Tech Xplore / Parenting a 3-year-old robot
Humans are social creatures and learn from each other, even from a young age. Infants keenly observe their parents, siblings or caregivers. They watch, imitate and replay what they see to learn skills and behaviors.
Tech Xplore / New model reduces bias and enhances trust in AI decision-making and knowledge organization
University of Waterloo researchers have developed a new explainable artificial intelligence (AI) model to reduce bias and enhance trust and accuracy in machine learning-generated decision-making and knowledge organization.
Tech Xplore / Building reliable AI models requires understanding the people behind the datasets
Social media companies are increasingly using complex algorithms and artificial intelligence to detect offensive behavior online.
Tech Xplore / A new LMR cathode that minimizes voltage decay in Li-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), rechargeable batteries that store energy by leveraging the reversible reduction of Li ions, remain among the most widely used battery technologies worldwide. These batteries power a wide range ...
Tech Xplore / Robotic sea turtle mimics uniquely adaptable gait
Sea turtles can glide majestically through ocean waters and maneuver like armored vehicles over rocks and sand on land. Their locomotive adaptability makes them particularly interesting to robotics experts, who seek to learn ...

Tech Xplore / Low-income communities in California have more fire-prone overhead power lines and flammable wooden poles
A tree killed in a climate-driven drought snaps and severs a power line. A transformer sparks. A downed live wire ignites a pile of dry leaves. Many of the country's most damaging wildfires, including California's deadly ...
Tech Xplore / Exploring the effects of feeding emotional stimuli to large language models
Since the advent of OpenAI's ChatGPT, large language models (LLMs) have become significantly popular. These models, trained on vast amounts of data, can answer written user queries in strikingly human-like ways, rapidly generating ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers trick large language models into providing prohibited responses
ChatGPT and Bard may well be key players in the digital revolution currently underway in computing, coding, medicine, education, industry and finance, but they also are capable of easily being tricked into providing subversive ...
Tech Xplore / Study explores the impact of climate change on the supply and demand of wind and solar energy
Over the past few decades, sustainable energy solutions that rely on renewable sources, particularly the sun and wind, have become increasingly advanced and widespread. Many countries worldwide have committed to drastically ...
