Tech Xplore / New AI fitness coach explains bad form in real time to help prevent injuries
As any athlete will tell you, perfect practice makes perfect. But for individuals who do not have regular access to coaches or trainers, maintaining good form can be tricky. In fact, during the COVID-19 pandemic when many ...
Tech Xplore / 'Baked' yeast-based materials power 3D-printed architectural materials
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a new, entirely bio-based material from a somewhat unexpected ingredient: yeast. The material is 3D printed and customized for use in architectural ...
Tech Xplore / Real-time X-ray compression shrinks file size by 8,000 times
Researchers led by Takaki Hatsui at the RIKEN SPring-8 Center (RSC) in Japan and collaborators have developed a new approach to compressing X-ray imaging data in real time, reducing the size of data files by more than 8,000 ...
Tech Xplore / Finding the best ways for humans and robots to work together requires 'swarm' thinking
If the future of warehouse work belongs to humans and robots working side by side, a key question remains: What is the most effective way for them to collaborate?
Tech Xplore / Consistency, not complexity, is the key to teaching robots dexterity, new research suggests
Teaching robots to manipulate objects with humanlike dexterity has long been one of robotics' toughest challenges. Tasks such as rotating an object in-hand or coordinating two robot arms to maneuver a bulky item require constant ...
Tech Xplore / ChartNet trains AI to read charts, boosting smaller models past commercial rivals
To accelerate and refine decision-making in a fast-paced, global marketplace, enterprises may deploy generative artificial intelligence models to help summarize and interpret the charts that often fill market summaries and ...
Tech Xplore / 100kW fully superconducting aviation motor developed for electrical aircraft
Researchers at a Scottish university have demonstrated a 100kW fully superconducting aviation motor that could help pave the way for an electric aircraft.
Tech Xplore / Ultra-thin semiconductors overcome performance limits with localized thick-contact design
As semiconductor chips become increasingly thinner, the components inside chips are locked in a fierce race to achieve the ultimate ultra-thin state. However, this has presented a structural limitation: the thinner the device, ...
Tech Xplore / AI brings object-level vision prosthetics closer to reality
EPFL researchers are developing AI models that could one day enable vision prosthetics able to restore meaningful, object-level sight for the blind. The research, from the NeuroAI Lab of Martin Schrimpf, part of EPFL's Schools ...
Tech Xplore / LLMs help robots understand vague instructions and focus on key details
Imagine working at a warehouse or office sometime in the near future, and you're asked to help a new trainee learn the basics of their job. The catch: It's a robot. To teach them, you might want to play a game of "show and ...
Tech Xplore / New 3D gaze forecasting could help AR devices render scenes before users look
Augmented reality (AR) devices like smart glasses may soon be able to predict where a user will look and provide an enhanced interactive experience.
Tech Xplore / A retention-aware system turns a computer's storage chip into a cybersecurity shield
Hackers are ruthless. They can take control of your computer, delete files and disappear without a trace. However, FIU cybersecurity researcher Weidong Zhu has discovered a way to transform a computer's storage chip into ...
