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...
Researchers create a cancer vaccine that will both treat and prevent brain cancer.
Posted on 6 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: Researchers are using a novel technique to transform cancer cells into effective anti-cancer medicines. Researchers have created a new cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumours and induce long-term immunity, training the immune system to prevent cancer from recurring, in the most recent research from the lab of Khalid Shah, MS, PhD, at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system. A sophisticated mouse model of the...
Clean, sustainable fuel produced from plastic garbage
Posted on 8 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: Researchers have shown how carbon dioxide from industrial operations or even straight from the air can be gathered and converted into sustainable, clean fuels using only solar energy.
The University of Cambridge researchers created a solar-powered reactor that transforms collected CO 2 and plastic waste into renewable fuels and other useful chemical compounds. In experiments, CO 2 was transformed into syngas, an essential component of sustainable liquid fuels, and plastic...
