Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed an intelligent humanoid robot that can remember your name and face. The robot "Nadine" runs on software similar to that of Siri and functions as a receptionist at the university.
They also came up with a new tele-presence robot that serves as a way to be "physically" present in a place without actually being there. EDGAR, the name of this robot, mimics the movements a user makes with their upper body and can be controlled via webcam. Reminds me of the time Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory controlled a robot with a monitor attached to it, honestly. Whether or not this technology is actually useful in everyday life has yet to be seen, but at the very least this is great progression for AI industry.

Note: The FRC kick off is this Saturday, so the build season for the next competition will start soon. I will be working in the mechanical engineering department for my school, so there will be posts in the future about my work there!
