System trains drones to fly around obstacles at high speeds
If you follow autonomous drone racing, you likely remember the crashes as much as the wins. In drone racing, teams compete to see which vehicle is better trained to fly fastest through an obstacle course. But the faster drones fly, the more unstable they become, and at high speeds their aerodynamics can be too complicated to predict.
Twitter algorithm prefers slimmer, younger, light-skinned faces
A Twitter-sponsored competition to discover bias in its image algorithm finds precisely that.
3D capture for construction is like SimCity (but for real)
3D capture technologies in arm's race for future of construction and inspection.
Robots are coming for the lawyers — which may be great for anyone in need of cheap legal assistance
Imagine what a lawyer does on a given day: researching cases, drafting briefs, advising clients. While technology has been nibbling around the edges of the legal profession for some time, it's hard to imagine those complex tasks being done by a robot.

Exact symbolic artificial intelligence for faster, better assessment of AI fairness
The justice system, banks, and private companies use algorithms to make decisions that have profound impacts on people's lives. Unfortunately, those algorithms are sometimes biased—disproportionately impacting people of color as well as individuals in lower income classes when they apply for loans or jobs, or even when courts decide what bail should be set while a person awaits trial.
