Research in Japan shows the way toward tactile and proximity sensing in large soft robots
To make human-robot interactions safer and more fruitful, robots should be capable of sensing their environment. In a recent study, researchers developed a novel robotic link with tactile and proximity sensing capabilities. Additionally, they created a simulation and learning framework that can be employed to train the robotic link to sense its environment. Their findings …
FaceLit: Neural 3D Relightable Faces
We propose a generative framework, FaceLit, capable of generating a 3D face that can be rendered at various user-defined lighting conditions and views, learned purely from 2D images in-the-wild without any manual annotation. Unlike existing works that require careful capture setup or human labor, we rely on off-the-shelf pose and illumination estimators. With these estimates, …
Deploy large models at high performance using FasterTransformer on Amazon SageMaker
Sparked by the release of large AI models like AlexaTM, GPT, OpenChatKit, BLOOM, GPT-J, GPT-NeoX, FLAN-T5, OPT, Stable Diffusion, and ControlNet, the popularity of generative AI has seen a recent boom. Businesses are beginning to evaluate new cutting-edge applications of the technology in text, image, audio, and video generation that have the potential to revolutionize …

OpenAI chief says age of giant AI models is ending; a GPU crisis could be one reason why
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that more AI progress will not come from making models bigger. What he didn’t say is that one big reason is the massive cost of GPUs.Read More
Polestar 4 2023 Reveal: No Rear Window
The 350-mile Polestar 4 attempts to maximize interior space and right the wrongs of the much-maligned SUV coupé.
Researchers mimic the human hippocampus to improve autonomous navigation
HBP researchers at the Institute of Biophysics of the National Research Council (IBF-CNR) in Palermo, Italy, have mimicked the neuronal architecture and connections of the brain’s hippocampus to develop a robotic platform capable of learning as humans do while the robot navigates around a space.
Much ado about generative AI: The money, the potential, the pitfalls
Generative AI can open a whole new creative universe, but only if we ask the right questions and give the right commands in creation.Read More
