Progress and Economic Growth Intelligent machines are “hollowing out” the economy Some jobs are being lost to automation Boston Dynamics has made a robot , called Atlas Robot, that walks like a human over obstacles The Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS), also known as Canadarm (Canadarm 1), is a robotic arm that was used on the Space Shuttle orbiters

Educational Programs and Certifications At Stanford University, the Artificial Intelligence Graduate Certificate is offered Coursework available in areas such as robotics, vision, natural language processing or machine learning
