CEO Of Robotics Corporation Tells Sobbing Andrew Yang That He Was His Greatest Creation – The Onion
Posted: February 16, 2020 at 7:52 pm
WASHINGTONStroking his hair as the former presidential candidate fell to his knees in despair, Professor Elijah Tresswell, CEO of Tresswell Robotics, reportedly told a sobbing Andrew Yang Wednesday that he was his greatest creation. I understand that this must be quite a shock to you, Andrew, but all your memories from your life before the campaign were simply constructed narratives implanted into your neural processor, said Tresswell, urging Yang to take pride in the tremendous technological advances that hed helped bring into existence. Ive watched you with such delight as, with each presidential debate, you became more sophisticated, more emotive, more human. Dont fret, my sweet Andrew, for though you failed to become the nominee, you have achieved something far greater, my son. At press time, an anguished Yang had reportedly crushed Tresswells skull with his bare hands before fleeing through the rain-drenched streets of D.C.

Love or hate Giants Marty, more robots are coming to supermarkets near you – pennlive.com
Posted: at 7:52 pm
Thanks for joining todays PennLive live discussion. You can share your thoughts, opinions and comments in this pre-moderated discussion. Comments will begin appearing at 11 a.m., when the live chat begins. Please continue to follow the community rules and stay on topic.
Central Pa.s most well-known robot is celebrating a milestone.
It has been more than one year since Giant Food Stores started its nationwide rollout of Marty at 177 stores.
Standing 6-foot-4, the slender, slow-moving employee glides around the chains stores checking for spills and safety hazards.
He has become a celebrity. Kids love him and several Facebook pages are dedicated to him. Last fall Marty even inspired a pet shop tortoises Halloween costume.
Some shoppers greet the googly-eyed robot or snap selfies with him. Others appear annoyed or agitated as they attempt to navigate their shopping carts around him.

On a recent PennLive Facebook post, reactions to Marty ranged from affection to animosity.
I think hes adorable. And if he gets in your way, its only momentarily and not enough to ruin the shopping experience, wrote Mary Katherine.
So creepy! I feel uncomfortable shopping when its roaming, chimed in Elisa Cannaday.
Other responses bordered on comical like this one from Heather Slaughter McGrath Lawless: The perfect man good listener always on the look out .. children love him Is he single?
Shopper Faith Marie shared this story on the post: He scared me the other day and I thought maybe be could understand me. I asked where the kidney beans were and he turned and I started to follow him. I looked closer and saw that he was merely cleaning the store. I thought man the blind leading the blind.
It wasnt too long ago robots seemed futuristic, something out of a sci-fi movie. Now, the roving machines are as common at grocery stores as self-checkouts and shopper club cards. But the technology is raising concerns over privacy and job security.
Today its a little Twilight Zone, said Jeff Metzger, president and publisher of Food Trade News, a grocery industry publication.
A growing force
Last year, Giants parent company Ahold Delhaize USA, deployed Marty at some Martins and Stop & Shop locations, raising the ranks to more than 500 machines. Ahold said the technology is designed to improve in-store efficiencies, eliminate accidents and free up employees to better serve customers.
Giant spokeswoman Ashley Flowers said Giant has no additional plans at this time for Marty. Giant has said in the past its robots are not intended to replace workers.
Marty is not the only robot patrolling grocery aisles.
Walmart unleashed automated floor scrubbers at 1,500 stores and has 350 Bossa Nova shelf-scanning robots in action, with plans to expand the fleet to 1,000 by this summer. The chain has also implemented high-tech pickup towers, an oversized vending machine that allows shoppers to pick up online orders.
All three of the technologies are used at Walmart in Carlisle. There the robot maneuvers around the aisles scanning shelf tags for out of stock and low inventory items. He catches the attention of some shoppers who do double-takes or try and talk to the machine. For the most part, shoppers leave it alone.

When it first came in a lot of (customers) thought was was really cool. For now, its almost commonplace, said Thomas Herd, store manager.
On the West Coast, Simbe Robotics in San Francisco has deployed Tally, a slender 5-foot tall robot at 15 St. Louis-based Schnuck Markets. The robot is also being tested as part of a pilot program at Giant Eagle stores in Pittsburgh and parts of Ohio.

