New partners & computer vision applications will enhance JOYCE’s capabilities.
Immervision and hanson robotics announce sophia the robot will soon have a new sister called joyce
Immervision announced a new partner for JOYCE, the world’s first humanoid robot to unite the computer vision community. Hanson Robotics Limited, the creator of Humanoid robot Sophia the Robot will work with Immervision’s JOYCE to further evolve machine perception to help deliver human-like vision & beyond.
Hanson Robotics Tweet this :-Hanson Robotics will use its expertise to make a humanoid body for JOYCE.New humanoid Robots will use a visible cortex supported Immervision’s panomorphEYE, which boasts three ultra-wide-angle panomorph cameras. Sophia also will be upgraded with an equivalent visual area .
“We are very excited to be partnering with Immervision on the JOYCE project,” said David Hanson, chief executive officer (CEO) of Hanson Robotics. “I believe that strong computer vision like Immervision’s products, combined with embodied cognition of a social robot like Sophia & her little sister JOYCE, will produce in huge leaps forward in useful [AI] Artificial Intelligence robotics”.
“The technology created & implemented in Sophia really illustrates how advanced Hanson Robotics is,Collaborating with David Hanson’s talented team, we will integrate innovative third-party computer vision technologies into JOYCE & enable exciting new use cases.”said Pascale Nini, chief executive officer (CEO) of Immervision.
Immervision is actively seeking additional members from to hitch the JOYCE partnership. To facilitate this collaboration, Immervision will be making a development kit available to developers, universities, & technology companies. This kits will allow partners in the JOYCE program to add additional sensors, software & artificial intelligence algorithms to enhance JOYCE’s perception & understanding of her environment to solve computer vision challenges.
Equipping machines with human-level perception, especially vision, will have a huge economic impact across a good range of industries. Immervision encourages the computer vision community to become collaborators in the JOYCE partnership, to use their technologies to upgrade JOYCE & to reap the benefits of an exciting future. Immervision may be a machine vision company dedicated to enabling machines to exceed human vision, thereby unlocking the complete potential of artificial intelligence.
