SAN FRANCISCO – Forget the Terminator. The next robot on the horizon may be wearing a lab coat. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already helping scientists form testable hypotheses that enable experts to run real experiments, and the technology may soon be poised to help businesses make decisions, one scientist says. However, that doesn't mean the … Continue reading Will Artificial Intelligence Be the Next Einstein?
Traffic lights, or traffic signals, are located on most major corners in cities and towns around the world. The red, yellow and green lights let us know when it is safe to drive through the intersection and when to walk across the street as well as when to stop and let other drivers, bikers … Continue reading Who Invented the Traffic Light?
IBM's question-answering whiz, the Watson computer system, famously beat former winners on Jeopardy in 2011 — and now it's digging into aerospace research and data to help NASA answer questions on the frontier of spaceflight science and make crucial decisions in the moment during air travel. More than 60 years after the first IBM computing … Continue reading IBM’s Watson Turns Its Computer Brain to NASA Research
Instead of extending your arm or using a selfie stick to snap shots of you and your crew, you could use a new pocket-size drone — dubbed the "AirSelfie" — to help you remotely capture aerial photos and videos. The AirSelfie is the brainchild of Italian entrepreneur Edoardo Stroppiana, who came up with the … Continue reading Forget Selfie Sticks: This Drone Captures Photos and Videos in Midair
From navigating turbulence, to sleeping midflight, to soaring without a sound, animals' flight adaptations are helping scientists design better flying robots. Airborne drones and the animals they mimic are featured in 18 new studies published online Dec. 15 in the journal Interface Focus. This special issue is intended "to inspire development of new aerial … Continue reading New Flying Robots Take Cues From Airborne Animals
Solving a Rubik's Cube is an impressive feat by itself, but now, a robot can do it in record time, cracking the 3D puzzle about 10 times faster than the human who holds the world record. In just over half of a second (0.637 seconds), the Sub1 Reloaded robot made each side of the Rubik's … Continue reading New Record! Robot Solves Rubik’s Cube in Less Than a Second
Oh it's turning. Brake! Alright, we're scared but we're good." The Tesla Model S had only gone a few feet, rolling mostly straight from one empty spot in the parking garage to another. The driver wasn't actually behind the wheel, though. He sat in the passenger's seat, donning an EEG headset that allowed him to … Continue reading Hackers Turn Tesla Into a Brain-Controlled Car
The first computers cost millions of dollars and were locked inside rooms equipped with special electrical circuits and air conditioning. The only people who could use them had been trained to write programs in that specific computer's language. Today, gesture-based interactions, using multitouch pads and touchscreens, and exploration of virtual 3D spaces allow us to … Continue reading Are You Ready for a Computer That Reads Your Mind?
