To reliably assist humans with daily tasks in a broad range of real-world settings, robots should be able to effectively and dexterously manipulate different types of objects. The development of new cost-effective robotic grippers or other hand-like artificial systems plays a key role in enabling dexterous object manipulation in robots.To reliably assist humans with daily tasks in a broad range of real-world settings, robots should be able to effectively and dexterously manipulate different types of objects.

A deluge of bizarre computer-generated images swept Elon Musk’s social platform X last week—including violent, offensive and sexually suggestive content. In one, Trump piloted a helicopter as the World Trade Center buildings burned in the background. In others, Kamala Harris wore a bikini, and Donald Duck used heroin. Amidst the online furor, Musk posted, “Grok is the most fun AI in the world!”A deluge of bizarre computer-generated images swept Elon Musk’s social platform X last week—including violent, offensive and sexually suggestive content.

The internet, and particularly social media, have grown exponentially over the last decades. The nature of social media allows anyone to go online and create content they find interesting, whether appropriate or not. One form of inappropriate content is hate speech—offensive or threatening speech targeting certain people based on their ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and the like.The internet, and particularly social media, have grown exponentially over the last decades.

New research reveals that synchronized foot vibrations and posture significantly enhance virtual walking experiences for stationary observers, improving self-motion, walking sensation, and embodiment. Standing posture was most effective, but sitting and lying positions also benefited from synchronized vibrations. These findings have practical applications in virtual reality (VR) for training, rehabilitation, and entertainment, offering improved immersion and realism even for users with physical limitations.New research reveals that synchronized foot vibrations and posture significantly enhance virtual walking experiences for stationary observers, improving self-motion, walking sensation, and embodiment.

Beam Mobility secretly deployed ‘phantom’ e-scooters in Australia and NZ to dodge fees and boost profits

Shared e-scooter startup Beam Mobility has placed hundreds of extra “phantom” scooters on city streets in Australia and New Zealand to avoid paying vehicle registration fees to local governments, according to a two-part report from The Australian. Cities place caps on the number of vehicles operators can deploy to avoid saturating streets and sidewalks with […]

Automatic bug assignment has been well studied in the past decade. As textual bug reports usually describe the buggy phenomena and potential causes, engineers highly depend on these reports to fix bugs. Researchers heavily depend on the textual content in the bug reports to locate the buggy files. However, noises in texts bring adverse impacts to automatic bug assignments unexpectedly, mainly due to insufficiency of classical Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques.Automatic bug assignment has been well studied in the past decade.
