Swarm of autonomous tiny drones can localize gas leaks
When there is a gas leak in a large building or at an industrial site, human firefighters currently need to go in with gas sensing instruments. Finding the gas leak may take considerable time, while they are risking their lives. Researchers have now developed the first swarm of tiny - and hence very safe - drones that can autonomously detect and localize gas sources in cluttered indoor environments.
Trust me, I'm a chatbot
More and more companies are using chatbots in customer services. Due to advances in artificial intelligence and natural language processing, chatbots are often indistinguishable from humans when it comes to communication. But should companies tell customers they are communicating with machines and not with humans? Researchers investigated.
Getting dressed with help from robots
Basic safety needs in the paleolithic era have largely evolved with the onset of the industrial and cognitive revolutions. We interact a little less with raw materials, and interface a little more with machines.

New platform allows autonomous vehicles to safely drive at small distances
Ph.D. student Robbin van Hoek has designed a new platform for automated vehicles that integrates the benefits of cooperative and autonomous vehicles. The framework is an important step toward autonomous vehicles that are capable of safely driving at small inter-vehicle distances, while preventing the harmonica effect that is often seen in human driven vehicles at the highway.

Self-supervised machine learning adds depth, breadth and speed to sky surveys
Sky surveys are invaluable for exploring the universe, allowing celestial objects to be catalogued and analyzed without the need for lengthy observations. But in providing a general map or image of a region of the sky, they are also one of the largest data generators in science, currently imaging tens of millions to billions of galaxies over the lifetime of an individual survey.
Detection of COVID-19 via Automatic Artificial Intelligence Cough Analysis
A team of researchers has submitted the system to the Cough Sound Track of the Diagnosing COVID-19 using Acoustics (DiCOVA) Challenge. The covid-19 crisis has tested healthcare systems throughout the world. Access to vaccines against covid-19 has rendered the situation more stable by the day.
