A small team of AI researchers at Adobe Inc., working with a colleague from Auburn University and another from Georgia Tech, has developed a small language model (SLM) that they claim can be run locally on a smart phone with ...
Robotics
The deployment of robot teams could allow humans to complete various real-world tasks faster and more efficiently. For instance, multiple co-operating robots could help to quickly find and rescue survivors of natural disasters ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
Over the past decades, electronics and biomedical engineers have developed increasingly sophisticated biosensors, devices that can pick up biological signals from human users. These sensors, which are generally embedded in ...
Robotics
A multi-institutional trio of roboticists has designed and built a robot that mimics the abilities of the dung beetle. In their paper published in the journal Advanced Science, Binggwong Leung, Stanislav Gorb and Poramate ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), semiconductor-based devices that emit light when an electric current flows through them, are key building blocks of numerous electronic devices. LEDs are used to light up smartphone, computer, ...
Robotics
A team of roboticists and engineers at MIT CSAIL, Institute for AI and Fundamental Interactions, has developed a generative AI approach to teaching robots how to traverse terrain and move around objects in the real world.
Electronics & Semiconductors
Three-dimensional (3D) integration has opened new possibilities for the development of denser circuits with more interconnected electronic components. 3D integration approaches entail stacking multiple layers of electronic ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials, as incident light can ...
Energy & Green Tech
While systems that can generate energy from renewable sources are becoming increasingly widespread, it might take a while before these systems fully replace solutions that rely on the burning of fossil fuels. In the meantime, ...
Hardware
Edge computing devices, devices located in proximity to the source of data instead of in large data centers, could perform computations locally. This could reduce latency, particularly in real-time applications, as it would ...
