Mid-infrared (mid-IR) light is rich with information. For cameras sensitive to this portion of the spectrum, cancer cells are sometimes easily spotted. The earth under our feet glows like a campfire. Many “invisible” gases like carbon dioxide, methane and propane are also very much visible in mid-IR. This new realm of “colors” not available to the human eye may…

Illustration: James Provost Once priced out of the reach of enthusiasts, field-programmable gate arrays have become affordable in recent years, and have started popping up in all kinds of neat projects. By the very nature of their reconfigurable hardware, FPGAs can be used in many different ways, such as implementing…

In terms of places where you absolutely want a robot to go instead of you, what remains of the utterly destroyed Chernobyl Reactor 4 should be very near the top of your list. The reactor, which suffered a catastrophic meltdown in 1986, has been covered up in almost every way…

Why We Need a Robot Registry 

20 Νοεμβρίου 2020 by paulkokos

I have a confession to make: A robot haunts my nightmares. For me, Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot is 32.5 kilograms (71.1 pounds) of pure terror. It can climb stairs. It can open doors. Seeing it in a video cannot prepare you for the moment you cross paths on a trade-show floor.…

Deep Learning Has Reinvented Quality Control in Manufacturing—but It Hasn’t Gone Far Enough

This is a guest post. The views expressed here are solely those of the author and do not represent positions of IEEE Spectrum or the IEEE. In 2020, we’ve seen the accelerated adoption of deep learning as a part of the so-called Industry 4.0 revolution, in which digitization is remaking the manufacturing…

Coordinated Robotics Wins DARPA SubT Virtual Cave Circuit

20 Νοεμβρίου 2020 by paulkokos

DARPA held the Virtual Cave Circuit event of the Subterranean Challenge on Tuesday in the form of a several hour-long livestream. We got to watch (along with all of the competing teams) as virtual robots explored virtual caves fully autonomously, dodging rockfalls, spotting artifacts, scoring points, and sometimes running into…
