecna, WPI and more.

Tesla has updated Autopilot 2.0, increasing Autosteer’s speed limit on highways to 90 MPH and removing the speed limit during off-highway driving.

Montreal-based AI startup Lyrebird has created voice imitation technology that can “copy the voice of anyone” after listening to just 60 seconds of audio. Lyrebird wants to use the technology for good reasons, but it’s easy to imagine the technology being used to create false recordings of people.

The TurtleBot 2i, a modular ROS-based robot powered by Intel Joule, enables the development of next-gen advanced robots.

This 3D-printed robot teapot includes four servos, two in its hips and two in its ankles, to dance to the music it plays.

The University of Twente has built a mini robot cheetah in hope of replicating its movements to improve how legged robots move.

The audit, which will begin in April 2017, will assess both the processes for granting waivers and its “risk-based oversight” for entities that do have waivers under the Part 107 rulemaking for commercial drone operations.

It is the second time in 2017 an AI program beat competitive poker players.

Yelp Eat24 is testing Marble’s delivery robots in two San Francisco neighborhoods. Marble’s delivery robots are over four feet tall, travel 3-4 MPH and hold up to four grocery bags at a time.

Honda is bringing its robot lawn mowers to backyards in the United States starting in June 2017. Honda introduced two Miimo robot lawn mowers that will be available at select dealerships nationwide, excluding California.

MegaBots says the long-awaited giant robot fight between its Mk. III and Team Japan’s KURATAS will take place in August 2017. The location of the giant robot fight isn’t being released to ensure no further delays.

Researchers at Stanford University show how an advanced form of machine learning called “one-shot learning” can be used to solve problems in drug discovery.

A look at the week’s best robotics videos for your weekend viewing pleasure, including Mark Rober’s Automatic Bullseye Dartboard and Amazon’s MARS Conference.

A liquid-handling Lego robot from Stanford University helps students and teachers create inexpensive automated systems to do biology experiments. Modern biology labs often use robotic assemblies to drop precise amounts of fluids into experimental containers.
