Nothing changed about this robot itself — what you can see is the field shifting around it, or its maker's news rising and ageing.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 12 Sept, taken against 69 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.

Overview

RoboBrain is a large-scale computational system that learns from publicly available Internet resources, computer simulations, and real-life robot trials. It accumulates everything robotics into a comprehensive and interconnected knowledge base. Applications include prototyping for robotics research, household robots, and self-driving cars. The goal is as direct as the project's name—to create a centralised, always-online brain for robots to tap into.
