May 9, 2017 @ 14:26 | Newcastle University researchers have developed a bionic hand which can respond automatically using computer vision. A new generation of prosthetic limbs which will allow the wearer to reach for objects automatically, without thinking – just like a real hand – are to be trialled for the first time. Led […]
Sep 28, 2016 @ 18:49 | Researchers are testing self-supervised learning technology using monocular vision with SPHERES drones for navigation in space. A small drone taught itself to judge distances using only one eye during trials aboard the International Space Station, ESA-backed researchers have reported. Although humans can effortlessly estimate distances with a single eye, robots […]

Jul 24, 2016 @ 18:08 | The Evolution of Innovation | Microsoft Research | Innovation has been at the heart of human progress for centuries. The nature and pace of innovation, however, has changed dramatically over time. Hermann Hauser’s talk will start with a survey of innovation since the invention of the wheel and end […]
Jun 22, 2016 @ 20:02 | MIT | Deep-learning vision system from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab anticipates human interactions using videos of TV shows. When we see two people meet, we can often predict what happens next: a handshake, a hug, or maybe even a kiss. Our ability to anticipate actions is […]
Jun 1, 2016 @ 21:03 | Stanford| USA | Human behavior cannot be predicted by any mathematical rule; human may behave differently in different situations and also changes over time. So to navigate among the humans on sidewalks and mingle with humans in crowded places, robots have to understand the unwritten rules of human behavior. […]
