Fast-Track Your Sensor Research: Essential Tools for Accelerated Testing

3 Απριλίου 2024 by paulkokos

paulkokos

A sensor generates an electrical signal that depends on the physical quantity we aim to measure. Achieving the desired performance is an iterative process that begins with finding suitable materials, sensing methods, and control parameters. A complete toolset to characterize the prototype with efficient workflows is crucial to keep up…

Satellite Radar Sharpens Ukraine Dam Collapse Questions

New analysis of the former Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine shows that it may have been deteriorating long before it collapsed in June 2023, amid credible reports of explosions.An international team of researchers has been studying synthetic aperture radar (SAR) archival data of the dam and evaluating the larger context behind…

Toyota’s Bubble-ized Humanoid Grasps With Its Whole Body

2 Απριλίου 2024 by paulkokos

When we think about robotic manipulation, the default is usually to think about grippers—about robots using manipulators (like fingers or other end effectors) to interact with objects. For most humans, though, interacting with objects can be a lot more complicated, and we use whatever body parts are convenient to help…

Blink to Generate Power For Smart Contact Lenses

The potential use cases for smart contacts are compelling and varied. Pop a lens on your eye and monitor health metrics like glucose levels; receive targeted drug delivery for ocular diseases; experience augmented reality and read news updates with displays of information literally in your face. But the eye is…

Mobile World Congress, a technology convention held each year in Barcelona, Spain, placed a spotlight on rollable phones like the Phantom Ultimate, a scroll-like concept from Tecno Mobile, and Motorola’s “Adaptive Display Concept,” a phone that can wrap around your wrist like a smartwatch. They were followed by a new…

Will Liquid Circuits Enable Brain-Imitating Computers?

29 Μαρτίου 2024 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Liquid circuits that mimic synapses in the brain can for the first time perform the kind of logical operations underlying modern computers, a new study finds. Near-term applications for these devices may include tasks such as image recognition, as well as the kinds of calculations underlying most artificial intelligence systems.Just…

Transistor Takes Advantage of Quantum Interference

29 Μαρτίου 2024 by paulkokos

paulkokos

As transistors are made ever tinier to fit more computing power into a smaller footprint, they bump up against a big problem: quantum mechanics. Electrons get jumpy in small devices and leak out, which wastes energy while degrading performance. Now a team of researchers is showing that it doesn’t have…

Boston Dynamics Unleashes New Spot Variant for Research

28 Μαρτίου 2024 by paulkokos

paulkokos

At NVIDIA GTC last week, Boston Dynamics CTO Aaron Saunders gave a talk about deploying AI in real world robots—namely, how Spot is leveraging reinforcement learning to get better at locomotion (We spoke with Saunders last year about robots falling over). And Spot has gotten a lot better—a Spot robot…

Salt-Sized Sensors Mimic the Brain

28 Μαρτίου 2024 by paulkokos

paulkokos

To gain a better understanding of the brain, why not draw inspiration from it? At least, that’s what researchers at Brown University did, by building a wireless communications system that mimics the brain using an array of tiny silicon sensors, each the size of a grain of sand. The researchers…
