Robotic AI learns to be spontaneous

There are widely sought after autonomous roles for robots, such as spontaneity. The functions of animals including humans, motivate many control mechanisms for autonomous robots. Using predefined modules and control methodologies, roboticists frequently design robot behaviors, which makes them task-specific, restricting their versatility. Researchers propose an alternative approach based on machine learning for designing random […]

Two motivational artificial beings are better than one for enhancing learning

Social rewards such as praise are known to enhance various stages of the learning process. Now, researchers from Japan have found that praise delivered by artificial beings such as robots and virtual graphics-based agents can have effects similar to praise delivered by humans, with important practical applications as social services such as education increasingly move […]

Blueprints for a cheaper single-molecule microscope

A team of scientists and students from the University of Sheffield has designed and built a specialist microscope, and shared the build instructions to help make this equipment available to many labs across the world. The microscope, called the smfBox, is capable of single-molecule measurements allowing scientists to look at one molecule at a time […]

An underwater navigation system powered by sound

PS isn’t waterproof. The navigation system depends on radio waves, which break down rapidly in liquids, including seawater. To track undersea objects like drones or whales, researchers rely on acoustic signaling. But devices that generate and send sound usually require batteries — bulky, short-lived batteries that need regular changing. Could we do without them? MIT […]

Material used in house paint can spur a revolution in technology

A challenge that has been holding back machine learning and has the potential to revolutionize technologies such as voice recognition , image processing and autonomous driving could have been unlocked by the discovery of a new method for making non-volatile computer memory. In the peer-reviewed journal Advanced Materials, a team from Sandia National Laboratories, working […]

New models for deep learning: Less neurons, more knowledge

In our daily lives, artificial intelligence has arrived — from search engines to self-driving vehicles. In recent years, this has to do with the immense computational capacity that has become available. But recent AI research findings now show that it is possible to use simpler, smaller neural networks to solve such tasks much faster, more […]

Assessing the state of the art for the treatment of brain disease in AI

Thanks to novel computational architectures that rapidly process large volumes of complex data, artificial intelligence is celebrated for its ability to solve problems that humans can not. As a consequence, AI techniques are applicable to some of the most challenging problems in science and culture, such as machine learning , computer vision, and neural networks. […]

Through the future, a robotics expert leaps

Hearing the word ‘robot’ conjures up visions of rigid, metallic structures for many individuals. When it comes to popular robots featuring in Japanese animations such as “Gundam,” “Astro Boy,” and “Mazinger Z,” as well as industrial robots working in factories, this association is strong. Nevertheless, the research of Lecturer Ryuma Niiyama concerns “soft” robots that […]

This ‘squidbot’ jets around and takes pictures of fish and coral

Engineers have designed a squid-like robot at the University of California San Diego that can swim untethered, propelling itself by creating water jets. Inside its body, the robot bears its own power source. For underwater exploration, it can also hold a sensor, such as a camera. In a recent issue of Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, the […]

The ESO telescope detects galaxies trapped in the network of a supermassive black hole.

Astronomers also discovered six galaxies lying around a supermassive black hole with the help of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of ESO when the Universe was less than a billion years old. So soon after the Big Bang, this is the first time such a similar grouping has been seen and the discovery helps us […]

Tool for predicting pedestrian flow expands its reach

When urban development takes place, a traffic impact assessment is often needed before a project is approved: What will happen to auto traffic if a new apartment building or business complex is constructed, or if a road is widened? On the other hand, new developments affect foot traffic as well — and yet few places study the effects of urban change on pedestrians.

AI Weekly: EU facial recognition ban highlights need for U.S. legislation

This week, The European Parliament, the body responsible for adopting European Union (EU) legislation, passed a non-binding resolution calling for a ban on law enforcement use of facial recognition technology in public places. The resolution, which also proposes a moratorium on the deployment of predictive policing software, would restrict the use of remote biometric identification unless it’s to fight “serious” crime, such as kidnapping and terrorism.
