Robots learn human-like movement adjustments to prevent object slipping

To effectively tackle a variety of real-world tasks, robots should be able to reliably grasp objects of different shapes, textures and sizes, without dropping them in undesired locations. Conventional approaches to enhancing the ability of robots to grasp objects work by tightening the grip of a robotic hand to prevent objects from slipping.

How to build a deep research agent for lead generation using Google’s ADK

Traditional lead generation often relies on brittle scrapers and static scripts that lack the ability to adapt or reason. What if we could architect an agent that doesn’t just fetch data, but emulates the analytical process of a market research team? An agent that can discover patterns, validate information, and generate qualified leads based on …

Filtered data stops openly-available AI models from performing dangerous tasks, study finds

Researchers from the University of Oxford, EleutherAI, and the UK AI Security Institute have reported a major advance in safeguarding open-weight language models. By filtering out potentially harmful knowledge during training, the researchers were able to build models that resist subsequent malicious updates—especially valuable in sensitive domains such as biothreat research.

UltraReal + Nice Girls LoRAs for Qwen-Image

TL;DR — I trained two LoRAs for Qwen-Image: Lenovo: my cross-model realism booster (I port this to every new base; Chroma version coming soon). – https://huggingface.co/Danrisi/Lenovo_Qwen/tree/main Nice Girls: focused on natural, pretty women. – https://huggingface.co/Danrisi/adorablegirls_qwen/tree/main I’m still feeling out Qwen’s generation settings, so results aren’t peak yet. Updates are coming—stay tuned. I’m also planning an …

Misty: UI Prototyping Through Interactive Conceptual Blending

UI prototyping often involves iterating and blending elements from examples such as screenshots and sketches, but current tools offer limited support for incorporating these examples. Inspired by the cognitive process of conceptual blending, we introduce a novel UI workflow that allows developers to rapidly incorporate diverse aspects from design examples into work-in-progress UIs. We prototyped …
