New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables.
Researchers have developed a fast and accurate flexible optical skin that can be used to read Braille. The advance could not only improve access to information for people who are blind but also help move us closer to a future where accessible and adaptable technology can benefit everyone.
Impressively, all the motions in the example videos appear lifelike and fluid — with subjects moving much faster and more naturally.Read More
After years of complaints about “unlawful” repairability policies, the FTC is suing tractor manufacturer Deere & Company. Repairability advocates are calling it a milestone for consumer rights.
Effective urban traffic management remains a cornerstone of smart city development. With the rise of autonomous vehicles and connected transportation systems, dynamic surveillance solutions are critical to ensuring smooth traffic flow, minimizing accidents, and optimizing efficiency. However, traditional static camera setups often fail to adapt to rapid changes in traffic conditions, resulting in inefficient monitoring …

LLM MiniMax-Text-o1 is of particular note for enabling up to 4 million tokens in its context window — equivalent to a small library.Read More
A team of AI researchers at Mohamed bin Zayed University of AI, in Abu Dhabi, working with a colleague from the University of Central Florida, has developed a curriculum learning–based LLM, called LlamaV-o1, that its makers claim shows the benefits of step-by-step reasoning in AI systems. In their study, published on the arXiv preprint server …
Even when it comes to non-reasoning LLMs such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet, there may be room for regular users to improve their prompting.Read More
A UK judge ruled against James Howells, who has been trying to get a hard drive with private keys to a cryptocurrency fortune out of a landfill for over a decade.
AI applications like ChatGPT are based on artificial neural networks that, in many respects, imitate the nerve cells in our brains. They are trained with vast quantities of data on high-performance computers, gobbling up massive amounts of energy in the process.
