Open AI rang in the new year with a major announcement: two new revolutionary pieces of research: 1)DALL-E which can generate images from text, and 2)CLIP which provides a one-shot image classification approach without the requirement of training a model. …

Why? For most of my career, I have been an engineer solely focused on the performance aspects of computer operating systems. Three years ago, I started driving an analytics and AI intensive feature for an emerging product at my current employer. Learning the subtleties of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was an…

As many of you know, I am an avid robotics enthusiast. I own Anki robots: Cozmo and Vector as well as the Bittle robot by OpenPetoi. Many of you may know me as the creator of ‘Learn AI with a robot’ to make learning AI simple. Over the last 2…

One of the few successes that Anki robots, Vector and Cozmo, (now owned by Digital Dream Labs) have had is in the exploration of Human Robot Interaction (HRI). HRI is a multi-discliplinary research field that explores how humans perceive robots and interact with them. This is a very important research…

I am a proud father of a new programmable robot, a pet dog Bittle. Bittle is the second robot made by Petoi, and a successor to Nybble. While Anki Vector (now owned by DDL) is a great programable robot for Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tasks such as perception, path planning…

Social networks has never been my thing. I am inactive on Facebook, and don’t have an Instagram account. But I enjoy Twitter, mainly for…

In my last article, we examined how OpenAI CLIP can classify an image amongst multiple options of provided text (prompts) using a pre-trained model; thus providing the ability of zero shot image classification. We have also examined how Roboflow.ai …

One of the most popular videos in my YouTube channel is an illustration of how one can draw on Cozmo’s face by simply moving the cube around. The program is simple to write using the Cozmo Codelab. But there are very important concepts to learn here. One of the most…

In my previous post, I discussed how Roboflow.com features the Anki Vector public dataset, which can be used to train the Vector too recognize another Vector using the Anki Vector SDK. This post captures how you can add your own images to the dataset, and build your own dataset. More…
