Enhanced 3D vision helped a four-legged robot navigate bumpy terrain
Posted on 3 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: A novel model has been created by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, that teaches four-legged robots to see in three dimensions more clearly. The development made it possible for a robot to easily and autonomously navigate difficult terrain, including rocky ground, stairways, and paths with gaps.
The scientists will present their findings at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), which will be held in Vancouver, Canada, from June...
AI discovers flora's hidden characteristics to aid save species
Posted on 4 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary:To research and mitigate the effects of climate change on flora, scientists from UNSW and the Sydney Botanic Gardens have trained AI to access data from millions of plant specimens maintained in herbaria around the world.
Associate Professor Will Cornwell, the study's principal author, adds that herbarium collections are incredible "time capsules of plant specimens." It's no longer feasible to go through items manually because the National Herbarium of New South Wales alone...
Psychologists have shown that GPT-3 has the same level of reasoning ability as a college student
Posted on 4 August, 2023 by Charlotte Lee
Summary:
Standardised test-like logic problems were no match for the artificial intelligence language model GPT-3, which performed as well as college students. The experiment's authors argue that their findings raise the question of whether the technology is emulating human thinking or employing a novel cognitive mechanism. To get an answer, you'd need to go inside the code that powers GPT-3 and other AI programmes.
UCLA psychologists have shown that the AI language model GPT-3...
