The voice on the phone seemed frighteningly real—an American mother heard her daughter sobbing before a man took over and demanded a ransom. But the girl was an AI clone and the abduction was fake.The voice on the phone seemed frighteningly real—an American mother heard her daughter sobbing before a man took over and demanded a ransom.

Modern-day society relies intrinsically on automated systems and artificial intelligence. It is embedded into our daily routines and shows no signs of slowing, in fact use of robotic and automated assistance is ever-increasing.Modern-day society relies intrinsically on automated systems and artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable progress creating images that are not only breathtaking, but astonishingly diverse in style. Ten years ago, such an achievement would have been deemed unlikely by experts. Today, AI can create images using specific artistic styles, such as Van Gogh’s unique approach, with an infinite range of variations.Artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable progress creating images that are not only breathtaking, but astonishingly diverse in style.

This month marks the 30th anniversary of a film that changed cinema forever. 1993’s “Jurassic Park” used pioneering computer-generated imagery (CGI) to bring dinosaurs to life in Steven Spielberg’s adaption of the novel of the same name.This month marks the 30th anniversary of a film that changed cinema forever. 1993’s “Jurassic Park” used pioneering computer-generated imagery (CGI) to bring dinosaurs to life in Steven Spielberg’s adaption of the novel of the same name.[#item_full_content]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be used to help combat nausea, headaches and dizziness among virtual reality (VR) users and make the technology more accessible, according to a new study with Charles Darwin University (CDU).Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be used to help combat nausea, headaches and dizziness among virtual reality (VR) users and make the technology more accessible, according to a new study with Charles Darwin University (CDU).Hardware[#item_full_content]
A team of material scientists and electronic engineers at MIT, has developed a way to create magnetic soft robots by combining fiber-based fabrication systems with mechanical and magnetic programming methods to provide locomotion under unidirectional magnetic fields. In their paper published in the journal Advanced Materials, the group describes how they overcame problems faced by others attempting to create magnetically controlled soft robots and outline the design of the robots they created.A team of material scientists and electronic engineers at MIT, has developed a way to create magnetic soft robots by combining fiber-based fabrication systems with mechanical and magnetic programming methods to provide locomotion under unidirectional magnetic fields.

In recent years, roboticists have created a growing number of autonomous systems based on different structures and designs. Among these are modular robots, which are composed of different elements or “modules” that can be reconfigured to carry out specific tasks more effectively.In recent years, roboticists have created a growing number of autonomous systems based on different structures and designs.

Vehicle color recognition (VCR) is vital in intelligent traffic management and criminal investigation assistance. However, the existing vehicle color data sets only cover 13 classes, which cannot meet the current actual demand. Besides, although much effort is devoted to VCR, it suffers from the problem of class imbalance in data sets.Vehicle color recognition (VCR) is vital in intelligent traffic management and criminal investigation assistance.