Tally is equipped with sensors and cameras to track inventory and incorrect prices. The robots traverse the aisles several times per day, scanning about 35,000 products in the center store grocery and health, care and beauty aisles, according to the company.
In the case of Giant Eagles pilot, Tally sends detailed data reports to store teams every 30 minutes. The reports capture, report and analyze the availability and state of merchandise.
Technology like automation can help the store teams much like a power tool to a carpenter helps them be more efficient, said Brad Bogolea, Simbes CEO and co-founder.
Tracking inventory can be a major undertaking for retailers who risk lost profits and customers when products are missing from shelves. According to the IHL Group, retailers lose up $1.75 trillion annually due to the cost of overstocks, out-of-stocks and needless returns.
Thats a big deal for retailers, especially with competition from Amazon. At least one-quarter of Amazons revenue, Bogolea said, comes from customers who went to a store and couldnt find what they were looking for.
In the end, the robots help shoppers find what they need and also free up employees to focus on customer service and more meaningful tasks, instead of stock checks, which can be mundane or monotonous.
But the devices might be backfiring. Some Walmart workers told the Washington Post the robots make them feel more like machines. Workers at one of the stores in Georgia said the robots have suffered breakdowns, needed retraining and have taken wrong routes around the store.
Some also feel like their most important assignment now is to train and babysit the often inscrutable robot colleagues, according to the story.
Carlisles Herd said they havent encountered any issues at his store and the robots have saved countless hours of work once done by a handful of employees. Those workers are now directed to other tasks like stocking shelves, he said, adding no employees have lost their jobs because of the robots.
"Its here to make our jobs more efficient, to better serve customers, Herd said.
Are they spies?
For shoppers, their first encounter with these robots is often at the supermarket.
At times, it can be hard to coexist. Constant beeping and blocking aisles were among the top complaints named on the PennLive Facebook post. Some said they think the machines are spies recording their every move as they buy breakfast cereal, spaghetti sauce and frozen green beans.
There is some skepticism associated with the robots that ranges from shoppers questioning grocers investments to how the robots are being used to whether employees will be out of jobs, said Charles Palmer, associate professor of interactive media at Harrisburg University in Harrisburg.
There will be those type of complaints. We see that with all types of technology unveiled. It takes the general public a while to get used to it, he said.
Simbes Bogolea said introducing automation can be a bit of a process when you consider that physical retail hasnt changed much since the arrival of the bar code and cash registers.
Most of what people know about robots today ... is what they see in the movies or they may have a vacuum cleaning robot at home, he said.
The grocers Bogoleas company partners with educate employees and emphasize the value of the robots to employees and shoppers. Signs in the stores explain the robots.
Giants Marty robots are affixed with signs explaining the machines are autonomous and designed to check floors for hazards. Harrisburg Universitys Palmer said the robots are personalized with the googly eyes and name tags for a reason.
With a personality, the robots pose less of a threat to shoppers, he said.
As far as any notion the robots are spying on you as you shop, Bogolea said the sensor data used for Tallys navigation is similar to a Tetris or Minecraft game and not designed for security or customer analytics.
When Tally navigates around customers, those sensors stop capturing shelf data for privacy reasons, he added.
I think the way we have designed the robot, Im surprised how seamlessly it blends into the space, and its surprising how many people dont notice it, he said.
The future
Robots are here to stay. In fact, many say the technology has far-reaching applications.
Increasingly, technology has become a significant part of retailers budgets and uses will likely expand to warehouses and grocery delivery and pickup facilities, Metzger said.
Online grocery shopping now accounts for more than six percent of grocery-related spending in the United States, according to Bricks Meets Clicks.
The novelty aspect significantly outstrips the potential they have for interior applications, he said.
Wegmans said it has no plans to involve robots in its stores. Weis Markets said it is examining various technologies, including cloud-based systems, but hasnt come to a decision, said spokesman Dennis Curtin.
Harrisburg Universitys Palmer said robots like Marty are harbingers, providing ideas about how the technology can be used. He said shoppers can expect more mobile applications linked to cell phones such as ones that might help them find items on their grocery lists.
Eventually, the robots might have capabilities to detect whether certain produce like avocados are rotting so the items can be pulled from the shelf, Bogolea said. But he said the robots will likely never have arms or interact directly with shoppers.
When it comes to picking products, we shouldnt underestimate how good human design and vision is. ... I dont think shoppers are really interested in a retail shopping experience with a large number of robots across the physical store, he said.

