Simple robots, smart algorithms
Anyone with children knows that while controlling one child can be hard, controlling many at once can be nearly impossible. Getting swarms of robots to work collectively can be equally challenging, unless researchers carefully ...

Using artificial intelligence to find anomalies hiding in massive datasets
Identifying a malfunction in the nation's power grid can be like trying to find a needle in an enormous haystack. Hundreds of thousands of interrelated sensors spread across the U.S. capture data on electric current, voltage, ...

A technique that allows robots to estimate the pose of objects by touching them
Humans are able to find objects in their surroundings and detect some of their properties simply by touching them. While this skill is particularly valuable for blind individuals, it can also help people with no visual impairments ...

Taking another look at stochastic rounding to prevent stagnation in computer systems
A small team of researchers from the U.S., the U.K. and France has taken a fresh look at the possibility of using stochastic rounding (SR) in certain computer applications to reduce stagnation. In their paper published in ...

By observing humans, robots learn to perform complex tasks, such as setting a table
Training interactive robots may one day be an easy job for everyone, even those without programming expertise. Roboticists are developing automated robots that can learn new tasks solely by observing humans. At home, you ...

A new strategy to correct imperfections in occupancy grid maps
Researchers at Laboratório de Computação de Alto Desempenho (LCAD) of Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES), in Brazil, have devised a novel strategy for correcting imperfections in occupancy grid maps by correcting ...

Finding patterns in corrupted data: New model-fitting technique efficient even for data sets with hundreds of variables
Data analysis—and particularly big-data analysis—is often a matter of fitting data to some sort of mathematical model. The most familiar example of this might be linear regression, which finds a line that approximates ...
