Researchers use AI to teach robots to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions
Columbia Engineering researchers use AI to teach robots to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions, an ability that could build trust between humans and their robotic co-workers and care-givers. While our facial…
New brain-like computing device simulates human learning
Researchers have developed a brain-like computing device that is capable of learning by association. Similar to how famed physiologist Ivan Pavlov conditioned dogs to associate a bell with food, researchers at Northwestern…
New AI tool calculates materials’ stress and strain based on photos
MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that uses an image of the material’s internal structure to estimate the stresses and strains acting on the material. For centuries, engineers have relied on…
