Researchers study the importance of enunciation when using speech-to-text software in medical situations.

It seems simple: The robot ZRob, a small machine easily placed on a table, holds a drumstick and beats a drum. In reality, it is anything but simple. ZRob's arm has a flexible grip, just like the human wrist. It also has an artificial intelligence (AI) that helps it optimize its movements.

Say hello to the robot called Bifrost. With the help of AI technology, it uses its tactile capabilities to manipulate soft and pliable objects to order.

It has become essential for production companies to manufacture in a climate-friendly and economical way. With process-integrated measures, pollutant emissions and the use of resources must be kept as low as possible, while protecting and relieving the burden on employees.

A musical robot that can play the piano alongside a human, creating a harmonic accompaniment in real time, has won an award at the Center for Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence (CHIA) Conference 2024.

Orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) are fundamental to long-span bridge designs, prized for their high load-carrying efficiency and lightweight characteristics. However, their intricate structure makes them vulnerable to fatigue cracking, particularly at key connection points, posing serious safety risks.

Have you ever wondered why an airplane has a vertical tailfin? The plane needs it to stabilize its flight. Since flying without a vertical tail is much more energy-efficient, the aviation industry has worked hard to accomplish this—so far without much success. However, birds don't need a vertical fin, which raises the question: how do they do it?

Our new AI system accurately identifies errors inside quantum computers, helping to make this new technology more reliable.

Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonized, researchers have discovered.

In order to use remote locations to record and assess the behavior of wildlife and environmental conditions, the GAIA Initiative developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that reliably and automatically classifies behaviors of white-backed vultures using animal tag data. As scavengers, vultures always look for the next carcass. With the help of tagged animals and a second AI algorithm, the scientists can now automatically locate carcasses across vast landscapes.

Unlike traditional weed control methods that often rely on herbicides or labor-intensive practices, the LaserWeeder uses targeted lasers to eliminate weeds without harming crops.

The AI Science Forum highlights AI's present and potential role in revolutionizing scientific discovery and solving global challenges, emphasizing collaboration between the scientific community, policymakers, and industry leaders.

Microsoft Ignite starts on November 19th this year. While there will be a lot of product updates and status reports on Microsoft Copilot and other Microsoft AI tools, the real benefit of this show will likely have far less to […]
