A model for autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance in UAVs
Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have shown great potential for a wide range of applications, including automated package delivery and the monitoring of large geographical areas. To complete missions in real-world environments, however, UAVs need to be able to navigate efficiently and avoid obstacles in their surroundings.
Tool transforms world landmark photos into 4-D experiences
Using publicly available tourist photos of world landmarks such as the Trevi Fountain in Rome or Top of the Rock in New York City, Cornell researchers have developed a method to create maneuverable 3-D images that show changes in appearance over time.
50 New Planets Confirmed in Machine Learning First – AI Distinguishes Between Real and “Fake” Planets
New machine learning algorithm designed by astronomers and computer scientists from University of Warwick confirms new exoplanets in telescope data Sky surveys find thousands of planet candidates, and astronomers have to separate the true planets fro
Scientists use reinforcement learning to train quantum algorithm
Recent advancements in quantum computing have driven the scientific community's quest to solve a certain class of complex problems for which quantum computers would be better suited than traditional supercomputers. To improve the efficiency with which quantum computers can solve these problems, scientists are investigating the use of artificial intelligence approaches.

Digital pathology and computational image analysis in nephropathology
Developments in digital pathology and computational image analysis have the potential to identify new disease mechanisms, improve disease classification and prognostication, and ultimately aid the identification of targeted therapies. In this Review, the authors provide an outline of the digital ecosystem in nephropathology and describe potential applications and challenges associated with the emerging armamentarium of technologies for image analysis.
New neural network differentiates Middle and Late Stone Age toolkits
The change from Middle Stone Age (MSA) to Later Stone Age (LSA) marks a major cultural change amongst our hunter-gatherer ancestors, but distinguishing between these two industrial complexes is not straightforward. New researc demonstrates how machine learning can provide a valuable tool for archaeologists, and can identify what differentiates the MSA and LSA.
Don't forget to clean robotic support pets, study says
Robotic support pets used to reduce depression in older adults and people with dementia acquire bacteria over time, but a simple cleaning procedure can help them from spreading illnesses, according to a new study.
