Transforming how AI systems perceive human hands

Making Artificial Intelligence systems robustly perceive humans remains one of the most intricate challenges in computer vision. Among the most complex problems is reconstructing 3D models of human hands, a task with wide-ranging applications in robotics, animation, human-computer interaction, and augmented and virtual reality. The difficulty lies in the nature of hands themselves, often obscured while holding objects or contorted into challenging orientations during tasks like grasping.

Robot Talk Episode 105 – Working with robots in industry, with Gianmarco Pisanelli 

Claire chatted to Gianmarco Pisanelli from the the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre about how to promote the safe and intuitive use of robots in manufacturing.

Gianmarco Pisanelli specialises in early-stage technology readiness level (TRL) research, with a focus on collaborative workspaces, multi-robot systems, and robotic simulations. He possesses extensive experience in industrial robotics, including PLC programming and the development of intuitive robotic interfaces such as natural speech and augmented reality. As the lead developer for the Robot Operating System (ROS) at the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), he serves as the primary point of contact for SMEs and major partners.

Artificial touch: Brain-controlled bionic hand now senses edges and motion

A complex sense of touch for individuals living with spinal cord injuries is a step closer to reality. A study published in Science, paves the way for complex touch sensations through brain stimulation while using an extracorporeal bionic limb, that is attached to a chair or wheelchair. The paper is titled "Tactile edges and motion via patterned microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex."

Autonomous AI assistant to build nanostructures

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the surface of the material. Materials science utilizes this factor to create certain properties by applying individual atoms and molecules to surfaces with the aid of high-performance microscopes. Using artificial intelligence, a new research group now wants to take the construction of nanostructures to a new level.

Innovative 6D pose dataset sets new standard for robotic grasping performance

Researchers have developed a novel 6D pose dataset designed to improve robotic grasping accuracy and adaptability in industrial settings. The dataset, which integrates RGB and depth images, demonstrates significant potential to enhance the precision of robots performing pick-and-place tasks in dynamic environments.

Innovative 6D pose dataset sets new standard for robotic grasping performance

Accurate object pose estimation refers to the ability of a robot to determine both the position and orientation of an object. It is essential for robotics, especially in pick-and-place tasks, which are crucial in industries such as manufacturing and logistics.
