Computer scientists have taught an artificial intelligence agent how to do something that usually only humans can do--take a few quick glimpses around and infer its whole environment, a skill necessary for the development of effective search-and-rescue robots that one day can improve the effectiveness of dangerous missions.

An algorithm enables robots to put pen to paper, writing words using stroke patterns similar to human handwriting. It's a step, the researchers say, toward robots that are able to communicate more fluently with human co-workers and collaborators.

A fleet of driverless cars working together to keep traffic moving smoothly can improve overall traffic flow by at least 35 percent, researchers have shown.

Researchers have found a way to teach a computer to precisely detect one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease in human brain tissue, delivering a proof of concept for a machine-learning approach to distinguishing critical markers of the disease.

Remesh, the software company utilizing artificial intelligence to reinvent the way organizations conduct research, announced significant hiring growth across almost all departments.

Aiming to simplify and speed up complicated radiology workflows, NVIDIA and King's College London are partnering to build an AI platform that will in the near future allow specialists in the U.K.'s National Health Service to train computers to automate the most time-consuming part of radiology interpretation.

Artificial intelligence could help scientists shed new light on the variety of species living on the ocean floor, according to new research.

San Francisco has become the first city in the United States to ban the use of facial recognition technology by police or other government agencies.

Imagine legendary surrealist artist Salvador Dali personally welcoming you to the museum, even sharing observations on current events and the motivations behind his masterpieces. Using an artificial intelligence-based cutting edge technique, the new "Dali Lives" experience employs machine learning to create a version of Dali's likeness, resulting in an uncanny resurrection of the mustached master.

Knightscope Inc announced that facial recognition software utilizing deep learning to detect, analyze and compare faces is now available, in beta format, on its K1 security robot platform to help enhance Workplace Violence Prevention programs.

Machine learning is overtaking humans in predicting death or heart attack. Doctors use risk scores to make treatment decisions. But these scores are based on just a handful of variables and often have modest accuracy in individual patients. Through repetition and adjustment, machine learning can exploit large amounts of data and identify complex patterns that may not be evident to humans.

Researchers have engineered flying robots that behave like hummingbirds, trained by machine learning algorithms based on various techniques the bird uses naturally every day.

The US Department of Energy announced up to $5.5 million for 10 new projects to apply machine learning techniques to geothermal exploration and production. Machine learning - the use of advanced algorithms to identify patterns in and make inferences from data - could assist in finding and developing new geothermal resources.

More ambitious EV objectives drive radically new EV technologies

To integrate the usually volatile renewable sources into energy supply, capacities of the power grid have to be increased. The need for new lines can be reduced by better utilization of existing lines as a function of weather conditions. To this end, researchers work on self-learning sensor networks to model the cooling effect of weather based on real data within the "PrognoNetz" project.

These days, nearly all the artificial intelligence-based products in our lives rely on "deep neural networks" that automatically learn to process labeled data.

Development of "whole body model automatic generation AI" which generates whole body images of non-existent people could be used in the advertising and clothing industries.

ABS, Google Cloud and SoftServe completed a pilot project applying artificial intelligence models to detect levels of corrosion and coating breakdown on ships and offshore structures.

IDTechEx CEO, Raghu Das discusses trends in flexible electronics, stretchable electronics, structural electronics, internet of things, sensors, wearables, healthcare, electric vehicles, energy storage, graphene, 3d printing and printed electronics in the opening cornerstone presentation at the IDTechEx Show! Europe 2019.

A test launch for a hypersonic weapon — a long-range missile that flies a mile per second and faster — takes weeks of planning. So, while the U.S. and other states are racing to deploy hypersonic technologies, it remains uncertain how useful the systems will be against urgent, mobile or evolving threats.
