Robust AI’s Carter Pro robot is designed to work with and be moved by, humans

Robust AI has unveiled its Carter Pro warehouse robot, designed specifically for human-robot collaboration. A key feature is the ability for humans to physically move and guide the robot using a handlebar, with the robot actively sensing and adjusting to applied force. Founded by former Rethink Robotics CTO Rodney Brooks, the company prioritizes safety in human-robot interactions and uses cameras instead of lidar for navigation. DHL is their first major customer, though Brooks emphasizes they're deliberately diversifying their client base to avoid overreliance on a single customer.

O2's 'AI Granny' Takes on Phone Scammers with Endless Chatter

In a creative twist on the fight against phone fraud, O2, the UK's largest mobile network operator, has introduced a chatbot with a difference. Meet "dAIsy," an AI-powered virtual grandmother who's more than happy to spend hours discussing her cat Fluffy and her knitting projects – all while keeping phone scammers tied up in endless, fruitless conversations.

The system is a sophisticated blend of AI technologies, converting scammers' voice calls to text, processing them through a custom large language model, and generating responses via text-to-speech. Trained in part by Jim Browning, a renowned "scambait" expert with a substantial YouTube following, dAIsy represents a novel approach to tackling a serious and growing problem.

The timing couldn't be more crucial. According to FBI reports, telephone scams extracted $3.4 billion from people over 60 in the past year alone, up from $3.1 billion in 2022. With the rise of generative AI and increasingly sophisticated voice impersonation technology, these numbers are expected to increase significantly.

O2's approach is both innovative and oddly satisfying – instead of simply blocking scammers, dAIsy wastes their time, reducing the number of potential victims they can target. The chatbot's conversations, as demonstrated in O2's released audio clips, show how effective this strategy can be, with scammers becoming increasingly frustrated as their target cheerfully rambles on about her daily life.

This playful solution to a serious problem represents a new front in the battle against phone fraud, using the very AI technologies that scammers might exploit to instead protect vulnerable populations. By turning the tables on fraudsters, O2's AI Granny might just help reduce the billions lost to phone scams each year, one meandering conversation about Fluffy the cat at a time.
