Tech Xplore / Future-aware AI doubles robot speed in pick-and-place tasks
A new method developed by MIT researchers makes robots better at thinking ahead while they are acting, leading to smoother motions and quicker reactions. The research is published on the arXiv preprint server.
Tech Xplore / Computer scientists design a cyberattack to prevent cyberattacks
Protecting sensitive, precision-timed computing systems requires understanding the nature of cyberthreats. So researchers from Washington State University teamed up with experts at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs ...
Tech Xplore / Reconfigurable AI device preserves long-term memory while acoustic waves reset short-term signals
A research team led by professor Il Jeon of the Department of Nano Engineering and the Sungkyunkwan Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology (SAINT) at Sungkyunkwan University, including Dr. Sihyeok Kim and Dr. Jang Woo Lee, ...
Tech Xplore / How rewarding better consumer choices could advance next-gen queueing platforms
Improving how crowdsourced information is shared across mobile platforms by incorporating a user penalty-and-reward system could curb long lines caused by inefficient human queuing behavior, a new study suggests.
Tech Xplore / Melt it, spin it, use it again. This new recyclable yarn is as strong and stretchy as spandex-based yarns
After a closet cleanout, what options are there for recycling our old threads? Not many. Apart from bringing used clothes to a donation center, there is no process for recycling textiles like there is for bottles and cans. ...
Tech Xplore / Genesis chip may help AI with its memory problem
One of artificial intelligence's most stubborn problems is enabling AI systems to accumulate new knowledge without losing what they previously learned. A team of researchers at the MATRIX AI Consortium at The University of ...
Tech Xplore / AI gains a tool to identify Kinyarwanda propaganda, with promise for 600 Bantu languages
A new study led by Fabrice Niyigaba '27 reports the first digital tool for identifying online propaganda in Kinyarwanda, the national language of Rwanda's 15 million people—and possibly the first for any of the Bantu languages ...
Tech Xplore / Are gas turbines ready for the hydrogen economy?
Can we fuel gas turbines with hydrogen instead of fossil fuels and cut 15% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions? Gas turbines generate around 22% of the world's electricity. Replacing fossil fuels is a key step toward ...
Tech Xplore / AI underwater robots can now track diver stress via exhaled bubbles
University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind AI system that allows underwater companion robots to monitor a diver's health in real time simply by "watching" their exhaled bubbles.
Tech Xplore / Inspired by how children learn, new AI framework learns to theorize the world from observations
A KAIST research team has developed a next-generation world model, an internal model an AI builds to understand and predict the world, that learns executable theories from observation alone.
Tech Xplore / New tool identifies the sources of fake videos
Artificial intelligence can generate videos so realistic that distinguishing them from authentic footage is becoming increasingly difficult. But a computer science team led by researchers at UC Riverside has developed a tool ...
Tech Xplore / Faster fracture tests offer path to more sustainable material choices
Recycled materials promise a cleaner future, but recycled content alone does not necessarily make a product sustainable. At Georgia Tech's Daedalus Lab, assistant professor Christos Athanasiou and postdoctoral researcher ...
