These AI-powered guide dogs don’t just lead, they talk
Guide dogs are powerful allies, leading the visually impaired safely to their destinations, but they can’t talk with their owners—until now. Using large language models, a team of researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York has created a talking robot guide dog system that determines an ideal route and safely guides users to their destination, offering real-time feedback along the way.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in collaboration with UC Berkeley, have developed a new type of intelligent image sensor that can perform machine-learning inference during the act of photodetection itself.
Robots powered by popular artificial intelligence models are currently unsafe for general purpose real-world use, according to new research from King's College London and Carnegie Mellon University.
Tuochao Chen, a University of Washington doctoral student, recently toured a museum in Mexico. Chen doesn't speak Spanish, so he ran a translation app on his phone and pointed the microphone at the tour guide. But even in a museum's relative quiet, the surrounding noise was too much. The resulting…
