In an advancement for robotics and artificial intelligence, researchers at Chongqing University of Technology, along with their international collaborators, have developed a cutting-edge method for enhancing interaction recognition. The study, published in Cyborg and Bionic Systems, introduces the Merge-and-Split Graph Convolutional Network (MS-GCN), a novel approach specifically designed to address the complexities of skeleton-based interaction recognition.In an advancement for robotics and artificial intelligence, researchers at Chongqing University of Technology, along with their international collaborators, have developed a cutting-edge method for enhancing interaction recognition.

In a study published in Cyborg Bionic Systems, researchers from Shanghai University have unveiled a new artificial intelligence framework that improves the way robots interpret and execute tasks. The “Correction and Planning with Memory Integration” (CPMI) framework leverages large language models (LLMs) to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of robots performing complex, instruction-based tasks.In a study published in Cyborg Bionic Systems, researchers from Shanghai University have unveiled a new artificial intelligence framework that improves the way robots interpret and execute tasks.