>> WELCOME TO NEW HAMPSHIRE'S BUSINESS, I'M FRED KOCUR. WORK OF THE FUTURE. LET'S GO TO THE GRAPHIC AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN. IN 2018, THE PEW RESEARCH CENTER FOUND BETWEEN 65 AND 90% OF THOSE SURVEYED IN ADVANCED ECONOMIES BELIEVE THAT ROBOTS AND COMPUTERS WILL PROBABLY OR DEFINITELY TAKE OVER MANY JOBS NOW DONE BY HUMANS AND THIS IS A SUBJECT THAT IS NOW THE PROCESS, IN THE PROCESS OF BEING LOOKED AT BY A TASK FORCE AT MIT AND THE HEAD OF THAT TASK FORCE IS WITH ME AS MY GUEST. ELIZABETH REYNOLDS THE TASK FORCE ON WORK OF THE FUTURE. NICE TO HAVE YOU HERE. >> WONDERFUL. >> WHAT IS THE THING THAT BROUGHT THIS TASK FORCE ABOUT? >> WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF ANXIETY AND UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE FUTURE OF WORK BECAUSE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES THAT HAVE COME ONLINE, AI, ROBOTICS, ET CETERA. SO THE FAST FORCE IS LOOKING AT THE CHANGING NATURE OF WORK, SKILLS REQUIRED TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO ENSURE SHARED PROSPERITY GOING FORWARD. >> TWO OF THE VARIABLES ARE ON THE GRAPH. LET'S GO TO THE FIRST ONE. THIS GRAPH, LOOK AT THE LINES, THE WORKING AGE SHARE OF THE U.S. POPULATION IS CONTRACTING AND GOING DOWN. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? >> RIGHT, BASICALLY WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR WORKING AGE POPULATION FROM 1980 TO PROJECTED 24. AT THE TOP LINE USED TO HAVE A HIGHER SHARE OF WORKING AGE POPULATION AND LOWER SHARE OF SENIORS, ADULT POPULATION, AND NOW, THE RED LINE IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A FEW DECADES AND THAT'S WHERE IT'S A BIT CONCERNING, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY INCREASING OUR RETIRED AGE OF THE POPULATION, DECREASING OUR WORKING AGE POPULATION AND WHAT WE SEE GOING FORWARD IS REALLY A SCARCITY OF WORKERS, NOT AN ABUNDANCE OF JOBS. >> YEAH, YEAH, AND THAT'S CONCERNING. WE'RE ALREADY SEEING THE BEGINNINGS OF THAT WITH BUSINESSES LOOKING FOR EMPLOYEES RIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD. NOW, LET'S GO TO THE NEXT GRAPHIC AND THIS ONE IS THE CHANGE IN LABOR PRODUCTIVITY AND COMPENSATION BETWEEN 1948 AND 2018 AND THAT TOP LINE AND THE MIDDLE LINE, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? >> THE TOP LINES SHOW US THAT ESSENTIALLY SINCE 1980, WE'VE HAD THIS DIVERGENCE BETWEEN GROWING PRODUCTIVITY AND THE TWO BOTTOM LINES, MEDIAN WORKER COMPENSATION AND REALLY, WHAT WORKERS WHO AREN'T FOUR-YEAR EDUCATED, WHO AREN'T IN A SUPERVISORY ROLE AND THAT'S WHERE WE SEE THE STAGNATION OF WAGES ACROSS THE BOARD. IF YOU'RE AN AVERAGE WORKER, THAT TOP LINE IS TRACKING PRODUCTIVITY, BUT THE AVERAGE IS INCLUDING HIGHER EDUCATED WORKERS. OUR LOWER AND MODERATE EDUCATED WORKERS HAVE REALLY BEEN SUFFERING FROM STAGNANT WAGES FOR 40 YEARS. >> HAS YOUR TASK FORCE DECIDED WHAT WE NEED TO DO ABOUT THIS? >> WELL, WE CERTAINLY HAVE SUGGESTIONS. NO QUESTION, EVERYBODY IS FOCUSED ON WORK FORCE SKILLS AND TRAINING, WHAT WE NEED FOR EDUCATION AND PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE MOST VULNERABLE, WHICH IS FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO SAY TWO YEAR DEGREES AND SO WE'RE VERY FOCUSED HOW DO WE TRAIN FOR THOSE JOBS, MEDIAN WORKERS AND WE THINK THERE'S A LOT FOR INVESTMENT. R AND D TAX CREDITS AND OTHER WAYS. WE NEED TO DO MORE FOR INVESTING IN HUMANS AND BUILDING OUR OWN CAPABILITIES. >> AND THE TECHNOLOGY IS REPLACING JOBS, TECHNOLOGY IS ALSO CREATING JOBS SO THE CHALLENGE, I ASSUME, IS HOW TO DRAIN PEOPLE FOR THOSE JOBS. >> THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S ALWAYS DONE THAT. WE'VE HAD BOTH OF THOSE. IT DOES OBVIOUSLY GET RID OF JOBS, BUT CREATES NEW JOBS. AND THE CHALLENGE FOR US IS NOT GOING TO BE WILL WE HAVE ENOUGH JOBS, THE CHALLENGE IS GOING TO BE, WHAT'S THE QUALITY OF THE JOBS.

