'Robot scientist' Eve finds that less than one-third of scientific results are reproducible
Researchers have used a combination of automated text analysis and the "robot scientist" Eve to semi-automate the process of reproducing research results. The problem of lack of reproducibility is one of the biggest crises facing modern science.
Touchy subject: 3D printed fingertip 'feels' like human skin
Machines can beat the world's best chess player, but they cannot handle a chess piece as well as an infant. This lack of robot dexterity is partly because artificial grippers lack the fine tactile sense of the human fingertip, which is used to guide our hands as we pick up and handle objects.
Report: 85% of SREs say that automation is ‘imperative’ for innovation
SREs say that automation is needed to accelerate innovation and transformation while alleviating some of the more time-consuming processes.
Robots dress humans without the full picture
Robots are already adept at certain things, such as lifting objects that are too heavy or cumbersome for people to manage. Another application they're well suited for is the precision assembly of items like watches that have large numbers of tiny parts—some so small they can barely be seen with the naked eye.
Researchers improve 3D printing quality by sharing data among machines
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are improving 3D printing technology by teaching machines to learn from each other.
Algorithms combat environmental pollution from ships
Algorithms can help with the prevention of air pollution and ships sinking in the sea. A team of Leiden University researchers have worked together with the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management to look into data-driven inspection of ships.
Opendoor moves into New York, New Jersey markets
The new market requires the real estate tech company to "flex a lot of muscles" to divine pricing with AI models, says CTO Ian Wong.
VHive expands drone-driven digital twins to more industries, lands $25 in funding
vHive was created after cofounders saw how the manufacturing industry used digital twins to improve product designs. The two saw a way that the combination of low-cost drones and better software could provide similar benefits at a macro level.
Our Human Future in an Age of Artificial Intelligence
For the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing Dean Dan Huttenlocher, bringing disciplines together is the best way to address challenges and opportunities posed by rapid advancements in computing. What does it mean to be human in an age where artificia
Dataminr’s AI platform adds geovisualization and risk analysis capabilities
Dataminr's AI platform discovers, distills, and delivers alerts from social media, blogs, information sensors and the dark web, ensuring that businesses have the backstory knowledge they need to make key decisions.
How Walmart gained the advantage in drone delivery
With stores located near most Americans, Walmart is betting big on drone delivery to rival Amazon.
Honey holds potential for making brain-like computer chips
Honey might be a sweet solution for developing environmentally friendly components for neuromorphic computers, systems designed to mimic the neurons and synapses found in the human brain.
AI system inspects astronauts’ gloves for damage in real-time

Can A.I.-Driven Voice Analysis Help Identify Mental Disorders?
Early tests have been promising, but issues involving bias, privacy and mistrust of “black box” algorithms are possible pitfalls.
AI-powered camera traps could protect Gabon wildlife from poachers
AI powered camera traps give Gabon wildlife rangers a new tool in the fight against biodiversity loss and poaching
Physiological signals could be the key to 'emotionally intelligent' AI, scientists say
Artificial intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of modern technology. Making AI 'emotionally intelligent' could open doors to more natural human-machine interactions. To do this, it needs to pick up on the user's sentiment during a dialog. Physiological signals could provide a direct route to such sentiments.
Adding AI to Museum exhibits increases learning, keeps kids engaged longer
Researchers have demonstrated a more effective way to support learning and increase engagement at science-focused museum exhibits. They used artificial intelligence to create a new genre of interactive, hands-on exhibits that includes an intelligent, virtual assistant to interact with visitors.
