Model helps robots think more like humans when searching for objects
Robots can learn how to find things faster by learning how different objects around the house are related, according to work from the University of Michigan. A new model provides robots with a visual search strategy that can teach them to look for a coffee pot nearby if they're already in sight of a refrigerator, in one of the paper's examples.
AI-powered interviewer provides guided reflection exercises during COVID-19 pandemic
