Tech Xplore / Eyes of tomorrow: Smart contact lenses lead the way for human-machine interaction
Scientists from Nanjing, China, have developed eye-tracking smart content lenses based on radio frequency tags that can be used for various applications, including health care and augmented reality (AR). The lenses are biocompatible ...
Tech Xplore / Cat collaboration demonstrates what it takes to trust robots
Would you trust a robot to look after your cat? New research suggests it takes more than a carefully designed robot to care for your cat, the environment in which they operate is also vital, as well as human interaction.
Tech Xplore / Just believing that an AI is helping boosts your performance, study finds
Sometimes it seems like an AI is helping, but the benefit is actually a placebo effect—people performing better simply because they expect to be doing so—according to new research from Aalto University. The study also ...
Tech Xplore / Understanding turbulence through artificial intelligence
When hearing the word turbulence, the first association that springs to mind is often the uncomfortable jostling experienced during airplane travel. However, turbulence denotes the irregular and chaotic behavior exhibited ...
