Imagine sitting in your home, listening to what you think is a run-of-the-mill advertisement or perhaps a piece of music you enjoy. But while you hum along, that audio file is sending a secret, malicious audio message—imperceptible to human ears—telling your home assistant to unlock your door or maybe transfer money from your bank account.Imagine sitting in your home, listening to what you think is a run-of-the-mill advertisement or perhaps a piece of music you enjoy.

A research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed an Embodied Sensorimotor Robotic Arm (EmArm) capable of whole-arm tactile sensing and adaptive manipulation. By embedding a soft optical tactile skin directly into a robotic skeleton and integrating it with a real-time decision-making algorithm, EmArm can perceive and analyze contact information across its upper and lower arms, enabling human-like tactile perception and adaptive object manipulation. The system can also distinguish between different touch interactions, such as tickling and patting, respond in real time and avoid obstacles through tactile feedback, opening new possibilities for the development of embodied intelligent robots.A research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed an Embodied Sensorimotor Robotic Arm (EmArm) capable of whole-arm tactile sensing and adaptive manipulation.

Artificial intelligence will ultimately become a key aspect of all companies, the head of AI chip giant Nvidia said during a visit to Stockholm, where he urged Europe to ramp up its AI industry.Artificial intelligence will ultimately become a key aspect of all companies, the head of AI chip giant Nvidia said during a visit to Stockholm, where he urged Europe to ramp up its AI industry.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Information about food properties that determine quality, safety and sensory characteristics is critical for food product development and processing design, but it is spread across thousands of scientific papers written over decades, making it difficult for food engineers to access and analyze data.Information about food properties that determine quality, safety and sensory characteristics is critical for food product development and processing design, but it is spread across thousands of scientific papers written over decades, making it difficult for food engineers to access and analyze data.Engineering[#item_full_content]
Some artificial intelligence agents can modify the programs and instructions governing their own work, with the goal of improving performance. These changes, however, can introduce errors, while testing unsuccessful modifications consumes resources. Researchers at the University of Virginia, Microsoft Research and Tsinghua University recently developed forecasting software that helps AI agents anticipate the consequences of proposed edits before testing the modified software.Some artificial intelligence agents can modify the programs and instructions governing their own work, with the goal of improving performance.

The Turing test was proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1950 as a way of assessing whether a machine could demonstrate humanlike intelligence. In its best-known form, a person communicates with both a human and a machine without knowing which is which and tries to identify the machine.The Turing test was proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1950 as a way of assessing whether a machine could demonstrate humanlike intelligence.

Could computers include tiny brain organoids one day? The human brain is an incredibly energy-efficient computer, and silicon processors that try to imitate it achieve huge energy savings over traditional processors. Now scientists are experimenting with using organoids modeled on the human forebrain to develop energy-efficient biohybrid computing.Could computers include tiny brain organoids one day?
