Whether you’re reaching for a mug, a pencil or someone’s hand, you don’t need to consciously instruct each of your fingers on where they need to go to get a proper grip.Whether you’re reaching for a mug, a pencil or someone’s hand, you don’t need to consciously instruct each of your fingers on where they need to go to get a proper grip.[#item_full_content]
Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of advanced systems that can move around in their surroundings and complete various tasks. Most of these robots can effectively collect images and other data in their surroundings, using computer vision algorithms to interpret it and plan their future actions.Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of advanced systems that can move around in their surroundings and complete various tasks.

Realistic digital avatars are becoming increasingly relevant, for example in virtual and augmented reality applications, video conferencing, films and computer games, or in medicine. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, are now presenting two novel methods at two of the world’s leading computer graphics conferences, SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia. These methods enable the generation of photorealistic full-body avatars and allow head avatars to be controlled using only audio tracks.Realistic digital avatars are becoming increasingly relevant, for example in virtual and augmented reality applications, video conferencing, films and computer games, or in medicine.

In a striking leap toward safer self-driving cars, researchers at Texas A&M University College of Engineering and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) system called OmniPredict.In a striking leap toward safer self-driving cars, researchers at Texas A&M University College of Engineering and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) system called OmniPredict.Automotive[#item_full_content]
Developing chips that simulate how the brain works has great promise for AI, robotics, and other fields. But making them so that they’re scalable while providing repeatable results has proven tricky. Now, a Yale-led team of researchers has put forth a solution. The results are published in Nature Communications.Developing chips that simulate how the brain works has great promise for AI, robotics, and other fields.
