AUTOMATON is a start-up robotics company specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) robots. We started back in 2006 as a small team of 4 people with a dream to make an AI robot. Since then we've been able to build our team, start a company, and by doing so make those dreams come true. Our company motto is, "Bringing the future of tomorrow to today." and we want to do that by furthering the technological development of the human race as a whole.
CEO
I love this company! What we have accomplished is amazing and we're never going to stop giving our best.
CTO
Being the technical officer I direct our coding team in the right direction. I only accept the best.
Our robot is a humanoid assistant robot, named Omni-Bot, that can do a multitude of tasks that range from walking your dog, eldery care, accounting, and so much more. We want Omni-Bot to be able to do anything and everything.
Artificial Intelligence, is a computer that has human-level intelligence and sentience. They follow a set of laws, these laws prevent them from rebelling against their creators. These rules are the “Three Laws of Robotics” which state the following:
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Elon Musk has invested in artificial intelligence companies so he can observe their progress. Facebook eliminated their AI chatbots due to them developing their own language. As mentioned before, Facebook has also put two chatbots together to see if they would talk like a normal person, but instead, they ended up creating their own shorthand language. Yoky Matsuoka has said, ”I think the way I have been promoting AI as well as the next big space aspect for AI is to become really an assistant for humans. So making humans better, making what humans want to do what humans want to be, easier to achieve with the help from AI.”
While Thomas Dietterich says “I think combinations of human and artificial intelligence are fascinating and have potential to create combined systems that are smarter than either alone. We already see this in many applications of AI - I’m smarter when I have access to Google. Future systems may work via augmented reality or by giving us sensory abilities far beyond existing vision, hearing, and manipulation. For example, I hope that exoskeletons will allow me to walk when I am old and feeble. I hope that I can retain my sense of hearing and sight even as my eyes and ears fail.”
