If “to err is human,” you could say robots are superhuman. They’re more error-prone than we are, even when tasked with things like home and factory chores, which we might consider easy. One reason for these mistakes is that robots struggle to extract relevant details from the past and act on them in real time, even with vision-language models (VLMs), which interpret visual inputs such as videos and images along with natural language.If “to err is human,” you could say robots are superhuman.

Combining computer graphics, wave optics and AI-based calibration, researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two techniques that help holographic displays reproduce more natural changes in focus, perspective and material appearance.Combining computer graphics, wave optics and AI-based calibration, researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two techniques that help holographic displays reproduce more natural changes in focus, perspective and material appearance.Hi Tech & Innovation[#item_full_content]
An experimental study of various ways of working with AI on a creative task finds that preserving human involvement in early creative decisions can help organizations balance efficiency, quality and satisfaction. AI is fast and efficient, but research suggests that using generative AI can reduce the diversity of creative outputs and sap worker morale.An experimental study of various ways of working with AI on a creative task finds that preserving human involvement in early creative decisions can help organizations balance efficiency, quality and satisfaction.

Even with high-performance storage devices, inefficient data management can prevent them from reaching their full speed. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that improves the process of moving and reorganizing data to reuse storage space, increasing the data-processing performance of next-generation flash storage devices.Even with high-performance storage devices, inefficient data management can prevent them from reaching their full speed.
