A research team from Skoltech and other institutions have pioneered a new fast way to distinguish weighted goods at a supermarket. Unlike existing systems, the algorithm will make neural network training faster when new types of produce arrive. The paper is published in the IEEE Access journal.A research team from Skoltech and other institutions have pioneered a new fast way to distinguish weighted goods at a supermarket.

Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful image analysis technique used in the field of materials science and engineering to study the mechanical behavior and deformation of complex 3D structures. By comparing voxel intensities in a pair of 3D digital images captured at different states of loading or deformation, DVC allows researchers to track and quantify displacements, strains, and other mechanical properties with high precision and non-invasively.Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful image analysis technique used in the field of materials science and engineering to study the mechanical behavior and deformation of complex 3D structures.

Today marks an important milestone in the history of the internet: Google’s 25th birthday. With billions of search queries submitted each day, it’s difficult to remember how we ever lived without the search engine.Today marks an important milestone in the history of the internet: Google’s 25th birthday.

Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) is a label-free imaging technique that leverages the optical path length information in transparent samples to evaluate their refractive index distribution and thickness variations. Multispectral QPI systems extend this principle, capturing multiple phase images across various spectral bands of interest. This functionality enables the study of spatial refractive index variations and dispersion characteristics of transparent samples such as cells.Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) is a label-free imaging technique that leverages the optical path length information in transparent samples to evaluate their refractive index distribution and thickness variations.

Robots made of metal and other solid materials are already widely used in industry. But they are too rigid and cumbersome for fine-motor activities and interaction with people, such as in nursing or medicine. Intensive research is therefore already being carried out into robots made of soft materials: inspiration from nature, such as jellyfish, earthworms, fish or the human body should enable “soft robots” that can move flexibly and adapt to their environment.Robots made of metal and other solid materials are already widely used in industry.

Evolutionary robotics is a sub-field of robotics aimed at developing artificial “organisms” that can improve their capabilities and body configuration in response to their surroundings, just as humans and animals evolve, adapting their skills and appearance over time. A growing number of roboticists have been trying to develop these evolvable robotic systems, leveraging recent artificial intelligence (AI) advances.Evolutionary robotics is a sub-field of robotics aimed at developing artificial “organisms” that can improve their capabilities and body configuration in response to their surroundings, just as humans and animals evolve, adapting their skills and appearance over time.