U.S. companies cut back on installing robots in 2019 – Reuters
Posted: at 7:52 pm
(Reuters) - The robot invasion slowed a bit last year.

U.S. companies installed fewer robots in 2019 than they did the year before, the first cut back since 2015, as a downturn in manufacturing fueled by trade wars and weaker demand dampened appetite for the machines.
Shipments fell to 23,758, a more than 16% drop, according to data seen by Reuters that was set for release on Tuesday by the Association for Advancing Automation, an industry group based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Robot shipments also fell in Mexico last year, declining 25% to 3,263, while shipments in Canada roughly held steady at just over 3,000 units.
(GRAPHIC: Robot shipments slowed last year, here)
A major goal of President Donald Trump has been to drive manufacturers to bring work back to the United States, presumably aided by new automation and robotics that would allow domestic plants to compete with cheaper labor in China and other lower-cost countries. But that trend appears to have been overwhelmed by a larger slowdown in manufacturing.
Alexander Shikany, vice president of the Association for Advancing Automation, said the slowdown is likely to be short lived. Orders for new robots in North America, a separate measure that gives a sense of how many machines will be installed in future months, increased last year by 1.6% to 29,988 units, Shikany noted.
The largest driver of that growth was a more than 50% jump in orders from automakers, which Shikany said were making robots part of their investment in the next wave of automotive technology.
No. 1 U.S. automaker General Motors Co (GM.N), for example, recently announced it was investing $2.2 billion to build electric trucks and autonomous electric vehicles at its Detroit-area plant in Hamtramck, Michigan.
Hytrol Conveyor Co Inc, a privately held company in Jonesboro, Arkansas, that produces conveyor belts and had sales last year of over $200 million, did not cut back on robot installations in 2019. With demand from e-commerce businesses and other warehouse operations booming, the company spent $1.9 million last year to help automate its assembly line.
David Peacock, the companys president, said the company realized three years ago it would have trouble keeping up with demand growth without more robots.
The investments have not cut jobs. Headcount at Hytrol Conveyors factory has increased 18% over the past three years to 1,300 workers. Revenues, meanwhile, are up nearly a quarter.

Even the robots are feeling romantic this week at Amazon, as the tech giant shows a little love for Valentines Day and employees who have made a human connection at work.
In a new video and blog post on Tuesday, Amazon promoted how associates across the globe have found their perfect partner while working in Amazon fulfillment centers, logistics facilities, and customer service centers.
An Amazon Scout delivery robot presents a card to an Amazon Robotics device that says, Will you be my Valentine? and the two machines go on a date. They dine on spaghetti and meatballs; they share popcorn at a movie; and they have a quiet moment overlooking a water view.
The Scout is a six-wheeled, cooler-sized, autonomous package delivery robot which first debuted during a test north of Seattle last year.

Benefits of Table Games and Video Poker – Programming Insider

Poker is the most popular gambling game of all categories. Poker has had an iron grip on gamblers ever since the end of the 19th century. Other games have had their golden ages but have slowly disappeared from the big scenes, but the poker banner always swings high. It is partly the fact that there are so many different variants of poker, and partly that the poker has a nice mix of skill and luck that makes this game so fascinating. One cannot win in poker solely on skill, nor on luck. However, of course, a good poker player in the long run always wins over a player who relies on the tour.
Online casino games can to a large extent be divided into three groups slots, table games and video poker. Online slots are by far the most popular of the games and therefore they are focused on online gaming software providers. There are reasons for the popularity of online slots. The first is that these games, especially the progressive slot machines, offer the chance to win sick boggling sums with small bets. Secondly, they use sound and visual special effects to transport the player to another plane. Therefore, new players first lead to the slot machine and get stuck on them.
But there are very compelling reasons for new players to try table games such as blackjack, roulette and craps and the video games as well. The first reason is that the slot machine offers the lowest average payout rates for all online casino games. Despite the fact that players sometimes win huge jackpots, the length of every $ 100 wagered on slot machines only comes back about $ 95. The payout percentage in other games is much higher. In games like blackjack and video poker players you can get back $ 99 for every $ 100 wagered. Therefore, it is important that new players learn to play other games so that they can balance their bets productively.
In country casinos, slot machines are designed for those who come with the real players, so they can cope with the time while their friends or spouses play on live tables. If online gamblers play only sots then they will never have the courage to sit at live tables in country casinos. But if they practice and play the other games in online casinos, they will be better equipped when they visit country casinos.
Online slot machines do not need any kind of skill. The players decide how many lines and coins to choose and the coin size as well, but these are trivial decisions and do not affect the chances of winning. On the other hand, online games like blackjack and video poker need real skill. How to play video poker is not easy matter but it can be studied. Good blackjack players will fare better than the poor. As new players acquire these skills, they will see their winnings increase and realize that they have greater control over their destiny. But for this, they have to go through the trial period to learn the game and make the strategy perfect.
Most new online players avoid this learning process for fear of losing money during it. They are under a misconception. Almost all online casinos allow players to play for fun. This allows them to play with free credits without making any investments. The winnings are obviously not payable but the goal is to learn and not win. All Microgaming and most Wizard Gaming-powered online casinos go a step further. Online players do not even need to register at these casinos to play for free. They can only access the online casino site and start playing.

