Technology tamfitronics In a lab at Melbourne University, a robotic arm grips a stubby and precisely pours a beer into a glass repeatedly with unerring accuracy.It is not a gimmick, but a robot designed to function in outer space where there is no gravity.The arm is also an example of artificial intelligence (AI) at work.The scientists behind this innovation are part of NASA's global team, whose work includes cultivating plants for future, long-term space missions.Their focus may be mostly on distant horizons, but AI is hurtling into our lives here on Earth.Melbourne University Associate Professor Sigfredo Fuentes said Australian agriculture was one of the fastest adopters of AI."Artificial intelligence is a whole discipline based on new digital technologies to acquire data," he said."They are basically mathematical models, the machine acquires the data, finds the...
