Imagine hailing a dynamic shuttle whenever you need to go somewhere—and arriving faster than if you had just driven yourself. That’s the vision shared by Berkeley researchers: a world where environmentally friendly, energy-efficient high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs) are the preferred and quickest mode of transportation.Imagine hailing a dynamic shuttle whenever you need to go somewhere—and arriving faster than if you had just driven yourself.

Researchers have developed a technique that allows artificial intelligence (AI) programs to better map three-dimensional spaces using two-dimensional images captured by multiple cameras. Because the technique works effectively with limited computational resources, it holds promise for improving the navigation of autonomous vehicles.Researchers have developed a technique that allows artificial intelligence (AI) programs to better map three-dimensional spaces using two-dimensional images captured by multiple cameras.

Researchers have demonstrated a new intelligent photonic sensing-computing chip that can process, transmit and reconstruct images of a scene within nanoseconds. This advance opens the door to extremely high-speed image processing that could benefit edge intelligence for machine vision applications such as autonomous driving, industrial inspection and robotic vision.Researchers have demonstrated a new intelligent photonic sensing-computing chip that can process, transmit and reconstruct images of a scene within nanoseconds.

Clay, glass, wood, and marble are among the materials that can be sculpted, turning ordinary, three-dimensional objects into works of art. Researchers at NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences are working to bring this approach to images—through a pioneering form of sculpture that transforms 2D pictures into 3D.Clay, glass, wood, and marble are among the materials that can be sculpted, turning ordinary, three-dimensional objects into works of art.
