What language do robots speak with one another? Italian! Or rather, a new language has been developed that allows robots to interact and collaborate with other robots, and that language was developed by researches of IIT (Italian Institute of Technology), in Genoa. The language was first tested by making two humanoid robots work together, with one helping the other up from a sitting position. This ground-breaking development is part of a European program called An.Dy, which aims at producing a new algorithm for AI, enabling robots to communicate with humans and with each other alike. The algorithm allows the robots to exchange information effectively, working together towards shared goals. While this may look like basic dynamics from a human perspective, it is incredibly complex to apply it to a robot-to-robot interaction. The constant intermixing of cognitive and motor skills that humans develop naturally, in this instance, needs to be captured into usable equations.
