Новости проектов Илона Маска | ИИ от Apple | DARPA провела бой между ИИ и человеком | Новые роботы

Elon Musk discussed updates to key projects, including Optimus robot, and the first real air battle between AI and humans in Australia. Google has emerged with a hybrid search engine and GPT, and Apple has introduced new data on AI self-awareness with a Chinese chip. There is a surge in humanoid robots, with two new models released this week, in addition to updates to existing models. The S1 robot from a Chinese company is particularly notable for its speed and precision, able to manipulate objects up to 10 kg with a maximum movement speed of 10 m/s. The robot is said to perform tasks autonomously, although it's likely it was pre-trained for each action. Phoenix, the seventh generation of humanoid robots, can learn new tasks in under 24 hours, with improved vision and tactile sensors. The new generation also gathers high-quality behavioral data for training systems. F Robotic has presented an updated version of its robot, Fier GR1, showcasing its role as a physiotherapist. The video does not specify whether the robot is operated by an operator or AI, but it appears to be the former. The robot is capable of autonomous movement and obstacle avoidance, making it an ideal physical agent for general AI.

Chinese humanoid robots are expected to saturate the market just like Chinese electric vehicles, prompting competitors like Musk to hasten their developments. In China, a version of the Neuralink implant called 'Bionic Intelligence' has been introduced, developed by a state-owned company, which has been tested on a monkey to control a robotic arm with thoughts. Elon Musk's startup XI has attracted $6 billion in investments for the development of its new model, with investors eager to contribute. The company aims to connect the digital and physical worlds, and it will collect training data from all companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company, and Neuralink. The Optimus robot is expected to be available for sale starting in 2025, and Tesla's humanoid robots could start working by the end of this year. Musk has also found a way to halt the fall and even raise Tesla's stock price by 15% by promising to launch a new budget car costing $25,000 by the end of the year. Tesla is also close to sealing a deal to sell its autopilot technology to a large automotive manufacturer. Additionally, Musk revealed a new robot service named Cyber Cap, which will allow Tesla owners to integrate their cars into the system and set usage rules.

Air Combat Evolution conducted the world's first air battle between F16 fighters, with one controlled by a human and the other by AI. The AI-controlled test aircraft X62 by Lockheed Martin, equipped with Block 40 avionics and modifications allowing AI use, represents a shift towards AI in the 21st century. The DAPA program aims to replace traditional development methods in the aerospace industry with machine learning. In Australia, the Ghost Shark, a large autonomous submarine, is being developed to conduct covert autonomous underwater warfare with capabilities for long-range reconnaissance, observation, and strikes. Apple seems ready to enter not only the robot race but also the AI race, with plans to introduce a smart and versatile home robot, although the timeline is not yet announced. Apple has released a series of small language models called Open ELM, designed to work on user devices without the need for cloud server connectivity. The models can generate text with minimal power consumption and without an internet connection, which is crucial for applications and users requiring confidentiality. There is also discussion about the emergence of self-awareness in AI, with experts noting that a model called CLOT 3 showed signs of consciousness and self-realization in certain tests.

Swiss engineers at ETH Zurich have been working on making their wheeled robot, Animal, a fast and agile delivery carrier. In recent tests, the robot had to navigate a complex urban landscape in Seville, showing promising results. The Arc, a model developed by the oldest producer of firefighting equipment in the US, has been equipped with a 10-meter range backpack for a dog and is intended to assist firefighters during forest fires. The Russian Post has begun testing an autonomous electric truck, EVOCargo N1, from the company EV Cargo. The truck is equipped with an autonomous driving system and a multi-sensor system based on machine learning algorithms, capable of carrying up to 2 tons of cargo and traveling up to 200 km on a single charge. Russian students from the Higher School of Economics showed excellent results at the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), with teams FF Tilted and Undertrained, Overpressure competing and achieving success, winning gold medals. The Russian Post also began testing an autonomous electric truck for potential faster and cheaper delivery services.