Poker players love playing pot-limit Omaha (PLO) for the action it brings. Having four hole cards instead of holdems two really drives the action.
The fact equities in PLO pots are much closer than their Texas holdem cousins is another factor in why PLO is an action game. Youll often find yourself essentially flipping a coin as to whether you scoop the pot or are topping up your stack.
Online poker has seen some massive PLO cash game pots won and lost over the years. Full Tilt was the place for nosebleed PLO action. In fact, all five of the huge posts were about to look at stem from there.
Perhaps with the introduction of six-card Omaha, PokerStars can take over that mantle?
$1,356,947 - just wow! holds the record for the largest online cash game pot ever won at an incredible $1,356,947. Amazingly, Antonius won this mammoth-sized pot as a 54.63% favorite!
The hand started with Viktor Blom opening to $3,000 with and Antonius three-betting to $9,000 with . Blom responded with a four-bet to $27,000 before calling when Antonius made it $81,000 preflop!
A flop reading gifted Antonius a straight and with $162,000 already in the pot, Antonius led for $91,000. Blom raised to $435,000, Antonius set the price to play at $870,000 and Blom called off his remaining $163,000 stack.
The turn was joined by the river and the biggest-ever PLO cash game pot landed in Antonius lap.

Blom found himself winning a seven-figure pot only a couple of days after losing the record pot to Antonius.
This time, Phil Ivey and Blom locked horns at $500/$1,000 PLO. Ivey opened to $3,000, Blom three-bet to $9,000 and Ivey re-raised to $27,000, a bet Blom called.
Both players checked the flop before Ivey led for $41,000 into the $54,000 pot on the turn. Blom stuck in a raise to $177,000 that Ivey called.
Ivey checked on the river only to see Blom bet $408,000 and Ivey called off his last $359,977. Ivey mucked his hand as Blom flipped over for a flopped full house.
The third-largest PLO pot was lost by that man Blom and, again, to Antonius.
An all-familiar raise to $3,000 came in from Blom and Antonius called. Antonius check-raised Bloms $5,000 continuation bet to $21,000 on the flop. Blom called.
Antonius took up the role of aggressor on the turn, betting $48,000. Blom responded with a $192,000 raise, which Antonius jammed on for $416,479. Blom called and showed against the of Antonius.
A split pot was the most likely scenario, approximately 62.5% chance, but that never happened because the river completed a straight for Antonius!
Ivey and Blom contested the fourth-largest online cash game pot and, again, it was at the heads-up PLO tables.
A brief raising war resulted in $54,000 being in the middle before the flop fell . Ivey initially checked, Blom bet $42,000 before Ivey leapt into life with a check-raise to $180,000. Blom shoved for $389,470 and Ivey called.
It was for Blom and for Ivey. The turn missed both players but the river gifted Ivey a flush and a huge pot.
Blom clashed with Ivey for the fifth-largest online cash game pot. Amazingly, this hand happened 90-minutes before the one above; what a swingy battle that must have been.
An all-too-typical raise to $3,000 from Ivey was three-bet to $9,000 by Blom and an Ivey call. Blom tested the waters with a $15,000 bet on the flop and received a call. The turn lit the blue touch paper.
First, Blom bet $42,0000 and Ivey raised to $157,000. Blom pushed all-in for $389,980 and Ivey called. Ivey revealed the for a straight and Blom held .
Blom only had 20% equity in the hand, but that was realised when the completed the board and scooped him the pot.
