Autonomous vehicles and robots need to understand not only what is around them, but how objects and people are moving. A cyclist crossing the road, a car slowing down, a pedestrian stepping off the curb, and a parked vehicle all create different motion cues that a machine must interpret quickly and accurately.Autonomous vehicles and robots need to understand not only what is around them, but how objects and people are moving.

When an AI chatbot agrees with our reasoning in resolving a social dilemma, we may become more confident in our opinions. But when the chatbot disagrees, we may simply dismiss the challenge rather than reconsider our views. That’s according to new research from the University of Michigan examining how people respond when artificial intelligence weighs in on personal and interpersonal dilemmas.When an AI chatbot agrees with our reasoning in resolving a social dilemma, we may become more confident in our opinions.

Traffic jams are usually treated as a problem to be measured after they form. Anton Rozhkov and his colleagues are exploring a different approach: giving planners state-of-the-art tools that can anticipate congestion, locate where it is most likely to emerge and translate complex traffic models into plain-language guidance.Traffic jams are usually treated as a problem to be measured after they form.

Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a human-like body structure, could assist people in homes, offices, health care facilities, public spaces and various other environments. Before they can be reliably deployed in these settings, however, robots should be able to safely navigate cluttered and dynamic environments.Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a human-like body structure, could assist people in homes, offices, health care facilities, public spaces and various other environments.
