Remote waters are difficult to monitor. Boats can take a long time to reach them, while aircraft cannot remain there for extended periods. To close that gap, researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have developed a nature-inspired robotic platform. Released from the air, it lands on water, rights itself and then sails autonomously using wind energy.Remote waters are difficult to monitor.

A research team from the Vision and Action Laboratory, Visual Perception and Cognition Laboratory and Cognitive Neurotechnology Unit in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology, led by associate professor Hideki Tamura, has demonstrated that, even when an object moves at the same physical speed, its approach is perceived as faster when it comes from behind than when it approaches from the front.A research team from the Vision and Action Laboratory, Visual Perception and Cognition Laboratory and Cognitive Neurotechnology Unit in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology, led by associate professor Hideki Tamura, has demonstrated that, even when an object moves at the same physical speed, its approach is perceived as faster when it comes from behind than when it approaches from the front.[#item_full_content]
Let’s say you ask ChatGPT a question that stumps it, or a Waymo vehicle encounters something unusual in the road, or an autonomous factory faces an unexpected disruption. Most people would recognize that something unexpected has happened and adjust accordingly. For machines, it’s not always that simple.Let’s say you ask ChatGPT a question that stumps it, or a Waymo vehicle encounters something unusual in the road, or an autonomous factory faces an unexpected disruption.

In the production of video games and animated movies, directors and animators are constantly fine-tuning how a character’s movements should appear. In many cases, directors require subtle changes, such as making a character appear a little more restrained or a bit more expressive, and communicate subjectively how much change is needed.In the production of video games and animated movies, directors and animators are constantly fine-tuning how a character’s movements should appear.

When a conversational AI character in an immersive environment says something false, how should the system alert the user? Researchers have now explored this question in a proof-of-concept study, which tested three techniques for alerting users to hallucinated statements from “embodied” AI agents in virtual reality (VR) systems. The study is published on the arXiv preprint server.When a conversational AI character in an immersive environment says something false, how should the system alert the user?
